I'm not puzzled. Coinbase is great as long as you stay in crypto it's the fiat to crypto that causes concern. I'm about/in the process of cancelling/closing all my accounts.
Why?
In the TOS they (Coinbase) state your crypto will always be your crypto. You are free to withdraw at any time. That's BS. Not only was I told to FO by coinbase support but they said any further contact would result in the exact same answer (FO).
That said, I had a large ( like 2k usd) deposit (in ETH so no fiat) so I wasn't giving up. Was about to post on Reddit, or elsewhere but they finally unfroze my account after a month.
Most people in crypto don't use Coinbase except maybe the whales because there are incentives for whales. Smaller players get screwed.
Kris got fed up and decided to live off of the grid...here's his story. In my opinion this is both a Hacker Story and an inspirational story (below is quoted from his website):
"What does work mean to you?
Probably something like Monday morning commuter traffic, dreading getting out of bed, train delays, staying late doing unpaid work, stress, only getting told when you do something wrong rather than right, and a boss that got where they were by just saying yes sir no sir
I, like most other people in this world found myself in the very same position that you likely are. I grew up thinking the world was all about money - unfortunately for me the school system had failed to recognise my very real but non-academic talents. Therefore you won’t be surprised to know that I failed all of my GCSE’s and went to the bottom of the employment pile.
It was when I left school I started learning. I realised that education comes in many forms, that people’s abilities are so varied and unique that to try and push and grind them into little cogs whose only purpose is to serve the larger economic machine is so often a terrible waste of life.

Well while this is not indisputable proof there is a very relevant discussion on virological.org related to both Furin cleavage sites and orgins of SARS-COV-2. The damning part of the leaked research proposal is that they ALREADY had partner researchers located near caves in three different parts of Yunnan Province.
They also discuss that the base virus was mostly likely linked to bats in Yunnan province. How it got from Yunnan to Wuhan is a matter of question.
However, if the research was being conducted in the US and accidentally leaked into the population it may have been in circulation for sometime (months) before causing serious illness or disease (mutations).
