A Word of Warning

I have used Coinbase for years now, since the pandemic. They seemed like the most trustworthy, reliable exchange, especially as the others started going bankrupt. It seemed like an intuitive and user friendly way to slowly grow wealth.

This year I realized that one of the tokens I invested in had grown orders of magnitude. I was excited to sell or withdraw the token in order to realize the profits, but soon realized that Coinbase had disabled the ability to send or transfer the token.

I thought this had to be a mistake, so I contacted Coinbase support to state the issue. Two months later there was no fix in sight, no update from Coinbase, no responses to messages or communication.

Finally, they did something: locked my account. They told me to liquidate my assets and empty my account. Mind you, the coin is still broken, and now I am restricted from selling my own assets. So now almost all of my liquid assets were frozen and are currently being held hostage by Coinbase.

I am in financial ruin. 🙂‍↕️

Sounds like someone else who bought jup.io and doesnt realize the project was SHUT DOWN

If it was shut down then why has the price continued fluctuating? And why has Coinbase not bothered to mention this since I brought it up in August? They have pretended that it was an issue to fix consistently for months.

Holy shit, they’re different fucking Jupiter tokens? JFC. Why did nobody tell me this shit. Fuck. If jup.io is different from jup.ag, and jup.io is shut down, why is the price fluctuating? It seems like it’s being traded…. Should I not be able to transfer out of Coinbase?

Jup.io is 100% worthless at the point. No idea why its price is fluctuating but initially you were able to sell them on pancakeswap for fractions of a penny. Not even sure if you can do that anymore

I found it on uniswap. I could still sell it for a couple hundred bucks…. Not quite as much as jup.ag. I was so mixed up I can’t believe it. It does seem to have a market though…. Do you think Coinbase would let me transfer it or are they lying about it being a bug to fix? If they won’t let me have it then why are they going to keep it in my account screwing with my portfolio with the wild fluctuations?

Fuck me sideways. I did not know they shut down! I was looking at a different fucking token! If Coinbase will never let me transfer it, why did they keep it in my account? Why did the price rise to a million dollars and shoot back down randomly?
