Pretty obvious Olaf got sacked, and from the sounds of it for good reason.

He left to start his own hedge fund, he didn't quit out of nowhere. Stop spreading FUD like you always do.

we dont need coinbase? why do we need coinbase?
what we NEED is a decentralized USD/BTC market.

I'm with you on that one, but then I'm not the one expecting to get rich by hodling BTC.
You do understand that shit like Coinbase is the difference between $20 and $600 coins, right? Or did you chug your own Kool Aid and actually think the price is driven by Bitcoin's tremendous frickin' utility, now that DNMs are all shit?
i think price is driven mostly by my speculations.
i speculate up aannnnnddd price goes down!

when did all this coinbase crap start? they're backed by some of the hugest guns in finance. I know people here love bashing them but them dying out of nowhere is a long shot however you wanna look at it.
if I was running coinbase i'd shut the place down purely to piss off all the whining bitcoiners.

It's just pure fud. Bitcoiners don't realize how much we need coinbase.

Coinbase is for all the average joes getting into bitcoin. And they don't spend time on forums reading fud.
maybe, ETF's fits that purpose better?

Adam, please don't be shortsighted to the absolute need for as many viable/legal onramps for Average Joe to be able to easily buy (and sell) Bitcoin, everywhere and any time, in every country. Otherwise there will never be user growth.
No we don't need one entity for this, but you could argue that Coinbase has made more inroads in the U.S. states (where KYC/AML compliance is ridiculous) than ANY other company, than many other broker companies combined. Not to mention their growth into other countries.
So for that reason alone, yes we need Coinbase. Because if a company like Coinbase can't do it in the U.S. and be successful, then no other company will be either.

according to that miners are moving to a new client, uh, yesterday. not only do they control bitcoin, they also control time and space. that's pretty cool.

I'm not saying that it won't blow up, or that it will blow up, but how the hell can it fail with 100mn+ in VC funding? 
I mean, seriously, they must lose an enormous amount of funds to go under (?).

These halvening rubes must've bought up tens of thousands of coins judging by the volume.
I wonder if Elwar's got any extra houses he's willing to take a 10% haircut on... might help stem the bleeding.

Post halving dump from people expecting to get rich because of the halving.
Pretty much, imo. Let them jettison and then we'll see what this baby can do.
finex longs dont move one shit
They will drop soon because of margin calls.
