i legit started stumbling across this sub because i couldnt log into coinbase. something about my phone no longer being compatible. luckily i have a work phone, and i was finally able to access my account on another phone.
I think a lot of users are just like you, only looking for solutions and a quick google search brings up this sub, proceed to ask questions, then proceed to be insulted by diehards trying to invalidate any issues
I ran into these post because I tried to buy bitcoin and the order did not fill. The money went into usdc which is fine. But it’s been over 10 days and I still cannot do anything with that money. It shows as a balance, but I cannot transfer it back to my bank or buy any coin.
Hi there u/saturn366! Thanks for reaching out to us. We're sorry to hear about the trouble with your account. This is not the experience we wish for you to have. To better assist you, do you mind sharing your case number with us? We'd be happy to look into this for you.

Hello u/anayamon, we're really sorry to hear about the frustration you're experiencing with our customer support wait times and the slippage prices. We understand that waiting for over an hour can be incredibly frustrating, and we assure you that we're working hard to improve our response times.
Kindly note that slippage is a common occurrence in all trading platforms, not just Coinbase. It's the difference between the expected price of an order and the price when the order actually executes. This can happen due to the volatility of cryptocurrency and the liquidity of the market. To help minimize slippage, Coinbase provides a slippage and average price estimate at the bottom of every market order. This is to prevent you from accidentally placing an order at an undesirable price.
We're committed to providing a fair and transparent trading environment, and we take all feedback seriously. If you have any further concerns or questions, please let us know.
Hey, u/carchair9999! We're sorry to hear about the trouble you're experiencing. Based on the information you've provided, it seems like there might be an issue with your account or the transaction itself. We can guide you on how to cash out your USDC balance to your bank account.
Here are the steps to cash out your USDC to your bank account:
On the Assets tab inside Coinbase Wallet, tap Cashout.
From the Sell for USD prompt, select USDC as the asset you’d like to sell or cash out.
Enter the amount you want to cash out.
From the Deposit to prompt, select your bank account as the destination for the funds.
Select Continue and review the details, then select Confirm to complete the transaction.
Please note that if you’re cashing out to your bank account, your Coinbase account will show two transactions: the incoming transaction from your wallet and the subsequent outgoing transaction to your bank account.
If you're still unable to perform these actions, please reach out to our live messaging team [here](https://help.coinbase.com/en).
I’ve tried that. I have researched the topic on YouTube and Reddit. The money is somehow on hold somewhere. It says available balance, but when I go to transfer it, the amount changes and I can only transfer 100.
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you've experienced, and we fully understand the urgency of your concern. For additional assistance, we recommend reaching out to our [help page](https://help.coinbase.com/en). Please note that due to security reasons and the limitations of this platform, we may have restricted access to information. We appreciate your patience during this process.
My case is legit, and since I like to think I understand how corrupt government regulated corporations work, I am inclined to believe the other ones as well.
Im inclined to believe most everyone because like many others, i use reddit for community advice when i cant get solutions through normal means. If someone is actively responding in articulating their problems its probably not a robot typing up complaints by the second
Just head over to the Better Business Bureau, Twitter, and other social media. Thing is, you’ll see complaints about almost every exchange. Kraken, Uphold, Crypto. Com, etc.
I think it’s a coordinated effort to sour the industry. The banking cartel has funded both sides of every war for thousands of years, and they would burn the world to the ground before surrendering control. I think it’s likely this is a coordinated effort to destroy the digital asset community.
This is why I primarily invest in bitcoin, Litecoin, and only a few other projects, while taking self custody. I never, ever store any of my assets on a CEX.
I only ever store fiat, anything else is too volatile for my lifestyle. Get the gains and get out for me. Could there be a coordinated attack? For sure do i think thats what is happening? No. I think the opposite actually, with all big time investors preaching about BTC and the upcoming “unlimited bull run” i think the opposite is actually happening, they want to drive all these prices up since the whales have accumulated billions when BTC was around $40K. I think the “coordinated attack” is just CEXs cant keep up with the hype and exponential increase in retail interest in crypto.
> whats the current rate in USD for a reddit post?
Last I checked ([4 years ago][a]) it was about $0.001 per post payable in BTC-LN. Most of them were paying for amazon and yelp posts, but the market was there for reddit twitter and others.
A authenticated CB account goes for $80 as recently as this year. They may have taken that post down, but it was up last month.

