Thoughts on Bitcoin as payment?

[killingstress]

....Cash App and Coinbase are probably the easiest methods of purchase....

On two different occasions I have had Coinbase delay the transfer of my bitcoins "for 72hours for your security".
What rubbish!  They hoped to hold onto my coins for 3 days to make profit for themselves before sending them on.
This is a REAL issue when your Newsagency has stated that the quote for your magazines is only good for 24 hours.
In both cases I contacted Coinbase's Support line - and got automated responses stating that the transfer time could not be altered up by the Support Team.

What I found I had to do was cancel the 'held' transaction - and to their credit my coins were immediately put back into my wallet - and then perform the same transaction action again. Surprise! On both occasions the 2nd transaction went through to the blockchain immediately and was confirmed within 20mins.

Yes Mabuhay, Coinbase is easy to use - but you have to keep your eyes open for their random "your coins are being held for 72 hours for your security' logarithm with every transaction!

Yes, cause, Coinbase, after all, is like a " PayPal " they can frozen whatever and whenever they want .
