PANIC - The Coinbase Account Is GONE!
Day 1
Me: "I'll change my email address to reflect my new business."
Several days later
Me: "Interesting, I've been signed out of Coinbase. Maybe it's still logged in on my phone." Nope.
The next day
Me: "Let me request a new password!" No joy. Panic.
Me, to myself: "I'll check again tomorrow. If someone's stolen my Coinbase crypto, so be it."
My wife: "What do you mean you lost all of your Coinbase crypto?"
Today
Me: "Oh. Let me try the new email address."
Whew. My crypto is all here.
Lesson: Let it be, Let it be! If it's not broken, don't fix things.
Note: I keep the majority of my crypto in a cold wallet.
