I, by no stretch of the imagination, am an expert cryptocurrency expert. I set up weekly buys for a various few currencies that I favor in this ever changing market. From time to time I like to place a strategic buy when the markets have taken a dip below the main line. Three times in the past three weeks, Coinbase has shit the bed as far as providing me a platform to make these buys.
The first time I wondered why, it was easily explained as "poor Coinbase is just not prepared to handle the onslaught of buyers/ sellers during these turbulent down markets......I accepted this and simply bought when Coinbase caught back up and reopened buy orders.....Most of the currencies had rebounded pretty good during this time.
The second time, I told myself hopefully this will be the last time..........
Today I was amazed to see that again, with a substantial amount of money to buy Ethereum during a nice dip, Coinbase shut down....again.
I'm a loyal customer, but goodness if Coinbase cannot get this thing figured out I believe that they will receive a repercussion of customers leaving the exchange. Seems like a very good opportunity for another exchange to step up and create a better, more robust platform.
I'm certainly going to be doing more research on other exchanges and wallets during the next couple weeks, while I wait for another opportunity to buy.
Just my two cents on the matter
