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"!

Still Didn't fix the problem? You try contacting there CS?
Oh yeah, that was a hoot! The first person hung up on me about a minute into the call, (and no, I was NOT being rude!), and the second person, while nice, basically had no more info to give me than what I saw on the screen. The Coinbase Customer Service department is actually misnamed. It should be called "Damage Control".
So basically the CS of coinbase failed to give you a satisfactory explanation. How sad I thought coinbase is one of the best crypto wallet
They actually suck. Many of the people who promote and/or praise them are compensated for the referral.
Yes there are just after for refferal. So do you want to continue using coinbase? If i were you try switching another cryto wallet
No, I will take most of my crypto off Coinbase. Maybe just keep $20 of crypto on there. Coinbase is just making it difficult to get MY crypto off their stupid exchange!
Thats the worst part . Ot look likes your assets lock up on there exchanges. Hays what happened to coinbase. So sad
They are now starting to hold your account
Coin base is a very good method by which a lot of good income can be made. I am not coin base
If you want to use Coinbase, and it works well for you, fine. Just don't be surprised if one day you have trouble accessing your crypto. You've been warned!!
