Who Knows What Gold Lies in Them Thar Hills?

It irritates me that sometimes you can be sort of caught between a rock and a hard place, especially when it comes to something involving money. Well, money in a kinda sorta way. You see, a while back I dabbled a little bit in crypto, buying a little DOGE, Shiba Inu and even Bitcoin. Bitcoin Cash was my mainstay since I was able to earn it through sites like Readcash and Noisecash. When those sites went mostly kaput, and because I was not a crypto "enthusiast," not really seeing the point, I left my Coinbase account unmanaged, and whatever I kept there was just sort of "riding." Of course, in the past few years, a lot has changed in the crypto world, and many values of certain coins have gone up. Bitcoin Cash (BCH) is now $640 a coin when they were around $100 at the time. Bitcoin has risen to over $100,000 and was only $40,000 back then. It's not like I have $1 million sitting in my account. But it might be worth several thousand now, and of course, whatever it's worth, I'd like to at least know what the value is and be able to decide what I want to do. The problem is that my account is tied to a phone I no longer have access to. And so, while I know my login and password, as well as my pin code and wallet phrases, I can only access my account from a temporary code sent to my phone. There's no way to update (that I can find) my phone to gain access. So, I contacted Coinbase today via email support and I will have to wait to see what they tell me and hopefully be able to restore my access and update my phone. In the meantime, it's more than a little annoying.
