What happened on Coinbase with the ETC/ETH fork? Did other exchanges handle it differently? I'm a little out of the loop on that coin, but I do have BTC so I would like to know what to expect.

Yes I think so, because SEC usually they just approved something if there is benefits that they get. Now concerning about the etf winklevos, it is rght that sec rejected it. Actually, by refusing it, I saw their interest and there intention it wouldn't succeed because of the decentralization of bitcoin.

SEC was right in a way that it could not give permission to Bitcoins Etf but is It right to assume that the prices will crash if it didn't was wrong. The fork statement has taken the steam outside the market of Bitcoin and now it's a matter of not when but if the prices of Bitcoins come crashing down. Once again the community has divided itself and we are going to be paying a huge price. The SEC would obviously not allow such kind of Etf to be passed away, they are bound by their regulators and rules do we all should just pray, that better sense prevails.

And to add to that, why on earth would the ETF accept Bitcoin with the current conflict with the dumbass miners who could potentially sink Bitcoin?

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) of the United States of America was right of disapproving the ETF. They have seen the current situation of bitcoin together with the very slow confirmation of transactions and higher miner fees which is not very friendly to the users. If this continues it will be clear that all ETF will be refused by the SEC. But maybe this time SOLIDX will be lucky since before its approval Bitcoin Unlimited core have been separated to bitcoin network. THe SolidX ETF may just be approved by the SEC if all problems in the bitcoin network will be settled before its evaluation.

The current dip in the price has nothing to do with the SEC.... You will see a big DASH and ETH pump now, and then it will crash again. People are

making money out of this whole situation. In the end, most of this will return to normal when these people dumped their Alt coins and bought

Bitcoin again. The SEC is being controlled by banks.... so most of us expected that it would not be approved. 

The SEC was right in disapproving the ETF, but not for the reasons that you mentioned.  I think they were a lot more concerned about Bitcoin's use in fraud than with any other aspect of it or its current state.

Bitcoin should have nothing to do with the sec, we don't need them. I am glad they rejected, and I hope they will continue to do so.
