Didn't Coinbase also switch to Bitcoin Cash during the blocksize wars? I don't remember much of 2017 except that I had like $50 of Bitcoin on Coinbase that was converted into "Bitcoin Cash" which I then had to convert back via shapeshift.
Even if they didn't support Core they could have let me keep both BTC and BCH but they didn't if my memory serves me correctly

I don't recall exactly. I owned bitcoin at that time but I was merging my business with another company and I was busy as all hell. Besides, owning it doesn't mean I understood anything. Haha.
I know Brian was supporting the big blockers and when the fork occurred you got the equivalent amount of BCash, which was actually great because I just sold it for Bitcoin. But I don't think they switched to Bitcoin Cash, maybe they promoted it as "bitcoin" or something but you shouldn't have lost you BTC stack. You should have had both.
