I will refrain from calling out coinbase for their alleged improper management and execution of transactions(alleged by me in great details in the previous threads) due to retracting a couple of my comments (on my own behest) due to drawing

Some point taken and agreed with to an extent. Would have edited some of my older comments to declare the biases but was to late to edit; mentioned them in two comments a couple of hours ago. Bias declared in [0] and mistake acknowledged in

Why don't you want to add any additional features? Specially if there are any that can make the experience easier for users. For example: You say users can easily send photos, but the premise is wrong, in the sense that it takes the sa

My previous comment was wrong[0]. I will not edit it out due to my sheer oversight to understand the current situation and to take ownership. Also I checked I'm too late edit it and leave a note about my mistake. I'd also like to

I feel bad for you but worse for who ever bought these if it was internally matched(some would may also call it a dark pool)(also explained further below why this was not on an exchange), here's why: Whoever was internally matched got

Don't do a chargeback because the price plummeted, you chose to invest in a volatile asset class, and that's all on you, under different circumstances it could be construed as fraud. But DO the charge back in this case as it is Co

You are right, botcoin is not a currency, but it is a security and it is traded on an exchange. Here's the definition of a security [Securities Act of 1933, Section 2(a)(1)]: The term “security” means any note, stock, treasury stock, s

The protocol should have been to reverse the USD charge(not to the bank but the OPs coinbase account), and let the OP decide if they want to buy BTC now, wait or withdraw the funds in its entirety. The reason for this is, they failed to del

Yikes! Please tell me you consulted with a lawyer before posting this publicly? Even if you gave the OP the BTC at current rates SEC/Courts can make a case against this sequence of events. It does not even have to be reported. I have n

Actually if there was a delay alone this would not really be illegal and could be forgiven. If you look at: http://i.imgur.com/R2qEn8E.png They clearly quoted a transaction price for the BTC conversion. This price should be

Well malicious intent could easily be proven, even if unintentional, depending on a few questions. 1. Was there really a delay because price could have slipped below what they quoted and they were hoping for a better rate before executing?

Actually having this option is really good and you should use it, as there could be a likelihood of "legitimate" BTC services facing bank runs in the current panic. Of course, you could be contributing in a bank run, though that&#

Actually you'd be wrong in this case as it is an illegal practice ("bucketing") whether due to a technical error, human error or malicious intent. The settlement amount may defer for the plaintiff, but the as it would be cons

Short selling is also buying low and selling high. You just do them in reverse order. Or quite literally you borrow the instrument, sell it to someone and then buy it lower (or higher if the position went against you) and give back the borr
