To be clear: You can sell 100 btc today for USD. Coinbase will hold your USD (and the balance is insured). They will limit your withdraws to 10k, however. To take out more faster, you'll need to contact them and speak with a human. None of this seems unreasonable.

It paints a bleak picture of bitcoin runs on insolvent and poorly insured exchanges when the bottom falls out.

Coinbase is insured via FDIC, so I don't think "poorly" as an appropriate adverb.

Assuming everything goes smoothly in that regard, it’s still a limited coverage.
