Big believer in Coinbase (Coinbase Wallet is my self-custody wallet), but you can't be in an industry based on decentralization and be down for maintenance for up to 8 hours :'( https://i.imgur.com/JNoUdSU.png

It’s very acceptable for the centralized part of their business.

I feel like a company like coinbase which makes billions from CEX fees, would not go down if they didn’t absolutely have to. 

Fiat banks are built on very stable legacy infra, crypto changes so fast that real infra changes are necessary. And I’m sure there is room for improvement.

If a major fiat player (lets say Chase) was to say all all of us will be unable to use our credit cards for upto 8 hours, I feel like we would all be touting that as a major benefit of crypto.

I think its ok to expect better from a company, especially if you admire it am want it to do well :)
