OP has no economic loss as a result of Coinbase's delay. OP has a loss as a result of Bitcoin price changes independent of this error.

Which could have been mitigated -had Coinbase fulfilled their delivery, as negotiated-. Ergo, material losses.

Yeah, fair point that he could have sold his coin the day he received it.
As I mentioned in a few other comments, just seems to me that frustration over the Coinbase's error and frustration over the price swing are both being heaped only on Coinbase.
I've had great experiences with the product and company, I would hate for this particular screw-up to be seen as representative of their overall service.
