Great post @zer0hedge . While it is entirely possible that Facebook wants to get rid of the scam ads that involve cryptocurrency. It's important that we speculate on the recent chain of events because they actually have significant WEIGHT in this matter. This isn't the first time we've seen a chain of events happen in this space that have lead to massive market movements.
Don't believe me? In 2017 around November, we saw a massive BTC correction and a MASSIVE rise in BCH. I'm not even talking about when it was added to Coinbase. I'll get to that later. It's important that we connect the dots in order to possibly PREPARE for what could happen in the future. After all, our money's in this.
Let's look at Coinbase and BCH. Leading up to BCH being added on Coinbase, we saw massive speculation from news sources talking about "what will coinbase add next?" We saw ripple pass Ethereum out of PURE speculation. We saw new money enter the market. We even saw "leaked" images of XRP being on coinbase's "beta" platform. Then Coinbase had an "early" release of BCH on its platform and all hell broke loose.
Were they insider trading? Probably. Look at the increase in BCH volume days before we saw the release.
Point is people, we need to connect the dots.