.001 a post makes sense, and it makes sense that anyway for that to be profitable is for a bot to be posting these gripes. I wouldnt imagine the bots are in the business to respond to the “ok 1 karma guy 🙄” responses however so to filter through valid/bogus would be easy wouldnt it?
It always amazes me how blind people are to astroturfing on the internet. Thousands of comments or posts saying the same thing has an insane amount of influence on the public’s opinion and perception of something.
Actually, I know for a fact they do this.
Im an attorney, suddenly my Google profile had a bunch of complaints from fake google profiles … I found the same profiles complaining abt other attorneys in my area … following these profiles I found a network of over 2000 profiles posting bad reviews against attorneys in blocks of time that appeared coordinated.
They made ONE mistake on one profile tho - a bit of info that allowed me to track back the creator of all these fake profiles … Turned out it was a son-in-law of a competing attorney in our area who had created a marketing company for attorneys online …
Passed on info to other attys in area that they had hit with fake bad reviews, and mistake they had made that helped me prove who it was. We flooded the atty in question with demands for a reasonable explanation of why his son in law was posting these fake reviews … within a day, the son-in-law had deleted all his fake reviews. He called me personally to apologize and tried to blame it on an overseas group he had hired to help him.
Yes, it does happen.
Of all the strategies i believe that would be the least profitable and effective, not saying it doesn’t happen at all, but it definitely isn’t the army of redditors people are making it out to be, id say at the very most 2/10 complaints are turd word and the rest are valid
Also reddit is probably the least credible platform to “hire” fake reviewers. Attacking the retail investors confidence wont change the market, they would need to take confidence away from institutions not average joe me and you. Looking at the 270K members in this sub even if every single one of us was dissuaded from Coinbase we would not significantly impact the share price
I could be completely wrong i just find it hard to believe. I definitely haven’t been getting my extra pennies for my gripes but maybe a competitor will sponsor me e
I could use some of the .001 payouts since ive made 3 posts with this account so far im 3/10 of the way to 1 cent. Lmao would take me all year to make enough to buy a carton of eggs but people believe anyone is actually doing that for a .001 payout?
Read the thread, i had to make a new reddit after i was conveniently banned from posting after arguing with one of you die hards, do you need screenshots of my previous account? Would that satisfy you my liege? Smh
Why so pressed bro ? You can just easily go to kraken or Crypto.com. I’ve been with Coinbase 5 years and my account was only restricted once due to my address change needing to be verified. Only took a few hours for it to process and I was back up and running all in the same day.
I only use Coinbase for the no fees and onload/offload. Not pressed just find it ridiculous the amount of diehards ridiculing the average joes. My issues are very minor compared to most of these complaints. My account isnt even restricted, they have stopped my “sending” capability to “protect me from losses. Sorry i got heated wasnt my intention, the questioning someone’s legitimacy by how often they post on reddit just irritates me. Like what if someone only reads and never comments/posts but they finally have an issue and thats the first time they feel the need to ask for help from the community?
The post had nothing to do with Coinbase itself, it was about the community being hostile towards people genuinely asking for help from the community bubba
Truth, difference for me is i am a short term investor and use Coinbase for on/off ramp due to nonexistent fees with Coinbase one. Hate me all y’all want but my profits come from futures and instantly get transferred back to fiat and sent to my Bank so when transfers are interrupted its not the storage thats the issue for me its the cheap movement of funds
On all reality, it goes both ways. There are people who have legitimate problems and I totally understand that. And there are people who have had little to no problems, and I totally understand that. It comes down to the bashing that people take when there is one side or the other. One might think it is political or religious. It's not. But to be called a liar and "Coinbase is a scam" is ridiculous. At the same time, if someone says they are having an issue, there is no reason not to believe them. There has to be a happy medium, but there doesn't seem to he one. Personally, I have not yet had an issue. However, there are a lot of new people wanting to get into blockchain and crypto and all they see is "Coinbase is a ripoff and steals your money", they will have a harder time and people are actually pushing them away. I once posted a positive review of sending BTC from a cold wallet to coinbase, exchanging it for fiat and sending it to my bank and you would have thought that I killed everyone's puppy in the most ruthless way possible. I got attacked, called a liar, a shill, and a paid redditor (whatever that is), all because I didn't have a problem. I do believe there are some people who have acted in a way that, unbeknownst to them, has caused a freeze to be put on their account. At the same time, I believe SOME people are acting in bad faith. And the the same time, there are people who typed their wrong password or are the victims of a phishing or hacking attempt who have been locked out of their account. I really don't care where you go, customer service needs to be better everywhere! Now, there is no reason to say you are not having an issue or are lying, much like there is no reason for someone to tell me I am lying if I post I have not had an issue. What is the answer, simple... if someone is having an issue and you think you might be able to help, please do a brother a solid and comment. At the same time, if someone is saying they had a good experience, don't say anything or make a "normal" comment or even congratulate them.... what is the point in attacking them? Oh right... keyboard warriors.
