    I actually prefer BlockFi to Coinbase (currently using both). BlockFi has more clear information on my tax basis and is far more transparent on interest rates for staked assets. I wish Coinbase would follow suit.

    I have personally used robinhood for micro-transactions, and it is similar to Coinbase, but Coinbase is more widely used and accepted. We ended up going with Coinbase because of the selection of currencies available, Coinbase's market presence, and secure transactions. I feel …

    I tried different tools but ended up choosing Coinbase as the main one because of the simple interface and the way it is clearer in displaying its features. Despite not being the easiest for beginners, Coinbase is not chaotic and dispersive like some other tools.

    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.

    Cons
    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.

    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
    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.
