Instead of a class action, open up some other accounts.  There is Gemini, Binance US, Bitstamp, Kraken, and likely quite a few others that US citizens/residence can open up.

You should have more than one option, anyhow.  Sure, maybe you can keep working on them to get access back, but there are various other options that you should have at least a few different ways in and out of bitcoin... and some of them will change from time to time.  

Over the years, I have had troubles with several exchanges, including but surely not limited to Coinbase.  I have tended to try to maintain at least a 2-3 available ways to get in and out of dollars through exchanges, but yeah, it can be irritating, and even when bitcoin goes up to $1million per coin or whatever, we still run the risk of no longer being able to get in and out of bitcoin through various exchanges, so hopefully some other options come about during the years, otherwise, yeah, maybe we are all fucked, and we can ONLY convert into an ETF...or maybe figure out ways to interact directly with our neighbors, if that might even be possible in modern times, if we are not afraid to get to know our neighbors and our local merchants.


It seems to me that each of us should be trying to think about (and act upon) the things that we can control rather than things that we cannot control, and so whether or not various macro happenings accelerate the dollars demise (what we were talking about in the earlier posts) or bitcoin's growth (what might be related to the dollar's demise and what you were talking about), these do not seem to be so much directly within the abilities of normies to control (whether you consider yourself to be a normie or perhaps you consider yourself to be a person with special access?), even though it seems to me that each of us should be attempting to prepare our best (financially and psychologically) for a variety of scenarios that could end up playing out, even some of the scenarios that could end up playing out might end up being extreme scenarios.


That is another good point. If anything bitcoin is not slow and steady or stable, so guys anticipating that bitcoin is slow and/or steady and/or stable and/or that they are hoping for bitcoin to serve such purposes, then they are likely living in a fantasylandia with unrealistic expectations.. They may well need to find some other investment if they want to achieve slow and steady, and in these times, who knows what might be slow and steady, even the dollar's ongoing demise might not end up playing out as slow and steady.

Spiking...did Saylor (or someone even bigger ) buy a massive amount?
It happened without any change to stock market futures-something bitcoin specific?

You must be new here.

Protip:  That's how bitcoin rolls.






 Last time I checked...