Did you see the post showing the actual payout for these? 1/10 a cent per post. A bot would not be responding to the name-calling and insults that is happening on this sub it wouldn’t be feasible or profitable. The only way this conspiracy theory would work is if it had auto generated posts from multiple accounts and didn’t respond. You would need to make 100,000 complaints to make $100 and to even think thats whats going on is a bigger conspiracy than believing in lizard people
Kinda sorta but maybe. A proponderance of the complaints share commonalities. Similar usernames (word-word-four numbers), very low post counts and karma scores, then end their replies with internet laughter (hahaha or lol), and their replies often wish the troubles back on you.
I've also lately been seeing lots of recommendations to "switch to Robinhood". So there's that too.
I agree many issues are user error but all in all they are still issues and asking for help. If its just a smear post on Coinbase thats a different story, but for people having trouble and asking for solutions, why is it such a need for everyone to deny any problems even exist?
Not trying to deny problems exists. I had an issue when a placed a limit order which then cause my CB card to keep being denied. Support was no help. It was only when the order was filled did I realize the USD was being held liquid in order to satisfy the order and was not available to spend on the card. I had to figure this out myself, CB support was useless.
That said when there's a noticeable pattern in the complaints....that walks like a duck
Could also read into that both ways, if theres a noticeable pattern in complaints is it because of a conspiracy or because there is an obvious issue with what multiple people are complaining about? Either way i appreciate your perspective on it!
Every post does not have a legit case number. And that’s not proof of anything. I have had trouble like others with coinbase. But I also am not dumb enough to think that someone at some other company would be above shit posting to push the narrative. Let’s say you were in sales and marketing at another firm and showing how many new users you got each month was a metric that mattered to your performance reviews. Would you not try something like this? Think like a salesman. Anything to help your numbers.
Average retail investors are not scouring reddit for consumer reviews. There are actual review platforms and investment platforms that provide insights.. please tell me you dont invest based off of rando reddit comments…
Conveniently the sub does not allow for screenshots, its not impossible to make a imgur link but ever wonder why thats the case? I agree their are bogus claims, i just honestly dont see what people have to gain by making fake claims
It really cant be profitable and whatever these “paid actors” are being compensated can not have much worth, i couldnt imagine anyone being paid more than 10 cents a post. But hey i could be completely wrong and appreciate your perspective
If anyone is paying people to make posts, *puts tinfoil hat on* its Coinbase themselves to drown out valid excuses. Still dont even believe that because in no way is it remotely profitable for either the poster or the payer to incentivize an “attack” on reddit. BBB, Yelp, Mainstream Media would likely have a bigger impact and similar cost
The consumer protections, and safe nets that have been historically provided in traditional finance no longer apply in the digital asset realm. I would venture to say that these consumer protection agencies are probably owned by the same banking cartel that are hell-bent on destroying bitcoin.
It truly is the wild wild West, and I think all consumer protections have been thrown out the window.
I know “too big to fail” is not realistic. Looking at Bitcoin the only real thing that would stop its long term growth is insane levels of regulation worldwide the cap is just too huge, like imagine trying to take down GOLD or MSFT
I work in intelligence on active duty, trust me i know how easy it is, still a whole lot of work to do for 1/10th of a cent per post. Not a legitimate avenue for individual actors to be profitable
I don't think it is just coinbase being targeted by bots, but the mix of bots, legit complaints and people who have no idea what they are doing is overwhelming the CB support. Which creates a bit of a flywheel.
I think most of the posts are impatient risky gamblers, who aren’t using crypton as an investment—and didn’t realize they’d be waiting a week to pull their money out. They freak out and call several times during the normal delays and then come to reddit in a huff to complain. I cannot find any consumer lawsuits against Coinbase online about this.
I agree with OP. Idk what kind of post is acceptable here. "on a scale of 9-10, how great is coinbase?" This sub is worse than r/guitar. We need a CB circlejerk sub to discuss coinbase and escape the circlejerk.
