Coinbase is one of the worst of evil exchanges.
edit: TRIGGER WARNING
yup i hate coinbase because of their history and actions.
but guess which exchange i tell starting btc noobs who arent very computer literate and even less cyber security conscious? yup. coinbase. for the simple reason that they are legit from a usa law point of view. it offers yubikey security.
accounts can be transferred to surviving spouse or executor if the account holder dies.
ok thats it, haters may now proceed to list the myriad ways They Suck. fine by me as i might be some that im not aware of yet and ive been with them since 2013.
now if a btc noob is slightly better informed i tell them gemnini.
please dont forget here in the usa (land of the free) we have limited choice in a lot of things.
full disclosure: coinbase is a backup exchange for me.
Millions of people global "hate Coinbase" and yet use them every single day, week, month, and year.
Myself included.
So tf what?
Just because that death_diaper troll comes in here spouting nonsense, and loves to condescendingly tell bitcoin WO vets "how it is, bro", doesn't mean anyone needs to listen to his drivel.
