The idea that Coinbase would do anything at all to increase the number of people trying to use their system to buy or sell anything is laughable. I have been locked out of my coinbase account pending id verification, which I have submitted numerous times incidentally, since December 12 without even a peep of support follow up from Coinbase.

So, for me, seeing stories like this are basically just rage inducing. Coinbase should not offer anything new until they can invest in support infrastructure to close out all of the tickets that have been submitted by a great many people who have been essentially ripped off.

I have given up on the idea that I will ever hear back from Coinbase support at this point. I put money into the system in good faith expecting that, because they were US based, there would be some customer support. I see now it is a swindle. You can play this same trick with just about any valued product: take thousands of orders, collect everyone's money, and then just tell everyone that you are so swamped that technically it will be a very very long time before anyone can get refunds or deliveries.

Oldest trick in the book.

And stories like this where the mainstream Silicon Valley hype machine continues to play along with this ludicrous narrative are absurd and upsetting.

The fact is: Coinbase cannot support transactions or customer issues in a timely way and is making no effort to resolve any of the issues in a timely way after having taken everyone's money.
