Im a Coinbase customer. I'm waiting for my pending transaction to go through, and for USD to hit my bank account. And I'd rather have Fred and the rest of Coinbase working on solving that problem than explaining what, exactly, the glitch is, and while they're at it, what their entire infrastructure looks like. There will be time for explanations later.

False dichotomy. I'm sure someone in the entire company has five minutes while fixing the problem to explain to us what's going on.

You may be overestimating how many people 'the entire company' is ;)

What exactly happened during the "database migration"? Was there any data loss?
What sort of backup infrastructure is in place?
