Twitter would go down all the time for years (remember the Fail Whale?)

With Coinbase, don't forget that a/ they're dealing with huge spikes of people trying to do actions (not just reading) that happens once every 2-3 years and b/ they're built on a network and aren't able to control everything.

I'm not saying they should be going down, but I don't think I'd write it off as negligence.
