Until it's on again. Didn't they fork a few months ago too (Bitcoin Cash)?

Coinbase didn't sign the notice calling off segwit2x[0] even tho they were an NYA signatory - but rather said they were "monitoring"[1] the situation

I sense some uncertainty from Coinbase on what they want to do next.

edit: also interesting that the price for segwit2x futures has increased today to ~$380 after a low of $198[2]

What is bitcoin futures? Is this speculative pricing on the speculative 2x fork?

This reminds me of the scene in The Big Short where a manager casually talks about CDOs, synthetic CDOs and squared CDOs. And Steve Carell's character start asking: "what are squared CDOs... ?"

Different camps, different forks, pushing different kind of agenda
