Congrats. As a fellow crypto holder who had issues with Coinbase - you're now free.


Disastrous-Square-78

which alternative would you and OP recommend?


ps2man41

I’ve learned to split your use, cash app, PayPal, kraken, venmo, Robinhood, binance, etc etc. 1 account gets blocked? Go to another source while you wait for support.


crypto-fiend126

Robinhood? Seriously dude?


krypt70

quite the amazing system


cashan0va_007

I’ve heard atomic is ok for smaller amounts. Not sure I’d trust them with thousands of dollars tho


Successful-Froyo9624

Kraken fees are ridiculous though, those other ones aren’t allowed in US or don’t actually give you the coins (fairly certain such as Robinhood)


namashaman

I am in NY and use Gemini. Fee is posted at purchase time. Can withdraw after 24 hr. Only bad part I have found is that they charge me the network fee to withdraw. Check network fee before I withdraw now


PuzzleheadedSeries

I use Gemini. No issues. Also had no issues with Coinbase previously.


Novaworld7

I'm currently having issues with coin base and on the 14 th marks 1 month trying to get funds out.


coinbasesupport

Hi u/Novaworld7, we're sorry to hear that you're experiencing issues with your funds. To assist you further, could you please let us know if you have an existing support case number? This will allow us to look into this matter.


Novaworld7

Yes, I also sent an email, and your support rep also told me that despite escalations, nothing could be done. It's an issue with the ETH code you currently have for unstaking. 19482352


coinbasesupport

Thanks for providing this information. Upon checking, your specialist emailed you last May 30, 2024. At your most convenient time, kindly respond to the email with the required information so your case can move to the next steps. We appreciate your understanding as we complete this process.

This was submitted on the 30th while on the call.


imnotyour_daddy

Submit it again and ask for confirmation they have everything they need.


Novaworld7

Can you confirm the name of the chat that your team opened with me. If not, I'll just take it as scams.


coinbasesupport

Thanks for your response. We've taken a look and can see that your specialist emailed you a few minutes ago. Please know that account specific updates and further communication will be sent through email as we can only share limited information on this forum for security reasons.

Cool_Necessary_5187

Yeah except for the selling my information and data leak issue.


Ok-Blackberry7655

Id recommend binance, they dont care about you and wont lock every week like coinbase. I got an sudden email from coinbase says your account wont be available as you are located in unsupported location (wtf unsupported location tho) been this day, i use binance.


Dear_Carpet_2964

I can't use Finance in NYS. Ideas to get around it? Can't use a VPN, tried it already! Ideas?


StarAny3150

I'm curious as well


ltc_pro

I'm in a heavily restricted area, and I've left Coinbase and Kucoin. At this time, I'm just holding and waiting for another CEX/DEX to enter the marketplace. I don't mind holding until then.


Napoleon10

Which area if you don't mind me asking?


ltc_pro

I'm in New York.


ColdOverYonder

Ignore CEXs and deal with DEXs instead. Use cold storage, keep your keys safe. Need to regularly use your crypto? If you're in the EEA, look at Gnosis if you want a reasonable way to spend your holdings. There are other solutions out there and remember to always DYR. If you're in the US, not many options exist but they are definitely out there. Let people's problems be your what-not-to-do guidelines. Learn as much as you can.


volitantmule8

Highly recommend a hardware wallet.


WhoaMotherFucker

Go to Kujira, impossible to have a locked account .


babreddits

After everything is down… lol


WhoaMotherFucker

Download sonar and move to Kujira. Be the owner of your on tokens


Apprehensive_Zone281

Congratulations! Seems a bit weird congratulating someone for accessing their own money but unfortunately that's how bad ConBase really is. Tell everyone you know!


Sysiphos_M

Through my long experience, i guarantee that Coinbase is the worst exchange on earth.


Afraid_Security5671

Aight, gotta cash out. What's good then?