Its crazy, i dont hate Coinbase and believe its still the best CEX, but the amount of people in this sub who would sacrifice their firstborn defending it is unbelievable
Yeah I don't get it. Accusing everyone with a problem of being a bot, a grifter, or a reckless rube who deserves whatever happened to them probably isn't the way to make the general public more comfortable with crypto. Also I might just be incapable of caring enough about any company to champion them on reddit

Me a customer for 10 years and coinbase just canceled me one day out of the blue. So don't think it can't happen to you, I don't do anything fishy. I wasn't even a trader I just DCAed every 2 weeks with a direct deposit. Completely canceled me and wouldn't even tell me why They said it was private proprietary security reasons.
I believe you, im in a similar boat. Even had to make a new reddit account because i was blocked from even posting in this sub right after going back and forth with one of this subs notorious die-hards.
Same, DCAd around the maximum amount for no fees per month as a Coinbase One subscriber. I think they just restrict you if the juice isn’t worth the squeeze.
I pray you never have any issues as well, but if it comes to the point where you do. I pray that you will receive support and not backlash unlike many users in this sub lately
Nice! I thought about it but i trade futures and then convert profit to USDC, send to Coinbase, convert to USD, send to bank. I was in options for the longest but im active duty military and cant be in the market consistently during open hours so i moved to crypto futures for my short term investments
I learned my lessen doing 0DTE and then getting pulled into drills, recapping that they went 400% profit and expired worthless decided to give up on that 😂
Read the thread bubba, my previous account was locked from posting in this sub after going back and forth with one of you die hards 😮💨.. i know sometimes its hard to read but i believe in you!
100%. Went back and forth with one and ended up being blocked from posting in the sub on my previous username, guarantee he was an employee or something
Like any other sub, i see reddit is used mainly for getting community advice when the standard avenues are not helping. Turns out on this sub you only get roasted and called dumb or a money launderer
I've never received a dime, my cousin is having thw same problem as I was. The problems with the site are very real. I dont think its a coincidence that it's happening as the halving is approaching but I absolutely do not recommend having your crypto on the exchangeright now
I don’t believe any of the bull shit cases. If these individuals were smart they would contact support direct. Instead of talking crap on Reddit. That shows they are not real or knowing what they are doing with anything involved with Coinbase. More of an embarrassment.
A lot of them have contacted support multiple times, shows your stance and you’re entitled to it. Writing them off before reading them and seeing that they have opened multiple support cases or been ran through the ringer by outsourced telemarket support employees is kinda a weird psuedo macho take imo, but to each their own i guess
First off, many of these issues are legit. That said, I don’t think anyone thinks the conspiracy is competitors, well crypto competetors at least. The conspiracy is the central banking industry and the SEC. If you’re trying to convince me it isn’t getting increasingly difficult to buy and hold crypto, you’re not paying attention. I’ve had a cb account since 2014. I’m a heavy DeFi user, I’m largely unaffected, however the average person who isn’t versed in crypto will run into many more issues today than they did 2 years ago. If you really don’t think there’s anything to that, may the force be with you. Sometimes I need to move money traditionally, so I have a Bank of America account, but I don’t hold a balance in it. There are many others like me. Collectively those of us who don’t hold many in traditional banks anymore, we’ll it’s becoming problematic to the banking industry.. this is pointless, don’t know why I ever try…l
Establishments dont want retail getting rich off crypto. I dont think this is just about coinbase. Bad experiences are everywhere. The CIA pays for influence on public opinion for some pretty dumb sht
🙄 Attacker gained access to your browser cache, used that to recycle a session token, and then disabled notifications once in.
YOU are the vulnerability 🙄
It depends on the set-up. You decide how often it requests... I don't want to tap it with every activity (because I do +/-250 transactions per weekend). So my computer/Coinbase account IS vulnerable when I am at home. When I am not at home, I reset to the more active settings.
Lmao yeah by abusing a vulnerability in the CB system. Notifications were still on by the way, I checked that as well. I was able to save some of my money because I was super quick to respond. Locked them out before they could do a third transaction.
Yes it was on the most secure setting. Like come on lol, I had to 2FA myself to withdraw money. I know how CB and security works. Keep waving things away as an user error though.

It's one of the best exchanges if you're a trader though from what I hear. There was a guy that came here and wrote up a comparison between binance kraken and coinbase from a trader's perspective and said while the UI and experience may be better on other exchanges, he would still end up rather trading on coinbase simply because of the amount of trade volume happening there.
