So Etherum just got added on Kraken.com ?
Very interesting how the price is going to develop for ETH...
So much about the hype about Ethereum being a Bitcoin add on and not a competing currency.
Color me shocked.
Vitalik said Ethereum was not a competing currency to Bitcoin, but either panic dumped his IPO Bitcoins or deliberately sold them at times he knew would do the most possible damage to Bitcoin's price, like immediately after the Bitstamp hack. I hope he doesn't use his founder Ethereum stake to do more damage to Bitcoin's price.
I remember that.
Can you short Ether on Kraken?
I know you can short Bitcoin there, but I don't know if you can short anything else.
