Biased scare tactic article showed its cards in the end

(I’ll spare you the homer simpson meme to accompany that)
But I will share the story of how my old man went FULL OLD MAN while setting up his coinbase wallet.
In the middle of completeing i.d. and account verifications on my computer. The guy decides to go to his computer and login to coinbase while I’m not looking. Right in the middle of making the initial setup authorizations. Well this put coinbase on red alert and his credit union subsequently halted transactions as well.
Me; frustrated with the old mans impatient control freaky ways - shouted at him
“YOU JUST FCKING HACKED YOURSELF WHY CAN’T YOU JUST LET ME DO THINGS MY WAY!!”
(I admit the teen angst might have been a bit over the top)
We’ve since unfroze the credit union. But coinbase is on hard lockdown with really poor access to customer support (i guess that should be part of my coinbase review)
Moral of the story; Never Go Full Old Man.
