that actually seems to be gdax not coinbase.

Then I'm really confused as to the relationship between the two. Here's Coinbase support posting a "how do I use GADX?" article: https://community.coinbase.com/t/what-is-gdax-how-do-i-use-i...

GADX is their trading platform. They don't plan on supporting trading with BCC. That being said, no, you don't own a short position. I don't see why that would even be related to this.

so inflation comes in terms of forks in the realm of crypto currencies. Isn't it how it started with gold-based government currencies as well? every government created their own currency/fork of gold. edit: typo, inflation

Do you mean inflation ? Crypto currency space is new still, forks are innovation and competition. That is good.

Can someone who understands pros and cons of bcc vs btc explain to me ( us ) which one of the two is more likely to scale / win ?

I understand this stuff but that's not enough to make confident predictions. I realize this sounds like a copout but I don't think anyone can predict what will happen here.

Is there a viable alternative to Coinbase? Their support is absurdly awful. Two months and they sent two auto-replies to a simple ticket that couldn't be answered by the knowledge base. They don't care about your money - so long as it's already in their vault.

they are two diferent ways to solve the same scalability problem, Btc doubles the current number of transactions by increasing the block from 1mb to 2mb and adds a new service the segregated witnesses that allows off-the-chain private transactions, Bcc simply increases the block to 8mb for roughly 8x times more transactions.

It's literally inflation. The money supply just doubled assuming both chains continue to be going concerns.