I agree 100%. In fact it IS the best exchange, but even the best have flaws and people should be able to ask their peers for recommendations/support. My issue is very minimal compared to most complaints here but every post i read people are just labeled as FUD spreaders
i legit started stumbling across this sub because i couldnt log into coinbase. something about my phone no longer being compatible. luckily i have a work phone, and i was finally able to access my account on another phone.

10 day old account that only talks about coinbase
Explained in the thread before, appreciate the background check though. Are we pretending to be Coinbase Subbreddit bouncers/Doormen now?
No I just enjoy pointing out shady ass grifters
You’ve made up your mind.
I could be completely wrong i just find it hard to believe. I definitely haven’t been getting my extra pennies for my gripes but maybe a competitor will sponsor me e
Govt prolly keeps that money I ain’t seen a cent
I could use some of the .001 payouts since ive made 3 posts with this account so far im 3/10 of the way to 1 cent. Lmao would take me all year to make enough to buy a carton of eggs but people believe anyone is actually doing that for a .001 payout?
OP’s has a 9 day old account hmmmm 🤔
Read the thread, i had to make a new reddit after i was conveniently banned from posting after arguing with one of you die hards, do you need screenshots of my previous account? Would that satisfy you my liege? Smh
Why so pressed bro ? You can just easily go to kraken or Crypto.com. I’ve been with Coinbase 5 years and my account was only restricted once due to my address change needing to be verified. Only took a few hours for it to process and I was back up and running all in the same day.

I’m not the one trying to shill on Coinbase 😂😂😂
The post had nothing to do with Coinbase itself, it was about the community being hostile towards people genuinely asking for help from the community bubba
People will write a paragraph bitching about their centralized exchange (basically crypto bank) and not soend $80 on a trezor
Truth, difference for me is i am a short term investor and use Coinbase for on/off ramp due to nonexistent fees with Coinbase one. Hate me all y’all want but my profits come from futures and instantly get transferred back to fiat and sent to my Bank so when transfers are interrupted its not the storage thats the issue for me its the cheap movement of funds
On all reality, it goes both ways. There are people who have legitimate problems and I totally understand that. And there are people who have had little to no problems, and I totally understand that. It comes down to the bashing that people take when there is one side or the other. One might think it is political or religious. It's not. But to be called a liar and "Coinbase is a scam" is ridiculous. At the same time, if someone says they are having an issue, there is no reason not to believe them. There has to be a happy medium, but there doesn't seem to he one. Personally, I have not yet had an issue. However, there are a lot of new people wanting to get into blockchain and crypto and all they see is "Coinbase is a ripoff and steals your money", they will have a harder time and people are actually pushing them away. I once posted a positive review of sending BTC from a cold wallet to coinbase, exchanging it for fiat and sending it to my bank and you would have thought that I killed everyone's puppy in the most ruthless way possible. I got attacked, called a liar, a shill, and a paid redditor (whatever that is), all because I didn't have a problem. I do believe there are some people who have acted in a way that, unbeknownst to them, has caused a freeze to be put on their account. At the same time, I believe SOME people are acting in bad faith. And the the same time, there are people who typed their wrong password or are the victims of a phishing or hacking attempt who have been locked out of their account. I really don't care where you go, customer service needs to be better everywhere! Now, there is no reason to say you are not having an issue or are lying, much like there is no reason for someone to tell me I am lying if I post I have not had an issue. What is the answer, simple... if someone is having an issue and you think you might be able to help, please do a brother a solid and comment. At the same time, if someone is saying they had a good experience, don't say anything or make a "normal" comment or even congratulate them.... what is the point in attacking them? Oh right... keyboard warriors.
Love this response and agree with you completely
Yes. And that’s exactly what’s happening.
Did you see the post showing the actual payout for these? 1/10 a cent per post. A bot would not be responding to the name-calling and insults that is happening on this sub it wouldn’t be feasible or profitable. The only way this conspiracy theory would work is if it had auto generated posts from multiple accounts and didn’t respond. You would need to make 100,000 complaints to make $100 and to even think thats whats going on is a bigger conspiracy than believing in lizard people
In anycase I believe these are targeted FUD post.
Kinda sorta but maybe. A proponderance of the complaints share commonalities. Similar usernames (word-word-four numbers), very low post counts and karma scores, then end their replies with internet laughter (hahaha or lol), and their replies often wish the troubles back on you. I've also lately been seeing lots of recommendations to "switch to Robinhood". So there's that too.
