But BTC is all about trust...

You mean 90% negative reviews shouldn't be trusted?

First google search going "Coinbase Review" comes up with 4 links that have the term "Scam"

Wonder if wheels shows up again

Foam cows should edit his post. Good thing you sold it off...

Weak minds, weak actions.

Sounds odd that he is SOL, you make a phone call, and promise it'll be fixed. Only makes this entire process more shady.

Can you imagine if this was a real currency: "I just called the Fed and they are going to allow you access to the window.)

The fact the employees go by # is really weird, too. reminds me of the simpsons where homers gets banned from his own secret society.

Zoneclub knows his ***** Take his investing advice.

Anyone seen the documentary "Banking on Bitcoin" that just came out?

I have a case Id, and I did receive a reply today from Kyle. He said wait a bit more as it is taking longer than indicated when I made the withdrawal from Coinbase.

I checked just 30 minutes ago and I now see the funds in my chase account (which is great) however now I have the opposite issue it appears. I have the money in my bank account AND the original amount is also back in my Coinbase... so now I have double what I should. I will most likely write them back informing them of the issue as I would prefer to just get everything sorted and be done with it.

This is way to buggy to throw anything but fun money at... you pretty much just have to assume anything you invest will be gone and hope for the best.

I've had other issues I've been silent about but maybe I should voice. Two weeks ago when everything was going wild I attempted to exchange from bitcoin to usd and it wouldn't. It was overloaded. Definitely not ideal and not something you would want in this volatile of a market. I was locked out for 30 minutes, which in bitcoin is an eternity.

Herp derp

Derp a lerp

Give up. Your ship battleship got sunk. People on here tried it, got burned, you want to throw around red herrings to disguise the opaqueness of the market and its participants, you completely glossed over the "now we have another issue" showing the currency is a farce and goes against 99% of your original argument because now you have exchanged bitcoins and regenerated bitcoins. Counterfeit bitcoins? Who knows? Maybe give your "guy" a call because what little wall Humpy Dumpy was sitting on is crashing down like the Light House of Alexandria.

I'd bet money that wheels has a financial interest in coin base. He knows the employees by their names/numbers, reaches them on a weekend, and gets it resolved within 12 hours. Notwithstanding the fact he completely glossed over the inability to cash out because of an overload in the system.

Funny that he knows so much about this particular company, yet fails to recognize that what he is posting is directly contracticted by about 10,000 reviews online including the BBB and one of the cryptocurrency "watch dogs" ("watch dogs" since the only real regulators are group blogs of former employees and investors).

Ahhh my crypto battleship sunk... jk zoneclub a dumbass

Attack attack attack, whatever.

I've used coinbase with next to no issues for years now, and all issues were resolved.

I helped start a nonprofit in Houston around cryptocurrency education and had speakers from different companies, funds, currencies speak monthly. It's still a relatively small market of people building and employed in the crypto world, I'm sure you can imagine.

So you admit to having a what appears to be conflict of interest as you promote the companies you invest in under the guise of education. Are you using federal or state funding to conduct such series? Are they funded by the companies in which you're promoting? If so on either account, do you disclose your material holdings to assuage any potential conflict of interest and empire building motives when presenting marketing material?

Also, you never answered as to if you hold direct or indirect ownsership or preferred placement options, warrants, or any other potential compensation related to any entity or subsidiary of any entity you have posted about or respond to in this thread. Do you? Also, if you have personal affiliations that could be considered material, please disclose them.

By making consistent recommendations to buy Bitcoin, Have to think you are running very near the three pronged test of needing to be registered an licensed as a broker and advisor as you are giving specific recommendations on what you are labeling a currency/asset.

Please tread lightly as this is only becoming murkerier and murkier as to the legality of your pitch, your failure to disclose, a poster using your direct recommendation to invest, a material loss occurring, and the company in which you promoted not operating as implied across multiple attempts at satisfactory due diligence.

Two things:

WTF is a chartered retirement camp counselor?

Bitcoin is not the future.

Carry on

Update. Accounts have been sorted and everything is now netting out as expected. I have removed all connections to my credit cards and bank accounts (hopefully).

In the end I'm leaving Coinbase behind for the same reasons I left behind robinhood. They aren't fine tuned yet. They are way to rough on the edges and work the worst when you need them the most. Both times with markets became volatile they locked me out, not by design but because the servers were overloaded. In the meantime I'm stuck on the outside hoping for a good outcome.

This doesn't happen with larger established investment firms.

I'm probably done with bitcoin for now. It doesn't have enough indicators for me on which direction it might go. Plus the same reasons I don't tinker in forex in that it's 24/7/365. The most recent crash came at 1am. Go to bed at 1150$ and wake up and it's 900$ and falling... yes, this happens in all markets, even when they are closed...but in the other markets they offer more advanced trading options with stop losses and other ways to protect yourself.

Wheel, I appreciate the offer to help with Coinbase. It's a little scary that you are on first name basis with them but I understand the offer was well intentioned.

Nah.

If you want some exposure to bitcoin, but also want to avoid some of the problems foamcows experienced, what is the downside to a bitcoin ETF? Less volatility?

Nah

Lol, I should have looked into it a bit first , just assumed there would be one out there -- apparently the SEC will be making an approval decision on it in March. Will be interesting to see how that goes.

$GBTC


Don't worry, it fell off a cliff too.

Nah

I used to just think you were over-exuberant or over-confident due to your personal stake...

But now I'm not so sure. Do you even understand the technology? Blockchain is not cryptocurrency or bitcoin, but rather an underlying technology those are built on.... your statement "Currency is just a one of many use cases for cryptocurrency" is semantically null and void.
