Look, I lost a lot of money too....

You aren't fooling anyone  Roll Eyes

Well you certainly helped the right traders make more money Grin

You lost the right to complain the moment you bought in based on a speculative news, and coinbase was smart enough not to say anything until the prices calmed down.

Sue coinbase with those lawyers. Or just sit here and bitch because you know you fk'd up trying take advantage of the wave where you certainly would have made money off of late comers.

Take your pick Smiley

My bad. You are right.

Now if only you would address my other points.

Look, I lost a lot of money too....

Ok, fine. I made a lot of money. I made $220,000 by buying BTC on margin.

Speaking of buying, I finally got my money on the Coinbase exchange. Trying to see what the fuss is all about. Took 4 freaking days to get my dollars in! I've bought some at $225, so that's why I'm not as upset anymore. Dollar cost averaging...

Man... how smart of them  Roll Eyes

Mmmmmm I love the taste of Shills in the morning!

Coinbase will be sued if they aren't interested in settling.  I hope to see that state take further action independently as well.

Now if only you would address my other points.

I'm not a good enough explainer. You can read the court papers in the future.

Stupid as stupid does. Fool and his money are quickly parted Smiley

"Shills" how pathetic to think you are important enough for coinbase to bother you with them LOL

So, coinbase wasn't really a legitimate exchanger? Is the news just and FUD? sorry im confused

They released something with news, it was either overstated/outright lied/fraudulent statement, and a bunch of idiots like bayareacoin lost their money trying to speculate on the news.

It is likely that coinbase did embellish their statement rather badly, but I doubt any of these speculators have any say in whether they are culpable for anything. Of course, they are always welcome to throw money at the lawyers to get back at coinbase for the incompetent business practices.

Either way, we win Grin

Basically, coinbase was being "cleverly" vague about their statements and possibly fraudulent. They claimed to have been licensed in california and other states in US when they clearly were not.

However, a bunch of idiots like bayareacoin tried to speculate on the coinbase news by buying in at the beginning, and are now btching at charlie lee and coinbase for "lying" when in fact, they were gambling on purely speculative grounds of their own accord.

So in short, we have a possibly fraudulent/embellished message sending company under threat of lawsuit and investigation by lawyers, and a bunch of speculative fools trying to moan about how they lost money on "fraud", not their own poor gambling wits.


Sht pile all around Grin



But to answer the critical question, yes coinbase seems to have placed a rather misleading statement (if not an outright lie) about being licensed in CA and NY, and is under serious threat of legal investigation. They have been noted in the past for some shady "high risk" stoppage of trade orders among other strange irregularities in their businesses.

I have yet to find where Coinbase claimed to have been licensed in CA and NY. They do make a very bold claim that they are the first regulated US exchange: http://blog.coinbase.com/post/109202118547/coinbase-launches-first-regulated-bitcoin-exchange
That's arguably wrong because there are other regulated US exchanges like CoinX and CoinSetter. But really, no one has a clear definition of what "regulated" means.

It seems to me that Coinbase told the press that they are launching a "regulated" exchange and that they support 24 states. And the press clearly jumped to the conclusion that Coinbase has licenses in all of these 24 states. And Coinbase didn't bother to correct them and that led to the statements from CA and NY, which were pretty embarrassing for Coinbase.

To go from this to having Coinbase be responsible for someone's speculative loss on BTC requires quite a bit of stretching the laws of consumer protection. If it were Coinbase stock, you might have a case. Even then, the price movements just don't match up.
