Coinbase had been down for me for hours

They crash every single time there is a big price move. It's a meme at this point. I did see that kraken and binance both went down today too though. Gemini was running like dogshit as well. Not sure what the deal is.

MGTI stock rose 200% today, ended at $0.149. Crazy. It was resisting a rise all week and didn't move much until BTC 40k and it took off today.

I'm trying to figure a few things out.

Wallets. What exactly is a ledger nano s? compared to say, just a flashdrive with keepass/lastpass on it.. and your keys stored in keepass?

Second, addresses and receiving coin.
on coinbase, I see a new address is generated every time I hit "receive", and
a site like this says, addresses are meant to be one time use. so, how I receive crypto, on like invoices, multiple sources(please support my patreon), etc, without directly interacting an making new addresses every time?
Is this a coinbase thing? where, in that case, they should just be sending it to my linked email address, while if I had a software wallet, I would have a public key that is sent to?

how do I get keys off coinbase? send them to myself? which then would need a software wallet, or the ledger nano, to connect to?

major drop right now.
btc below 37k.

Eth lagging behind, but also dropping.

35.4k .. look out below.

I'm surprised you're bearish with how quickly these dips are getting bought up. Back to $38.5.

Look out below.

yeah, probably a good idea to take some wins if thats your thing, and get ready to buy back in, when it looks it hits the bottom.

30k will probably be a buy for alot of people. so will spike, but then recede a bit more.

FUD

Bankers want your Bitcoin. They said nothing substantive in this article, its clickbait. Their argument can be summed up as "There is no guarantee price go up".

Yea, no shit. Plenty of traditional finance people understand crypto's value. Way more don't and have a vested interest in seeing it fail. I like to go over crypto stuff here and share stuff I find, but this is literally just fear mongering on a price drop.

Bitcoin does this, all is well.

BTC was under $20k as recently as December 15. If you're looking for a quick buck then you should perhaps have looked for a short term exit. Long term holders this is just a buying opportunity IMO. This ride WILL end, I just don't think its done yet.

Bitcoin down to 30k
