With Coinbase (apparently) going down, where do you go to sell your BTC?

This is silly, there's no sign to indicate that Coinbase isn't doing well.

Sorry if this came off as a coinbase bash or any speculation about their demise, all I meant was that I've used coinbase to cash out coins for the last few months and recent complaints have inspired me to take all my BTC out of third party wallets. Now with the price shooting up I'm curious how the community sells their BTC.

Ah, I get what you're saying now. I know that several other people had the same issue, compliance of Coinbase has made buying and selling in their platform has become harder and harder. I did discuss a couple of alternatives in this thread, lmk if you need more suggestions.

I doubt that coinbase will go away any time soon. At least I hope not because I have a little bitcoin with them. They have had such a good reputation for a long time and have seemed so stable.

I never sell my coin in coinbase, i usually sell my coin to local exchanger, its easier and more convenient to cash out

Where I live in Phoenix we have a few two way bitcoin ATMs. Apparently they were installed in 2014 I found them early this year by Google. I highly recommend everyone Google "(thier city) bitcoin atm".

sell and bitcoin? are not words, that are together in my book, i simply use bitcoin directly, much more satisfying

if yu refer only about trading, then you have plenty of other option, as a good excahnge, i like kraken for example

There a lot of local traders who are currently doing trades with localbitcoin, you have to also know them so when they are in need of bitcoin you can directly trade with them with care otherwise you definitely know each other where trust is just a high five.  Why transact to an unsecured trader when you can trade it at home.

Localbitcoins has margins even worse than Coinbase. I wouldn't consider it an alternative unless your only option is cash and you don't have a bank account.
