AND cue the innumerable HN comments about how we need to feel sympathy for startup 'growing pains.' Coinbase has people's cash, hard cash, and stored value, it's not a software as a service startup that got wildly too popular.
It's not growing pains, it's greed and/or incompetence.
Why in the world do you keep signing up new customers if you don't have the capacity to hold them?
All aboard, yet the ship sinks due to the passenger load.
