    I wonder if the hypnotherapy would work better if the client dropped acid first(?).
    If I was sitting on $200MM I'd look into that too.
    You can bet there'd be no flowerpot unturned on my end.

    Ya, imagine giving a hypnotist your password key to a couple hundred mil while zonked out.
    Sounds like a great idea. :)

    See, Vanz, that's the problem with old bastuds like you and I. We keep thinking logically and practically.

    Apparently, gold is useless. We must embrace the new ideology, because it is flawless and sacrosanct. Gold? HAH! It's YOLO on digital noise, or nothing at all!

    The new kids on the block will be digging around in the dirt of your $220 million dollar flowerpot looking for a thumb drive, getting fed up, and leave.

    Way of the future.

    Thanks!!!!! Hey RedDuke, started my sell process today and also initiated the withdraw for the 1st batch. Email from Coinbase says 1-3 business days for withdrawal to hit the bank.

    I'm looking at the limits, there's no way to increase the ACH limits $25K/day, but this is sufficient for me. I can initiate another withdraw tomorrow without waiting for the actual funds to hit my bank account, just going to assume it will be there. This is why we love cryptos, these real world business delays don't exist in cryptos transfers, but I digress

    Your friend was mistaken on the limits of the wire transfers. There's no limits. I don't care to do wire transfers and I'm not doing $1M but you need to tell your friend to not give you wrong information.

    Thanks for posting this. Coinbase has no limits on wire deposits but it looks like withdrawals have 25k limit for us based investors. At least according to their FAQ.

    No worries. I don't see a limit on wires and I didn't see anything when I searched the faq, do you have a link on wire withdrawal limits?

    Update: actually, found the section on Coinbase, wire method is recommended for withdrawals higher than $25K

    I am based in NYC. If you do not mind me asking where are you? Wonder if we see different info based on where we are.

    California. It's possible as NY has stricter rules around cryptos from what I've read, i.e. Bitlicense
