Does anyone have experience with Coinbase support? I've used coinbase for years, more recently Coinbase Pro but they recently closed that product and moved all my crypto back to Coinbase.
Problem is, I can no longer send any crypto, I bought a hardware wallet and I was planning on transferring it all to it in light of FTX and rumors of Binance being in trouble, but they throw up some bullshit generic message about being 'unable' to send and to contacting support. I contact support and they had me verify my identity with my drivers license (again), and then said to wait for support to email me back but the whole thing is worrying me a bit. Their automated process claims my ID is successfully verified but it still doesn't work, so they escalated it to someone else and now I"m just waiting and hoping they actually fix it.
I did sell a small fraction of ETH I've had and it seems to be successfully sending the USD to my bank account so maybe worst case I can do that with the rest.

I have a lingering 5-10k in both Binance.US and Nexo. Which given recent events is not ideal. I thought about pulling it all out and I’m sure I’ll be eating crow in a year, but it’s not a significant portion of my assets so I figure, fuck it, let it ride. It’s basically a btw/eth swap system where once a week I gain small fractions of both coins.
I still have faith in crypto as a concept but clearly only btc or maybe eth will survive this shift and most of crypto is shitcoin, which is basically an unregulated Penny stock if you want to simply it. I’m not confident enough to dump my life saving in it, but I’ve got maybe 50k scattered in various exchanges and cold wallets. I do think btc will survive this and find a purpose. im looking at it like a bonus 401k, so fuck it, let’s go.

Heard rumors of multiple $5bn BTC purchases over the weekend via on-chain analysis. I haven't seen any proof that though, nor any proof that a large sum was sent to an unknown wallet from an exchange, or from one large wallet to another. Granted this sort of transaction could be done with multiple smaller transactions... but I haven't seen any proof of that as of right now.

Fox News host credits Bitcoin pump to ransomware hackers
Fox News host Tucker Carlson theorized that recent bullish market moves were due to the U.S. government buying Bitcoin to pay ransomware attackers. Specifically, Carlson linked the recent grounding of flights by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to a cyber attack, postulating that...

A lot of regulation is coming. Expect plenty of 'events' to rationalize and popularize this regulation. Plenty of people are going to get rugged, alts will be at fault, but Bitcoin will be blamed. There are no good faith arguments for lumping Bitcoin and centralized scam coins together, but that's the play we're gunna see IMO.Can't wait to see how they screw this up.

Maybe. If so enjoy your Fedcoin reality. Boy I hope I don't lose all my protein credits for fanboying Bitcoin on the internet.

I'm cashing out all my crypto from coinbase at a pretty big loss overall, well like 20% down from what I paid I think. They won't let me withdraw crypto but will let me sell and send the USD back to my bank account, their ID verification system is broken and their chat support is useless. Better this week than last though.
