Holy Crypto! Coinbase Nearly Gave Me a Heart Attack

Imagine logging into your exchange account and seeing your account balance at more than $1 billion and thinking you hit a freaking oil well. That happened to me this afternoon shortly after 4 p.m.

I was just logging in to Coinbase to copy my BTC wallet address and plug it into my new Unstoppable Domain.

Flabbergasted to see that Bitcoin SV made up 95% of my portfolio and was worth billions of dollars, I quickly jumped over to CoinMarketCap to see what they were reporting. Ethereum was No. 1 and Bitcoin was No. 5!

No way! Bitcoin at No. 5? That’s one helluva flippening!

Then I decided to see what Bitcoin SV was trading at and here’s what I saw:

Holy geez! Are you kidding me?

I searched for the latest news on Bitcoin SV and crypto, but nothing. I knew it had to be a glitch. It had to be, right?

No news.

I took a deep breath and drove my wife to Dollar General so she could buy her favorite cheap tea—Brisk—because everyone needs a bottle of sweet tea on days like these.

When I returned home, I checked Coinbase, CoinMarketCap, and the news again. No change on the first two. But here’s what I found on the news angle after a search for CoinMarketCap. It was a glitch!

And then I went to Twitter and searched for #CoinMarketCap. Here’s what I saw.

And I remembered, that’s how I felt for a second, until I came to my senses.

Goes to show, you just can’t trust everything you see on the Internet.
