That the rollout of BCH was problematic is not something I disagree with. It was a huge embarrassment professionally for coinbase.

I am well aware of BCH increasing in price prior to the launch but #1 EVERYTHING was going up in price at the time - BCH started ramping up the prior week from ~ $1700, and #2 really took off once the API keys were publicly found that weekend. That there was a peak of insanity on the release of BCH, I don't dispute, I merely claim that these other claims of nefarious actions can be easily explained through more mundane behaviors.