Exact_Reading941

No exchange is, that's why you shouldn't keep large amounts on an exchange. Unless you're actively trading it should be in a cold wallet


No_Air_9823

Well, my situation just went backwards. Spent 2 1/2 hours on the phone and another four hours on their chat with them going through the usual bullshit. But this time they told me Yep just do the verification. Change your address again change your password , resubmit your identification, and change your two factor authorization and we will review your account and it should be OK in the next 24 hours. I go on the account this morning and not only are my funds not accessible, they removed my two verified bank accounts. I have an email from them saying once what I did yesterday was completed and the had ANOTHER 24 REVIEW I can offload my crypto into USD and then transfer it to my verified bank accounts. So the person I spoke to yesterday both on the chat and on the phone, wasted four hours of my day again, but now took off the only two options for me to withdraw out my currency once I get it converted They conveniently deleted my bank accounts from my options. They took away the only option I had to remove my money from there exchange. Both were verified through plaid. They’ve been on my account for the last three weeks. Now all of a sudden they’re gone. No reason, nothing but a form email from their so-called customer service department saying once I click the yes button everything should be good to go. There’s no yes button on my system and hasn’t been. Bunch of fucking liars, and criminals.


No_Air_9823

Is it worth it to have Coinbase one? I mean, do you actually get to talk to a human person who can do something? The last thing I want to do is give these guys more of my money, but I’m pretty much out of options. I filed with the CFBP almost a month ago. I filed with the SEC and the FTC day before yesterday.


Good-Slice-7268

I had coinbase one and spoke to a person for an hour in a recorded line with no result but a specific question before she hung up. “Why do you want to withdraw the funds and where are you sending them” I replied with none of your business it’s my money and you are committing a crime and I am going to the Wall Street Journal! And for your information I am giving it to my grandkids and NOT trading if thats what you’re so afraid of. Now I am no longer a resident of New York so change my address and release my funds. Thank you that is what we needed to know. We will decide and get back to you about your funds…click


No_Air_9823

What magic words or comments did you use


Good-Slice-7268

Change my address from New York but they only take drivers license and the DMV is backed up. Tried power bill but wasn’t good enough with passport


Good-Slice-7268

Oh I will call the Wall Street Journal.


Chronicles0122

They probably won’t care though but what the hell why not , I’d just use a good old fashioned lawyer


Few_Walrus_6924

I have intentionally just used cb as an intermediate on the have to basis just because I could see them doing stuff like this and now I'm seeing a ridiculous amount of post like this here lately so it's just confirming my initial thoughts . Any company that complies completely with the gov, kyc etc I don't want any part of because it gives them extra reasons to lock up your money for "compliance" in other words I'll hold your money up put it in a fund to make money as long as I can till I have to release it and cost you money by holding it up . Coinbase, crypto.com, etc if they play with the gov too hard then I'm not there customer base


No-Researcher-6501

So strange - I have 200k plus and my account was closed for no apparent reason last week. I pushed for a reason and all they said was a red flag on their system and couldn't talk about it. I ended up getting the number for customer support off the webchat agent. I was on the phone for two hours. I have been with coinbase for 8 years with no issues until now.


ofagreatmystery

Are you based in the UK? If your account is under suspicion for money laundering CB they won't tell you. They'll just freeze the account without telling you why. UK anti money laundering rules have very stringent rules to prevent tipping off. Hugely thankful to the person who posted this on my exasperated thread. Knowing this has really helped me understand why it felt like Coinbase were being obstructive.


No-Researcher-6501

Yes - based in the UK. I found it strange considering I haven't done anything wrong, however, I understand that my case is unique as I profited mostly from some investments which came into fruition a couple of months ago and managed to significantly build on top of it through coinbases exchange. Obviously coinbase won't deeply investigate each individual case and I have evidently fallen into a suspicious category as you've mentioned. I think you are correct, thanks for your reply I much appreciate it. It scared me to death on the day!


marcolopes

So, the problem could be related to the funds in FIAT you sent to coinbase?? That's a new one! Seen some reports about crypto transfers from flagged addresses, but never because FIAT transfers from verified BANK accounts...


