TDIL Coinbase insures money lost from physical security, cyber attacks, and employee theft. they keep 98% of their funds offline. So back to my original point, is it really that important to keep your money off exchanges if they offer insurance and you personally make sure that your account isnt vulnerable to phone attacks? https://support.coinbase.com/customer/portal/articles/1662379-how-is-coinbase-insured-

I know coinbase offers insurance, although I never really tried to see how that works, and how much of my money would be covered with their insurance. I doubt they would offer 100% insurance, but I didn't check their terms so I don't know. I do think that keeping money on exchanges kind of goes against the point of holding crypto, since an exchange would take the place of banks as a middle man, and with crypto would shouldn't need that.

I do keep a very small amount on coinbase, but just because I want to start trading. I do think they are safe, but I don't use them as a wallet.
