User Testimonials

Likelihood to Recommend	Circle Internet Financial No answers on this topic	Coinbase I think Coinbase is extremely suitable for people who are just starting to get into crypto-related activities. Based on how easy it is to use along with the brand recognition I think it offers beginners a better sense of security. Just like all trading platforms, it is extremely easy to get carried away as you only have to confirm your purchase twice and it goes through. It would not be very suitable for those who have little self-control. Incentivized Mark Wong Head of Web Development Read full review
Pros	Circle Internet Financial No answers on this topic	Coinbase Coinbase has a really nice looking design which offers for a better user experience. Coinbase is extremely easy to use. Coinbase does a great job delivering company news/changes to its users. Coinbase offers frequent updates which makes you feel more secure using their services.

Cons	Circle Internet Financial No answers on this topic	Coinbase Just like other apps(venmo, cashapp, PayPal) it keeps all your trade portfolio under coin based. Not transferable Even though, they give you a starting balance of $10. They do wants you to put at least $10 of your money The training video are simple. Learn about US dollar coin, USD, and bitcoin. But it doesn't teach you how to be a savvy trader. That will take additional education You can't add small cryptocurrency like BAR to your portfolio. It certain amount to trade with.

Support Rating	Circle Internet Financial No answers on this topic	Coinbase I haven't needed to contact support for Coinbase yet—it's probably because it is super easy to use and very intuitive. If I were to use the support, it would probably be better than these other companies because most of the other ones come from foreign markets or aren't as big as Coinbase.

Return on Investment	Circle Internet Financial No answers on this topic	Coinbase It's saved time from figuring out how to buy and sell cryptocurrencies It makes monitoring market prices and fluctuations in the value of crypto holdings very easy and simple. Which also saves time. We don't do as high of volume so the lower transaction costs even though there is a slight premium saves us a lot of money in contrast to many of the exchanges that can charge 4-5+% transaction costs.
