The Struggle To Exit Coinbase Continues If you've read my latest posts, you know that my opinion of Coinbase has soured considerably. (E.g, https://noise.cash/post/16908799 and https://noise.cash/post/l9zmv9jz .) I've started the process of moving my crypto off that shitty exchange, but as of today have hit a bump. Logging into Coinbase from the Philippines with our funky internet connection is a huge pain-in-the-butt. I had to try multiple times today, and kept getting the friendly "blocked" message, until at last I held my breath and successfully logged into my account. Unfortunately, when I then tried to transfer my crypto out of Coinbase, I got the message in the first pic. Stupid Coinbase!! I'm not the only one who thinks Coinbase is a shitty exchange. Toby and Heidi made a followup video to Toby's video released yesterday, which warned us about Coinbase shenanigans. This new video goes into more depth, and has a link to a source article about Coinbase restricting how you SEND crypto if you reside in certain countries. (These restrictions will probably soon come to YOUR country too, by the way!) That new video is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3tlqDL7yyH0 . Finally, here is a source article that explains Coinbase's latest method to jerk around its users: https://www.ibtimes.com/coinbase-complies-local-laws-announces-changes-services-users-3-countries-3452522 . If I were you, I would be getting my crypto off Coinbase NOW, before they start restricting our access to our own coins even more severely. It is becoming painfully clear to me why they say, "Not your keys; not your crypto"!