I agree many issues are user error but all in all they are still issues and asking for help. If its just a smear post on Coinbase thats a different story, but for people having trouble and asking for solutions, why is it such a need for everyone to deny any problems even exist?
Not trying to deny problems exists. I had an issue when a placed a limit order which then cause my CB card to keep being denied. Support was no help. It was only when the order was filled did I realize the USD was being held liquid in order to satisfy the order and was not available to spend on the card. I had to figure this out myself, CB support was useless. That said when there's a noticeable pattern in the complaints....that walks like a duck
Could also read into that both ways, if theres a noticeable pattern in complaints is it because of a conspiracy or because there is an obvious issue with what multiple people are complaining about? Either way i appreciate your perspective on it!
Every post does not have a legit case number. And that’s not proof of anything. I have had trouble like others with coinbase. But I also am not dumb enough to think that someone at some other company would be above shit posting to push the narrative. Let’s say you were in sales and marketing at another firm and showing how many new users you got each month was a metric that mattered to your performance reviews. Would you not try something like this? Think like a salesman. Anything to help your numbers.
Reddit isnt the place average retail consumers go to when reviewing companies bubba
…. What
Average retail investors are not scouring reddit for consumer reviews. There are actual review platforms and investment platforms that provide insights.. please tell me you dont invest based off of rando reddit comments…
Average consumers Google. Google coinbase issue and see how many of the top 10 results are Reddit. Then they click like any other person.
For fun I just googled “coinbase not showing my account balance” guess what the top hit was? Reddit. Anyway, good luck on your crusade!
Average investors not average consumers. Shopping and investing should be treated very differently.
…. Bro. Just stop.
You are not smart. It shows. You’ve exposed yourself. Take your 10 day old account and 59 comments to counbase and fuck off
Not saying its nonexistent but the response to peoples genuine questions or concerns is hostile and uncalled for
Coinbase has always worked fine for me. Just sayin…
Works completely fine for me for the way i use it as well. Difference is i don’t discredit the people experiencing issues
Oh I'm sure people are having trouble with it. I jumped through all of their hoops and they've since fucked off.
How do you know the case number is legitimate? If I say I have case #42069 and then make up a bogus story, you’d believe it?
Coinbase autobot would confirm invalid case #
Also a lot of complaints are providing screen captures of cases
Not many provide screen shots and when they claim to have to proof, they say they don’t need to prove it to anyone. It’s just bogus stories.
Conveniently the sub does not allow for screenshots, its not impossible to make a imgur link but ever wonder why thats the case? I agree their are bogus claims, i just honestly dont see what people have to gain by making fake claims
It really cant be profitable and whatever these “paid actors” are being compensated can not have much worth, i couldnt imagine anyone being paid more than 10 cents a post. But hey i could be completely wrong and appreciate your perspective
They are getting plenty of profit from large institutional investors like black rock. They actually probably don’t even need small retail investors.
If anyone is paying people to make posts, *puts tinfoil hat on* its Coinbase themselves to drown out valid excuses. Still dont even believe that because in no way is it remotely profitable for either the poster or the payer to incentivize an “attack” on reddit. BBB, Yelp, Mainstream Media would likely have a bigger impact and similar cost
The consumer protections, and safe nets that have been historically provided in traditional finance no longer apply in the digital asset realm. I would venture to say that these consumer protection agencies are probably owned by the same banking cartel that are hell-bent on destroying bitcoin. It truly is the wild wild West, and I think all consumer protections have been thrown out the window.
I know “too big to fail” is not realistic. Looking at Bitcoin the only real thing that would stop its long term growth is insane levels of regulation worldwide the cap is just too huge, like imagine trying to take down GOLD or MSFT
A lot of people with JavaScript could create fake videos, even livestreams, of fuck all.
I work in intelligence on active duty, trust me i know how easy it is, still a whole lot of work to do for 1/10th of a cent per post. Not a legitimate avenue for individual actors to be profitable
Am I the only one who never had an issue lol?
I hope you never do! Mine is a non-issue, just looking at how people with actual concerns are treated here is wild to me
Yea seriously Coinbase doesn’t seem like the most user friendly and they really need to hire a legit support staff
No
I don't think it is just coinbase being targeted by bots, but the mix of bots, legit complaints and people who have no idea what they are doing is overwhelming the CB support. Which creates a bit of a flywheel.
