bch hit 1800 then zoomed to over 3k
Nope, it hit 4.3k. Then it dropped to 1.9k. In a day. That is a typical pump & dump.
Last time it went from 300 to 2500 in the craziest parabolic rise, then dumped to 900.
See the pattern? Pump & dump. Great market.. sure it's great to make money, as long as you're part of the ones who get the message (like, from Coinbase) before the pump, and you know when it's gonna dump. But quite a lot of people bought at the top & got burnt.
In any case, this is far from the stability a coin should have when it claims to be usable as a daily currency. It's only a nice market to make money when you're not a noob.
Your grandma who discovered Coinbase 2 days ago, bought "that Bitcoin she heard about on TV", and went for the cheapest one called "cash", at over 4k, and sold it at 2k... yeah she must think it was a great investment...
what you don't get is pre coinbase the normal vale ratio was 20 to 1 btc to bch
it is now less than 5 to 1
yeah, I do acknowledge the nice run the BCH had, but it has nothing to do with your subject.
That run is *artificial*, that's my point. If you're looking for pump&dumps, you'd have better luck with ALTs, over 100% pumps & dumps happen daily.
