Coinbase gave me btc by mistake

I've tried contacting support, to no avail at this point.

I had a transaction scheduled, messed up math and it ended up declining. No big deal, I'll just buy less with my debit card.

So I buy instant btc, and three hours later I get an email saying my scheduled btc has been deposited.

I'm afraid to send this out of my wallet, fearing it will become noticed eventually. But at the same time... I want to just send it away. Not my fault something fucked up...

What do I do?

Thank the BTC gods and spend it.

I would leave it alone. Coinbase will realize they fucked up eventually and either try to debit those coins back out of your account (leaving your CB account in the hole if you already withdrew it) or re-charge the failed bank transaction.

Coinbase gave me BTC once. I sent it to my other wallet and they ended up closing the account. Just made a new one and added all my info. Got to keep $150 worth of BTC.

Either spend it or make an effort to return it, just leaving it in your account and waiting is daft, the temptation will eat you alive.

Sometimes it takes a couple of days, but they'll get around to charging it.
