What The Fuck CoinBase!? sort your shit out!!
coinbase has a habit of going offline when prices spike or fall this is the 3rd time this has happened within 2 months something seems suspicious.
Some would argue that the price goes down because of coinbase going down. creating a paradox where it seem like coinbase is trying to crash the market. for now coinbase is back up but still unable to accept buy or sell orders on ethereum.
whatever the excuse is I'm sure there are a lot of pissed off crypto buyers right now me being one of them!

I've noticed this and am a little suspicious myself, but you also have to take into account that Ethereum and crypto in general has had a lot of new people join in. That means that places like Coinbase, Poloniex, and other exchanges are experiencing more traffic than usual. That means that these places have to scale up in order to deal with all the traffic. However, it seems like Coinbase in particular has been the slowest to scale up... I'm not sure what to think, but I'll give these exchanges the benefit of the doubt until they give me a solid reason not to.