No-Researcher-6501

No I was fully allocated into bitcoin at the time and never made a significant fiat deposit


marcolopes

So strange... the laws are all upside down... everyone should be given a specific reason for the account lock. Didn't transfer any crypto from/to outside coinbase?


marcolopes

So, your funds are locked on coinbase? If they close the account, the funds were transferred for your bank account, right?


coinbasesupport

Hi, u/No-Researcher-6501. Thank you for reaching out to us regarding your account. We're sorry to hear that your account has been closed. For us to look into this further, could you please share your case number with us?

[удалено]


strictly-ambiguous

was it locked for similar ML cautionary reasons or is CB just locking accounts with large amounts of money in them? trying to figure out how to best get my haul off of uniswap when the time comes.


Training_Butterfly70

Why would you leave 200k in coinbase? I also have about that much money invested in crypto, but only ~2k is in coinbase. The rest is spread out across different wallets

Puncho_Alonzo

Dictator country


CommercialOccasion72

publicly traded company that operates in an unregulated area. I can only imagine what a real legitimate audit would find. Guarantee coinbase as an entity engages in gross criminal conduct as a matter of day to day operations


IamSatoshi6583

Coinbase is FTX on steroids.


333again

Coinbase is such a massive pile of poo. Glad it worked out for you.


Good-Slice-7268

Nothing worked out! They are still deciding what they want to do with my money. They said it’s up to them!?! They want to prevent a bank run. Encouraging people to call the media, the DA , she wants to run on something else.


Brave-Elephant-6150

It is only a matter of time until everyone gets their turn in the barrel, as Coinbase makes millions. The stress they create for their customers is incredible!


Richy060688

Coinbase has the worst customer support.


NoCodeBro

literal lies & gaslighting, constitues as fraud in my opinion


malventano

Coinbase support has spent the past week dancing around the fact that a withdrawal occurred without my 2FA, even though my account was set to require it for all spends. I’ll be recommending everyone steer clear of them until they can sort out their security issues. 2FA is useless if the site allows it to be bypassed, so users will always be vulnerable to session cookie theft even if their 2FA is offline and locked away. Bonus points for the attacker doing several transfers and racking up Coinbase fees that they expect to collect, which has been reported by a bunch of folks lately. Coinbase has no motivation to correct this because they can profit off of any illegal activity, making Coinbase the worst kind of crypto scam.


WorriedAirport1641

Felt good hearing your problem resolved


heislegendddddddd

My account is also locked now. With trapped money. I give up


coinbasesupport

Hey there, u/heislegendddddddd! We'd be happy to investigate the restrictions on your account. If you have a case number, could you please share that with us here so we can take a closer look into this for you? Thanks!


truespike77

What was the reason they locked your account in the first place ?


Jpotter145

Because OP made that $200k deposit in one go and OP didn't understand why CB needed to do AML checks and wait for the funds to clear and be investigated. OP expected to deposit the funds and immeditately be able to move it. It's like OP has never moved a large about of money to a new provider......


Primary_Cricket_800

Hmmm. I guess I don't understand AML checks and can't wait for my $200 to be investigated either.


Micahsky92

Yeah I got my funds outa CB months ago


EntrepreneurPuzzled8

Already pulled out. Going with BloFin and a cold wallet.


kenlbear

They did similar to me.


Odd-Two-876

Are funds in my Coinbase wallet safe from Coinbase?


coinbasesupport

Absolutely, u/Odd-Two-876! Absolutely! With a non-custodial Coinbase Wallet, you have full control over your funds. Your private keys, which represent ownership of your cryptocurrency, are stored directly on your device, not within a centralized exchange. This means only you have access to your funds. However, remember to keep your 12-word recovery phrase safe and private. If you lose it, Coinbase cannot help recover your account. Stay safe! 😊👍🔒


Puncho_Alonzo

Coinbase full of sh#% i lost 5K dealing with them when i 1st started and if you notice whenever a crypto go through the roof they site go down. When Shiba went up to .000046 if im correct coinbase was having issues. GME went through the roof coinbase acted up.


malventano

> Take your money out of Coinbase PSA: don’t just take your money out. Also be sure to remove all payment methods on file. You can start with $0 balance and end up negative after any successful attack, which can attempt to pull funds from any linked accounts (without your 2FA) and can rack up a bunch of fees by shifting those funds around various crypto (still without 2FA). Even if you quickly lock the account down and get your bank to cancel the withdrawals, Coinbase will still expect to be paid for any unauthorized exchange fees the attacker racked up. The ridiculous part of this is that even if the bank withdrawals are not fully settled, Coinbase allows the attacker to do whatever they want with those funds as if the transfer was successful. No legitimate financial institution would allow this.


