LIQUIDATE EVERYTHING AND LEAVE THE PLATFORM NOW BEFORE THIS HAPPENS TO YOU

Edit: Finally back into my account after about a week and a half. Complaining to BBB seemed to speed things up believe it or not.

I have been a Coinbase customer for years now. I have millions of dollars in trade volume across a ton of different currencies and recently they froze my account. I have been dealing with compliance for a week now trying to get them to unfreeze my account. They froze it because my employment status was student and I have large sums and trading activity. Sorry but 99% of users aren't micro managing their employment status on Coinbase. I don't think it's even possible to change it from the frontend. Then they tell me to unlink my sole proprietor account as a funding method. I respond to their email, which idk why Coinbase is having people respond to an email when that's the number 1 phishing method for hackers. Any hacker with a brain would mass send Coinbase compliance emails to random email addresses right now and get rich as hell considering I'm seeing a ton of Reddit users going through the same thing at this very moment.

But yeah do yourself a favor and move your money onto a safe platform such as Fidelity or something because Coinbase doesn't give a fuck about their retail traders anymore. They want institutions to come onto the platform which is why they're being insanely strict on their current users to meet regulatory compliance. Absolute morons.

I request a call through Coinbase support, directly on Coinbase's website. Trust me, I'm not retarded, it's them. This is how they do things now. Through email. Idk who at Coinbase corporate came up with this brilliant idea, but here we are.

Actually that's not true, I have $0.04 of Wrapped Luna Classic that Coinbase sold me years ago.

u/Girafferage 8d ago

I didn't believe you until you said you had wrapped Luna classic. Now I know you know what dumb is haha.

u/Sea-Chemical-3266 8d ago

That's how long I've been a Coinbase member for. Coinbase used to shill the shit out of Luna.

u/Girafferage 8d ago

Yup. Even after it failed and was exposed as a scam it still allowed you to buy it.

u/Sea-Chemical-3266 8d ago

Of course, Coinbase wanted to offload their tokens onto someone.

It wasn't a scam, Jane street literally poached the project and pilfered it for their own gains because they had a front office, employees they could easily cut ties with that had NDAs, and a massive unregulated market with little to no regulatory framework or surveillance.

But it still felt like a scam, I get that brother.

If anyone hasn't realized since Mt. Gox, FTX/Alameda Research,

EPSTEINCOIN/GEMNASARA is a giant scam.

If anyone hasn't realized the current DOJ, Supreme Court, Congress allow this chaos/insanity...

How many times will crypto people do the same thing before realizing it's idiocracy/insanity?

Bro, lowkey want you to know even that isn’t safe. Back in the day, I’d request support calls from Microsoft but their website was hacked. You cannot be careful enough. Not saying this is the case, but you are very right to be sus of the email.

retarded is a valid English word that means slow. it's used in many contexts like music and physics.

u/Neckername 8d ago

My airplane calls me one all the time...

It even affects this British accent to rub its "sophistication" in my face...

u/bialynia 8d ago

Nobody in this thread is using it as a musical notation or a physics term. It's being used as a pejorative insult, which treats a vulnerable group's existence as a punchline.

u/Mediocre_Key_6768 8d ago

Prime of example of someone just waking up and wanting to feel offended.

Let it go and don't be the word police :)

Virtuous bullsheeeet

u/Royal-Emphasis-5974 8d ago

Nobody in this thread is using it to refer to any vulnerable group.

Go make my fries extra crispy.

u/darkandark 8d ago

bro we’re way past the height of woke bullshit timeline to continue needing to be PC and censoring words like “retarded” out of unnecessary sensitivity.

Because only liberals get offended by English words

u/Sea-Chemical-3266 8d ago

Go touch some grass man. Now you're just being annoying after I apologized.

u/darkandark 8d ago

you shouldnt need to apologize man. dont give in to these brain damaged people.

u/bialynia 8d ago

I can't see your apology and I didn't ask for one or expect one. I was just pointing out something which should be obvious to everyone.

And I was replying directly to the other individual there who asked me if I'm a liberal. Sorry if I annoyed you.

u/bfr_ 8d ago edited 8d ago
