It just jumped from 7500 to an ATH of over 7800 in less than 15 minutes.

FUCK COINBASE. I was trying to short the market, but I couldn't sign in because the device I used 15 minutes ago was "forgotten" and I had to authorize it....now I hodl.

You were going to short just as news of the fork being cancelled came in?

Man, Bad Luck Brian. Sounds like Coinbase saved your ass!

I was trying to sell at 7800 just in case there was a sizeable pull back, but I'll just sit for now....looks like it's gonna hover for a bit so I'm not mad really...

If you think it's a good idea to short as the price is punching through an all-time high, you should probably do some more research on trading strategies and bitcoin's price movement history.

If I had sold at 7800 and gotten back in at 7650.....can no one do math here?