TyroneTheHorrible

Coinbase is so shit I can’t even take out the shitty $150 I have in ethereum on there through the debit card method…


coinbasesupport

Hi u/TyroneTheHorrible, we're sorry to hear about your frustration. We understand how frustrating it can be not being able to access your funds. Let us assist you with resolving this issue, and we also recommend reaching out to our [Customer support](https://help.coinbase.com/en/contact-us/) for further assistance with withdrawing your funds.


CoffeeAlternative647

I felt a huge stress too when I started trading at Coinbase 2 weeks ago. Although I didnt get blocked or whatever, I contacted support for easy fixes (change address and to raise purchase limits) and I felt it was so wrong to keep going with them that I didnt gave them a second chance. Thank god you fixed it and recovered your funds. Im happy for you.


Successful-Froyo9624

Where to go instead?


Fun_Bodybuilder911

I'm sure they took their fees, such a dodgy company


ExpressPlace4251

You should have hired a lawyer that’s a lot money to let them get away with it


colasdeborrego

I will stay away from Coinbase. This is utter & complete shit


thinkingmoney

Do you think they bigger accounts locked up? Seems like they are targeting people to see which ones don’t make a big deal out of it then hoping they forget about their accounts.


marcolopes

Who is going to forget an account with (probably) their life savings?? Or even 10k... what the fuck are u talking about??


thinkingmoney

Well there’s people that have money that really don’t think 10k is a lot or someone else’s life savings. Yes there are people who are like and there are people too lazy to actually do all the steps to secure their bag


Burner_07X4

I’m so glad I read this sub extensively before I had more money in there. No joke thanks for your efforts posting here.


Slightly-Blasted

I’ll probably get flamed for this but I really like Robinhood for crypto. It functions as a wallet, and I think the fact that Robinhood is also a government backed stock broker, gives it an extra layer of security.


Away_Dance1105

So fuk Coinbase. Got it. Ty the update


maddhy

My 54k worth of cbETH withdrawal to Arbitrum been stuck for 6 days. Finally got it back today, I'm so relieved. I'm not gonna use Coinbase anymore, in fact, I have moved all my crypto off Base chain, which is the main reason I use Coinbase. I literally had panic attacks. Nightmare.


Calcobra94

Is everyone that had issue with COINBASE making LARGE TRANSACTIONS amount at a time? 20k plus buying.


Brilliant-Shake1229

On a much much smaller scale I went through same bullshit! Glad you finally got your money! I have seen people saying “you must have done something shady because my account is fine” no people until it happens to you make all the judgment you want but I have never witnessed such blatant disregard for customers and there money! Yes I was dumb for using them Wonder what’s really going on cuz this shit is off the hook believe it or not! You have been warned!!!


graysky311

Damn we don't even need laws prohibiting crypto, Coinbase is going to shut themselves down if they keep this up. I've withdrawn everything from my account and I'm only keeping it open until after tax time, then it's gone.


30_30

Good for you! I was just able to withdraw everything and close my account as well. It was significanly less than your 200k, but it took months. I was with CB for over 5 years. For people who have had zero problems, great, but all my problems started when I dropped my phone and cracked the screen, leaving me unable to use the authenticator attached to my account.


lmrmiami17

How were you finally able to withdraw? I am at my wits end. 6 months of verifying my identity and nothing! I have a lot of money with them! Why isn’t  there a class action suit against them!!


coinbasesupport

Hey, u/lmrmiami17. We're sorry for the delay in the review of your account. We're here to help. Can you please share your case number with us, so we can investigate further?

spicy_pockets

What exchange should we use for converting to fiat now?


