Cryptocurrency, who has it?

Coinbase seems to have a lot of issues, frequently.

I was going to begin with some small purchases but after three tries to validate my debit card, that failed on their end, I gave up. No customer service, no response to Twitter.

Does not give me a good feeling especially when they cannot clear trades for hours or days.

I still have the account but there is no money because I could not put any in. Perhaps someday if they get their operation working, likely after government regulation, then it will function more like a true exchange.

I will stick to making money in my Schwab account where I can actually get things done.

Brian,

How long ago was this issue? I was able to transfer money last week from my bank account and I was able to do bank wire within 6-8 hours large amount was deposited in my gdax account which is part of coinbase. I have friends telling their large orders are filled within seconds to minutes ...

site was constantly down during large price swings of BTC, said they couldn’t handle the traffic, couldn’t login, then later could login but couldn’t make any buys or sells, it got really buggy and started to not trust my money there.

yes, exactly! That’s how I felt. Also if you look on reddit there are some horror stories of coinbase not returning users deposits and other customer service issues. But honestly i think all crypto exchanges have been having their own issues, not just coinbase.

The massive influx of new accounts has resulted in numerous problems. Something to keep in mind though, Coinbase and GDAX are pushing near 15 million users. They work fine for most. I’ve had no problems moving money in, buying, moving crypto out, or selling and sending money back to my bank.

Some Reddit posted problems end up being the user’s fault rather than a technical issue. Downtimes last spring were terrible. They’ve actually improved a lot since then.

Customer service response times are truly horrible though. They need to greatly increase staffing. FWIW, anyone interested should consider GDAX rather than just buying through Coinbase. GDAX is owned by Coinbase. Cheaper and more advanced.

For the forumites who are active in the crypto scene, I'm curious if there's been any chatter about CashBet and their CashBet Coin ICO?

*** full disclosure - I'm an early angel investor in CashBet, and ICOs were not a thing when I originally invested in 2012. ***

Please don't advertise on this thread. I understand this is an advertising technique a lot of companies are using as "marketing strategy" but to keep this thread informational we don't need direct links to anything.

Let people do their own research

This was in the last two weeks, followed Coinbase instructions, Coinbase failed to validate the card so I gave up.

Not a good experience.

I wonder if the issues are similar with bank accounts.

[armen34]

I did end up buying a quarter position of LTC last night @ 230

[worldfamoussam]

I don't have the stomach to invest in fake money.

[matthewk]

I picked up some more

Neither do I but I'm just trading for quick gains on bounces.

What did you buy at what price and why now? Still no confirmation on the uptrend.

Crypto is getting slammed today.

[Syed117]

The sky is falling!

[Etschell]

bought more at the lows (for now). binance had great arbitrage that let me buy lower than gdax.

[Laszlo]

I’m buying the dip at $1000.

I'd say btc @ 8-9000 and ETH @ 850-900 is money buys.

Here is a nice call that I can see happening

30-40% dip after 1000%+ gains is fine with me ;)

[armen34]

I did flip some LTC after buying at 230 yesterday 1/4 position, I bought 1/2 position at 151 and sold some at 184 and the rest at 213... scary 24 hours but in turn made a nice quick profit.

Coinbase validated my bank account just fine.

The recommend a debit card for small purchases so that is what I tried to do.

Common sense tells me they don't want small purchases so they refuse to validate.

You have been riding this wave for a bit though it seems. Many here do not have 1000% gains to pad their position.

[Ballzzz]

Buy buy buy!!!

[armen34]

I bought several times this morning made 10%+ in a couple hours

Will wait for the next dip
