Hello Bitcoin Forum.
Can anyone suggest a good alternative to Coinbase?
I personally don't have much respect for the company with their recent actions and many failed wire-transfers in the past.
The reasons I use Coinbase are...
1. Instant bank USD -> Coinbase USD wallet and I can make a BTC purchase right away (unfortunately paying their high fee).
2. I can use limit orders to purchase/sell BTC without a fee
3. Trying to get my folks into crypto, so I like their simple interface to buy/sell crypto for those not using Coinbase Pro.
Are there any other exchanges that I can use that have these features?
TY!
I am using Coinbase and i think it is the best one. But still you do not have control over private keys so in case of hack or scam attempt, all our funds will be lost.
Coinbase often freezes withdrawals for a few days. it's unacceptable, I think. to manage funds faster and safer we should use trusted exchange services, to exchange coins in a few minutes instead of a few days.
so, your question is about alternative, my recommendation is - Changenow. I read its reviews on trustpilot and find it reliable.
I think it is normal for any exchange to freeze the withdrawal for any purpose which can be security purpose too. Whenever there is any big transactions which is not normal, the exchange should freeze the withdrawal for sometime and see it there is any hack attempt.