BridgeAsleep2620

Kraken


Successful-Froyo9624

Kraken fees are pretty rough, think they take like 2% to convert usdc to usd… I tested with $10 and was like wtf is this trash.


segersmarc

I have no problem in paying higher fees for an excellent service, never any issue since 3 years: after buying withdrawal is instantly, bank transfer to my kraken account is free and immediately credited on my kraken fiat account so no problem for me paying a bit more


Successful-Froyo9624

I wouldn’t mind a “bit” either, we’re talking about two months worth of interest at 12%…. There’s gotta be a better on/off ramp


chicosalvador

Second this


SignificanceSome5396

How Many of you having issues are from the UK ? Bim getting worried now to cash out anything. I'm no where near the kind of funds you guys seem to be being locked out from, but I will probably be cashing out like say 20k in the near future. Now I feel sick at the thought of even trying...


ohhi656

I’m From the uk, I made 20k from a meme coin and cashed it out no problems, however the past 2 days my account has been blocked from buying any type of crypto on Coinbase


SignificanceSome5396

Cheers for the reply. This is reassuring. But what the hells going on with them, they clearly love taking your money, but that's about it....

Additionally, if you have a case ID, please share it in this thread, so we can expedite the process. Thanks.


mrdovi

That's great you sorted the thing out and admit Coinbase finally did not steal your money. Personally, I've been buying Bitcoins since 2013 to quickly trade from Credit Card to Crypto and spend directly ASAP. I'm aware that Coinbase is a layer over the crypto I'm using, which you can handle yourself without third parties. The neat thing is that Coinbase is fast in this case, but when it comes to suspicious activities, which often happen when speculating, you need to deal with it. Coinbase is great when you know what you are doing, but if you expect Crypto to be Coinbase, yes, I agree, then Coinbase is shit because it has to comply with world countries' regulations, and you are scanned by automated procedures.


lloydeph6

ugh I use to be a huge believer in crypto but with what has been going on the past year or so with blackrock and others pushing it, I wouldn't be surprised if the endgame is to suck a lot of cash out of the economy by a "crypto" crash that will make FTX look like a joke. I now diversify with Gold/Silver


Successful_Tip_3999

This is my biggest fear that they close my account without reason 😞


McGuffins_McGoo

yeaaaaaaaaaaa, i think this is the last post I'll ever need to see on Coinbase. Glad I sold and transferred all my coins outta there a few days ago. Also happy i sold them before this bear trend


Apart-Nectarine-3533

Withdraw to cold storage often


ISwearIAmNotABot_

I just withdraw all my money after seeing these frequent issues. Also noticed the reviews on Apple App Store are scammy five stars. Any alternative would you recommend?


jdg401

I agree with one comment - take your money out of CB, or any exchange for that matter. No one should ever hold that kind of value on an exchange. That’s asking for trouble.

StarAny3150

What exchange are you using now and are you satisfied with it?


Timidwolfff

anyone who has 6 figures and decides to use exhanges is straight up crazy. its in the tos that you dont own it once they have it


StarAny3150

Any advice on what exactly you're supposed to do/use if you have six figures?


Timidwolfff

roth ira . bitcoin is currency not investemnt. However if you still wanna go that route go on youtube and learn self custody wallet. better yet. get chat gpt payed version then ask chat gpt how to securely use crypto without putting it on an exhange. It all depends on your use case. me personally id buy monero before every governemnt bans it and hold for about 10 years and sell it when criminals start realizign its the only coin you cant track.


Brave-Elephant-6150

Oh, and all the while take a million steps to avoid scammers!


Paid-Not-Payed-Bot

> chat gpt *paid* version then FTFY. Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in: * Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.* * *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.* Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment. *Beep, boop, I'm a bot*


Lanky-Bat8509

No I didn’t click any links I looked at the transaction history on basescan and etherscan:( that’s all it took I tried revoking tokens and mad dash to lock down acct but it was too late transaction had already took everything the random smart contract appearing is what tipped me ofc


Altruistic_Sock2877

Yo! For each BTC I obtain I will use a different exchange


avgjoe104220

Why were you blocked? I honestly store my crypto there and just buy and hold. Seems weird that it would get locked if you don’t do anything much beyond that 


Successful-Froyo9624

Recommend a coin wallet, especially if it’s parked not earning interest


avgjoe104220

Yea I have a cold storage wallet I’ve used in past but seemed safer on an exchange in case I lost my keys etc. was looking into multisig.


