I closed the @coinbase account (opened a few months ago). Like Must, they answered me (blue check) when I complained but ignore the regular person. https://t.co/YqWWUQHwtc

Taleb added that Coinbase responded only after he tagged them on his Twitter (nearly 600 thousand subscribers), and the exchange ignores ordinary people. He opened an account a few months ago.
Hi Nassim! We sincerely apologize for the delay in response. We'll be following up shortly to your support case.

Representatives of the community advised Taleb to switch to alternative American sites: Kraken and CashApp from Square.
Recall that earlier Taleb called cryptocurrencies a positive phenomenon that made central banks feel competition.
