I think it's normal considering all the current situation with GME and people that are late in the train and are trying to see if they can take advantage of any kind of rise in anything really. With the push from Elon they are also turning their heads to BTC hence Coinbase and Kraken (perhaps others?) are taking the fall.

What I can say to you is to keep trying until you're able to do whatever you are doing. As always, remember to always double check every information when you're dealing with this kind of trade (Address mainly)
