I love cryptocurrencies and I've had mostly only good experiences! *However...*

When Ethereum hit *$410 USD,* I sold off half of my wallet to Bitcoin. It took about 5 minutes. When I then traded back to ETH when it was at *$350 USD* it wouldn't exchange. I've now been waiting 6 hours for it to transfer as the ETH price continues to climb back up. I'm losing a ton of potential money as it nears *$385 USD.* I've been using ShapeShift by the way...

It's important that we in this market can sell high and buy low and not have to wait up to a day or more for the transfer to go through. This is incredibly risky for our money. When will it be fixed?

CoinBase went down today and I know it's been somewhat of a bloodbath in the crypto market so there are a lot of people buying and selling but this should not be an excuse. We have so many geniuses in this industry, can't we find a better way?

I truly hope more people get on this. Let's make this market more robust with convenient exchange time. This is the future and we should all be preparing for the future.
