bitMEX SELLS ALL ITS CUSTOMERS' BCH!!!

in #crypto6 years ago

So, bitMEX - major crypto derivatives trading platform - sold all its customers' Bitcoin Cash (BCH) on December 28th, 2017. This is not really a surprise move because it announced its plans to do so on its blog post in November 2017. Basically, bitMEX doesn't like the manner in which the hard fork which resulted in Bitcoin Cash being born on August 1st was done.

bitMEX is not against all hard forks, however. Should trading platforms be allowed to have this much liberty with their users' assets? Shouldn't the users/customers/business have more say in the matter?