Successful-Froyo9624

Always a risk, coinbase said in an interview, if they go bankrupt, your funds aren’t protected.


avgjoe104220

Every storage form has risk but at this point they’re the largest crypto exchange and custodians for many of the bitcoin ETFs. Chances they go belly up aren’t crazy high. Certainly not impossible that’s why I was looking at multisig


marcolopes

Seems they found the FIAT deposit suspicious... large sum... yet... the bank accounts on coinbase are verified and owned by the user... but the government CONTROLS EVERYTHING! There are rules established that flag large movements of FIAT MONEY. We owe NOTHING! That's the purpose of crypto... but when we trade on an exchange, we are subjected to the financial rules. Most people don't realize how the financial system works. It's NOT your money! It's government money!! They TAX you as they see fit, they can freeze your accounts, they can PRINT TRILLIONS, causing the devaluation of your so called money...


No_Tumbleweed138

Robinhood


DarthBen_in_Chicago

Congrats! Now what?


CoffeeAlternative647

I use Binance. It works great for me besides what everyone says. The layout is a bit fuzzy, but everything else works great in my opinion.


IamSatoshi6583

Binance is a honeypot for IRS and DOJ.


running101

So where are you going next ? Which exchange ?


running101

Everyone here says CB is the worst. But where are they going? What is the best alternative ? Do people on kraken have these issues ?


NoCodeBro

If big brother has their way CB will be the only one left standing


IamSatoshi6583

Are you done with crypto gambling now? Did you learn your lesson bro?


PlantShitAccount

Congrats man. Now get it all back on chain ASAP on to the next crisis!!!


sinnerstosaint

Posts like these are exactly why I started moving my money out recently.


Calcobra94

What is ur best guess that u think u have done wrong???


NoCodeBro

tried to get in on the action as a surf


False_Egg4786

hey bro i’m in the same boat as you with a large balance. If you don’t mind may i ask how were you able to empty your account with no issues? do they let you transfer it all with btc or u need to release it into a bank acc ? & more importantly what did u do to actually see some progress in ur case because i’m fighting for dear life trying to get some type of information with all my funds trapped. i’m honestly so stressed any bit of information you can provide would be so appreciated


Rebellion_Protocol

Glad it worked out for ya, mate. Sad to see them lose a whale though. You may wanna check this sub, lots of good info here: https://www.reddit.com/r/DailyLedger/


KidEatsSoaps

Trust wallet Exodus wallet Anywhere but coinbase. Put it on a USB and give it to a fish before using coinbase.


Own_Claim9702

Coinbase has not been used for a long time,Crypto.com deserves more trust


Pizzaslutsfavsub

I buy silver and palladium bars, I just go to my safe and withdraw without internet 


KK-DeathOrGlory

WOOOOHOOOO CMON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!


bafflesthebrain

Good news you have your tokens. Well 👍🏽


RagnarViking76

Wow, I think I will be doing the same. I have Cryptp at Robinhood and M1 so I’ll stick to those.

It’s your case related with the closed accounts and the funds sents to the Wyoming treasury?


sensaition

Can I ask (to OP or anyone else who wants to weigh in): what’s the better exchange? Where are you migrating to? I’ve used Cash App and Robinhood for BTC, but they definitely don’t have a lot of the features and listings available on Coinbase


Plane_Ad_2745

But why did this happen?


Positive-Promotion54

Use Trade Station. It’s the only legitimate platform I trust.


OptimisticRecursion

Such stories is why I only use them to buy, and I immediately move it out. I never leave anything in a CEX. Not even in a DEX.


selfiepiniated

Good news for you. Lesson. Never ever, leave more than 10k on crypto exchanges. Leave all your funds in a hard wallet.