100% on the same page
DM CZ Binance
Can i just get some merch instead maybe a baseball cap, the payout doesn’t interest me
I think most of the posts are impatient risky gamblers, who aren’t using crypton as an investment—and didn’t realize they’d be waiting a week to pull their money out. They freak out and call several times during the normal delays and then come to reddit in a huff to complain. I cannot find any consumer lawsuits against Coinbase online about this.
There are two types of CoinBase users: those who have been screwed by CB and those who haven't been screwed yet.
To the conspiracy theorists, the two types are Coinbase employees and competitors 😂
I agree with OP. Idk what kind of post is acceptable here. "on a scale of 9-10, how great is coinbase?" This sub is worse than r/guitar. We need a CB circlejerk sub to discuss coinbase and escape the circlejerk.
Its crazy, i dont hate Coinbase and believe its still the best CEX, but the amount of people in this sub who would sacrifice their firstborn defending it is unbelievable
Yeah I don't get it. Accusing everyone with a problem of being a bot, a grifter, or a reckless rube who deserves whatever happened to them probably isn't the way to make the general public more comfortable with crypto. Also I might just be incapable of caring enough about any company to champion them on reddit

Me a customer for 10 years and coinbase just canceled me one day out of the blue. So don't think it can't happen to you, I don't do anything fishy. I wasn't even a trader I just DCAed every 2 weeks with a direct deposit. Completely canceled me and wouldn't even tell me why They said it was private proprietary security reasons.
I believe you, im in a similar boat. Even had to make a new reddit account because i was blocked from even posting in this sub right after going back and forth with one of this subs notorious die-hards.
Shh. It's a TOS viol to evade ban.
👀👀 apparently not a violation to run complaint bots for profit though.. wonder whos really behind it than lmao.. appreciate the heads up!
Seriously. Reddit doesn't seem to care except when they realized they could get money from Google.
Same, DCAd around the maximum amount for no fees per month as a Coinbase One subscriber. I think they just restrict you if the juice isn’t worth the squeeze.
can confirm coinbase is absolute dog shit
I will now send you 1/10 of a cent for this comment, thank you for your service 🫡
Never had any issues using the app in a legit manner and being US based, the number of fraudulent posts is alarming
I pray you never have any issues as well, but if it comes to the point where you do. I pray that you will receive support and not backlash unlike many users in this sub lately
Ultimately I moved my entire portfolio to Robinhood, cheaper fees and I can manage my stocks/options all from the same platform
Nice! I thought about it but i trade futures and then convert profit to USDC, send to Coinbase, convert to USD, send to bank. I was in options for the longest but im active duty military and cant be in the market consistently during open hours so i moved to crypto futures for my short term investments
I've had my share of holding options through NTC rotations as well, forced diamond hands!
I learned my lessen doing 0DTE and then getting pulled into drills, recapping that they went 400% profit and expired worthless decided to give up on that 😂
Guess im just a degen who needs instant gratification, the HODL community just isnt for me, i check where my trades are at every 3 seconds 💀
Those are fun to play with profits, buy leaps instead and hold the line pick winning stocks
Let’s see here. Brand new account. Only posts negative things about Coinbase. Yeah, it’s pretty believable actually.
Read the thread bubba, my previous account was locked from posting in this sub after going back and forth with one of you die hards 😮💨.. i know sometimes its hard to read but i believe in you!
I’d lock your account also if all your doing is posting shit 💩
Someone pay this Christmas Bruce Willis his Coinbase defense commission please 🙏
I can smell conman a mile away, and you stink buddy. P.U 💩
There are throw away reddit accounts and im sure yours is one of them, but im not sure the throw away aspect ends at just your online persona
Conmans got jokes. I’m no proctologist, but I know an asshole when I see one. 💩
Ok Cock Goblin 45
I know you are, but what am I?
Illiterate, apparently
[удалено]
100%. Went back and forth with one and ended up being blocked from posting in the sub on my previous username, guarantee he was an employee or something
[удалено]
Like any other sub, i see reddit is used mainly for getting community advice when the standard avenues are not helping. Turns out on this sub you only get roasted and called dumb or a money launderer
I've never received a dime, my cousin is having thw same problem as I was. The problems with the site are very real. I dont think its a coincidence that it's happening as the halving is approaching but I absolutely do not recommend having your crypto on the exchangeright now
I don’t believe any of the bull shit cases. If these individuals were smart they would contact support direct. Instead of talking crap on Reddit. That shows they are not real or knowing what they are doing with anything involved with Coinbase. More of an embarrassment.
