If you’re a Microsoft, Google or AWS with a long established user base they can survive with the odd outage. The reason being it would simply be too costly for companies to switch to a different provider.

Solana is still building it’s user base.

Where’s the tow truck?

I guess Forge was already taken.

I have a sort code and account number for Coinbase deposits. I include the unique reference number for my account and send as a standard bank transfer. The deposit hits my Coinbase account and is available to spend within 5 minutes. I’ve been doing it this way for over 2 years, never had an issue.

Any investment comes with an element of risk. If he’s able to hold SOL for the next 6 to 18 months then I wouldn’t worry.

I’m in the UK and use Coinbase. Zero fees for GBP deposits via bank transfer. Buy SOL using the Advanced Trade feature to minimise fees.
