Another terrible Coinbase story. A bug in their backend caused a transaction to go through to my bank account, withdraw funds, but not credit me coins.

Contacting support yielded no results at all. I had to go through my bank, close my account (which is a nightmare in itself), and get the money refunded via the bank's fraudulent ACH reversal process.

I would not trust this company.




So we should instead trust a different payment processor that undoubtedly also has bugs, but has not yet detected and fixed them? (This is supposed to be a playful comment, not a bitter or sarcastic comment, it kind of came out the wrong way.)
