I wonder if that's what's behind the most recent BTC price drop. Hopefully Coinbase has another banking partner already.

I'm moving up to the "big leagues" with bot trading--the USD-BTC market on Bittrex--which is why I know exactly what the BTC price is doing right now. (adds several new trading pairs to stay ahead of the BTC price free fall). I like this market because it moves a lot, so my trading pairs see a lot of action. In contrast, the BTC-XEM market which I started out with (and am still in) can be quite slow, which makes it a great market to learn the ropes on.
