If I have 20 coins in coinbase and an account at bitfinex.

I buy 20 from bitfinex  and just sell the 20 coins I have at coinbase I end up with 20 coins and 800 in cash.

At least until Conbase says your transaction was suspecious and voids your trade if the price moves against them.

Seriously, I think panics are a great time to arbitrage between exchanges, I'm just not sure coinbase is the best one to use.  Good luck all the same.

And yes, I do think this is an XT event.  It adds a lot of uncertainty and weakens the ecosystem, both good reasons to sell and not buy.
