Coinbase cannot move to another country as it is US based.
Probably as many people saying they may have some kind of contract directly with the goverment, valuating your documents and information as a part
for not shutting down the exchange.

We all know that Coinbase is own by the Federal Reserve. They do have a bad track record at manipulating prices.

Coinbase is a very shady exchange, they took so many peoples money just because of regulations in their country. They could've just moved to another country.

Never heard of that before, and I never had any problems using their services. I normally use Gdax to trade, but it belongs to them, so I guess it's the same. I traded on all markets that are available to me and I never had any problems beside the typical lag from time to time, but that happens on all big exchanges, since they are not dealing well with the amount of users they have (bitfinex is only accepting new users by invitations because of this problem apparently). Right now I have no reason not to trust them, but I will keep an eye on these things.

Did you see that ludicrous display last night?

They spent a year trying to prevent the IRS from finding out their customers' information, and the IRS still didn't end up getting all of it, so if they're tied to the US government they're doing a pretty bad job of being themselves.
They do have a bad track record at manipulating prices.
That's a pretty bold claim.  Give me an example and a reliable source.

It's not impossible, but downtime is obviously going to be far more likely when the trading volume has very massively increased and Coinbase has got loads of new users.
