Nassim Taleb criticized Coinbase and closed his account
The author of the best-selling Black Swan Nassim Nicholas Taleb said that he is closing his account on the American cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase, which he acquired several months ago. A former option trader claims to have faced inadequate customer service on one of the most popular platforms for exchanging digital assets.
“Coinbase, what's going on with you? Why don't you answer the mistakes? ” - Taleb wrote on Twitter, immediately receiving recommendations "to use any other bitcoin exchange."
Coinbase support also responded by promising to sort things out. “Too late, I close my account,” Taleb replied. “They answered me as the owner of the account with a blue checkmark, but they ignore the average person.”
Close the Coinbase account Taleb was also not so easy, because the corresponding page did not respond to his requests.
Kraken CEO Jesse Powell invited Taleb to register on his exchange and contact him personally in case of problems. Also, their own products for storing cryptocurrencies were offered by the manufacturer of hardware wallets Ledger.
Recently, the performance of the Coinbase platform has often been criticized by users. At the beginning of the week, amid rising Bitcoin prices, the site was temporarily unavailable. It was the same on May 9 and April 29, when there were sharp changes in course. As a result, exchange customers cannot fill out applications when they need it most.
Twitter @ CryptoWhale user graphically depicted Coinbase periods of inaccessibility when the price of bitcoin changed by $ 500 or more.
Taleb himself in the past repeatedly spoke about the prospects of bitcoin in a positive way. “You can’t ignore cryptocurrencies, in particular the history of bitcoin and blockchain. I see examples where people no longer trust the banking system. Central banks can no longer control monetary policy, because these cryptocurrencies can dominate. A currency without government is great, ”he said.
