In the case of coinbase, they require the user's phone number and I find that bizarre considering the purpose of a crypto wallet. I'll try blockchain it's been around since the beginning.
It has been around since the beginning but that doesn't make it safe to use, online wallets are far from being a good choice.
Totally agreed. I didn't have the time to look at blockchain yet but since it is an online custodial service and not a real wallet, I won't bother with it. It's like a bank, might use your money as they like, including stealing it like mtgox.com.
No online "wallets", that makes sense. Not comfortable with a hardware wallet because it might be stolen, lost, etc.
A desktop/mobile software wallet, that is the deal.
