I can't see how the BCC price can go anywhere but down if all Coinbase customers suddenly gain this ability ("Do you want extra BTC. Yes/no?").
- JoshTriplett 9y ago> Simple solution: Coinbase adds "convert BCC to BTC" button, which does exactly what you say, but charges a fee for this service. That's exactly what I want. (That or a "convert BCC to cash" button, they're equivalent.) They already charge transactions fees. Just write a careful announcement saying something like "due to the nature of the fork, anyone with 1 BTC at time X is entitled to 1 BCC as well, and we're providing a service to cash in that BCC for you".
- mirimir 9y agoSeveral exchanges are auto-converting their users' BCC to BTC, I've read.[0] 0) https://steemit.com/bitcoin/@kingscrown/if-you-were-not-aware-in-4-days-you-can-have-14-more-of-btc-for-free https://steemit.com/bitcoin/@kingscrown/if-you-were-not-awar...
- Double_a_92 9y agoYou can't just "convert" them. You still have to sell them to someone, can't force that. Even if you could that would pull the price down extremely. Easiest thing is to just give the user access to the new chain and it's "parallel"-coins. Then he can decide when and how to sell them.