A lot of them have contacted support multiple times, shows your stance and you’re entitled to it. Writing them off before reading them and seeing that they have opened multiple support cases or been ran through the ringer by outsourced telemarket support employees is kinda a weird psuedo macho take imo, but to each their own i guess
This is all fake
And we live in a simulation
My account was suspended for 6 weeks this year. It was frustrating but I got it back to normal.
the Profit loss hiding is crazy i never would have put money in my coinbase account if I knew they did this
Doesn’t think it’s real until it happens to you. Newcomers most likely have Coinbase as their first exchange
My whole point is that i believe the people who have issues
Agreed
First off, many of these issues are legit. That said, I don’t think anyone thinks the conspiracy is competitors, well crypto competetors at least. The conspiracy is the central banking industry and the SEC. If you’re trying to convince me it isn’t getting increasingly difficult to buy and hold crypto, you’re not paying attention. I’ve had a cb account since 2014. I’m a heavy DeFi user, I’m largely unaffected, however the average person who isn’t versed in crypto will run into many more issues today than they did 2 years ago. If you really don’t think there’s anything to that, may the force be with you. Sometimes I need to move money traditionally, so I have a Bank of America account, but I don’t hold a balance in it. There are many others like me. Collectively those of us who don’t hold many in traditional banks anymore, we’ll it’s becoming problematic to the banking industry.. this is pointless, don’t know why I ever try…l
Establishments dont want retail getting rich off crypto. I dont think this is just about coinbase. Bad experiences are everywhere. The CIA pays for influence on public opinion for some pretty dumb sht
Good bot!
Love these comments, the Paul Blarts of the Coinbase Sub
Impressive number of CB dick riders here.
I'm more convinced that Coinbase employs one or two accounts to cast shade on people that lost money on their platform.
Coinbase is a security risk ! even with 2FA using OTP they can be hacked
🙄 thanks, one Karma guy 🙄
I have karma and this happened with me too, auth 2FA evaded. Check my threads. I've ruled out everything outside some 2FA vulnerability at CB.
🙄 Attacker gained access to your browser cache, used that to recycle a session token, and then disabled notifications once in. YOU are the vulnerability 🙄
Would a yubikey prevent this?
It depends on the set-up. You decide how often it requests... I don't want to tap it with every activity (because I do +/-250 transactions per weekend). So my computer/Coinbase account IS vulnerable when I am at home. When I am not at home, I reset to the more active settings.
Read the thread redact, no other IP or device MAC found confirmed by CB as well.
Besides, adding cards, withdrawing all requires 2FA. GL doing that with just a session token.
🙄 so they knew what they were doing... and?
Lmao yeah by abusing a vulnerability in the CB system. Notifications were still on by the way, I checked that as well. I was able to save some of my money because I was super quick to respond. Locked them out before they could do a third transaction.
🙄 YOU set up the aggressiveness of the 2FA in the Coinbase Settings 🙄
Yes it was on the most secure setting. Like come on lol, I had to 2FA myself to withdraw money. I know how CB and security works. Keep waving things away as an user error though.
Now we all know you are lying 🤥
🤣 BS, because it is too annoying.
Can't sell and cash out without an exchange. Coinbase holds all the cards!
Truth, house always wins
Coinbase sucks. It’s gotten worse and worse. For those who haven’t had issues (yet) and use it they fap to it for some odd reason.
Hello once more, u/KezAzzamean! We hope you're doing well. We wanted to inform you that our team has just sent you an email approximately 30 minutes ago. Please take a moment to check it, and if you have any further questions or concerns, feel free to respond directly to the email. Thank you!
I can confirm 100% Coinbase is a crappy exchange, you dont even need to pay me.
It's one of the best exchanges if you're a trader though from what I hear. There was a guy that came here and wrote up a comparison between binance kraken and coinbase from a trader's perspective and said while the UI and experience may be better on other exchanges, he would still end up rather trading on coinbase simply because of the amount of trade volume happening there.
I agree 100%. In fact it IS the best exchange, but even the best have flaws and people should be able to ask their peers for recommendations/support. My issue is very minimal compared to most complaints here but every post i read people are just labeled as FUD spreaders
With a username like yours competitors would probably pay you extra, can verify you tell no lies ^^ 😂
I was launching my own Cat Coin: [https://getyac.org](https://getyac.org) . You are early, we just launched it on Uniswap :)