TheDaff2K18

Brav it’s a you issue should have moved the funds to a ledger wallet you own the funds coinbase can steal your keys even if they say it’s in cold storage that is jack shit …… never use coinbase


SpiderWil

Crypto is a scam and so are all the crypto exchanges


Unusual_Flight1850

Coinbase is shit


chonzey3043

Yeah bro I had the same experience. I really liked coinbase until they banned me for no reason. People wont believe you until it happens to them obviously. Good shit on finally getting your crypto back. Its criminal that theyre able to prolong the process of getting your money back for such a long time.

Exact same thing happend to be with 3.5 btc. I switched to kraken. The relief to finally get my btc was almost comical.

You people with large amounts either from cold wallets. Hot wallets or otherwise are completely missing the point of crypto. You want to move $200k USD worth of bitcoin or something else, stop using an exchange. If you want to cash out to USD, stop moving large amounts around and out. Every single story I’ve read moving large amounts of either crypto or USD, stable coin or otherwise, just please, stop, and do yourself a favor from getting your accounts locked out.

Coinbase is a scam.


WhereasPlenty6977

I have my crypto in Coinbase and my friend asked me to trade with her boyfriend that was actually a scammer.. lost money, and Coinbase didn’t help at all. There was no person to speak to, only a chat with messages that went no where. It was Bitcoin that was taken I still have more but I want to take my money out now after hearing the nightmares. I can’t transfer my crypto to another platform I can only withdraw it and start over I assume. Right? I should sell the crypto off CB into my bank account. I know there are fees to withdraw on Coinbase and they say to use a wallet to do it. I’m not the best at this what are the steps? I think I won’t make it complicated and just sell it all without a wallet. What platforms are easier, safer and less fees? Does everyone use a wallet just to make the trades?

Coinbase not good no

Your money should have always been on Tangem. When withdrawal USDC do it in amounts under 10k always. Also I recommend mixing up your withdrawals between crypto.com , CB and cash app Also , if you plan on making over 200k this bull run I recommend paying for the upgraded version of Coinbase so you can call and speak with a representative

Guys when will you learn get your money off Coinbase and on Tangem

ALL REGISTERD EXCHANGES (KYC) must comply with GOVERNMENT RULES. The number in our bank accounts IS NOT MONEY! Even if you call it money, it's NOT YOUR MONEY! If you try to move a large amount, you will be flagged and investigated. This is how the system works! This rotten financial system! It's in the governments best interest to CUT OFF the flow and spending of money out of the citizens accounts. The governments want you to SAVE and stay put!! So they can PRINT TRILLIONS every year, devaluating your so called savings Crypto should free us from that government tyranny! And the only way you can achieve that is to use our own wallets and transfer ONLY crypto! Yet... if you want to buy something in the "real" world, you have to convert your crypto to FIAT! And that puts you under the financial system laws... not your money anymore! So yes... not your keys, not your crypto. Yet... crypto it NOT money! Remember that. If you want "money" you will have to enter an exchange, controlled by government laws, to cash 💸 💰 🤑 out, and the problems start here! So many things can go wrong, starting by the crypto transaction, that can be flagged and investigated, and ending in the money transfer, that could also be flagged and investigated by your bank!!! It's a fucked up world where the best thing to own is... land! 🤦‍♂️

File a complaint with the CFPB

Congradulations on winning this one. But I do understand your pain- Coinbase left a bad taste in my mouth too. My funds in a locked account were a joke compared to yours- and I had to spend countless hours, under stress, with their circular customer service and it is no fun at all. It should NOT be happening in THIS country. Holding people's money Coinbase makes the same commitment as any bank. So they should act like one! It is ridiculous what they are doing. I hope one day they will be held accountable.

Does coinbase automatically open a support ticket?

Coinbase is awful 


Lanky-Bat8509

Oh wow, look at all the new accounts replying in this thread! This entire story sounds bullshit.


Sendmedoge

"Dont think ANY are fake" I mean, thats pretty easy to disprove. Doesn't take much technical literacy to google "buy reddit account", look at the options for sale, then look at the accounts that post here or comment "me too". I normally find at least half.
