never got that email. not sure why. didnt even find out about it till the ars article yesterday (im a regular reader there).

one guy panic sold like 60k of coin. as to why he kept that amount there instead of in his own wallet is beyond me. exchanges are for money/coin you intend to have ready to go via buy/sell ladders. and its money/coin that you should be prepared to kiss goodbye anyway, not you keys etc.

I think the point is that coinbase is insured for USD and not BTC so if they force people to panic they are going to move into the insured asset. This is a classic FUD move.

Don Pirtle told CNBC led him to panic-sell more than $60,000 of cryptocurrency.

Well... That's more than one whole bitcoin!

But it was probably ETH or some other shit tokens.

Actually the comments are the best part. VERY VERY negative on "crypto". Funny that many of us here would agree with them to some extent.

Note the upvotes as well as the "Editors Pick" tag. LOL.

I hope I will live long enough to see the end of "Still Early".

That was one person that they could verify, do you think coinbase is sharing their customer list with anyone besides the fed? They are fearmongering and whether it was to force a market move or for some other reason I can only speculate.

Afa ARS comments, yeah it seems the campaign to smear bitcoin is still in force in the mainstream, when that dissapears will be the biggest signal the planet has ever seen. Be nice to know how many of the commentors are shills and how many are just morons.
