This seems to always be the case with Coinbase. Whenever there is panic coinbase web and mobile have an outage. It's almost as if it happens like clockwork to avoid people converting to fiat. I wonder if that is part of their strategy and if so all more reason to have some regulation in this space.

In other words they protect themselves from Fast Rising Prices and Sharp Fall in Prices... you can expect that from trading brokers as they don't want to get bankrupt ☺

Many forex trading brokers went into bankruptcy on SWISS CHF sharp fall... i think in 2014 or 2015...
