Coinbase vs. Finio

Coinbase is well suited to the beginning investor, or someone who wants to learn more about Crytpo. While not all forms of Crypto are available for purchase outside of Coinbase Wallet, the variety is great. Also, the way their graphs display performance over time is so convenient, we do not have to do excessive outside research, because Coinbase is great at keeping relevant information in one place.

• 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.

Incentivized

• The fees coinbase charges on top of the crypto networks are relatively high, compared to the rest of the industry
• Under load/high volume, the site and application become unresponsive
• Customer support is lacking. It's hard to talk to a human and get a real response to your questions/concerns. This is particularly irritating since we're dealing with money.

The application and desktop versions are updated regularly and rarely experience down time.

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.

Coinbase and robinhood both offer crypto trading and investing. Coinbase, however, also offers to stake along with sending and receiving crypto. It's also nice that Coinbase focuses on crypto rather than also offering the purchasing and selling of stocks. Coinbase also does a better job of trying to educate their users about each crypto and often offers free crypto with that education. I use Coinbase for crypto trading/purchasing for those reasons.

• I have been interested in investing. But certain stocks are high. Cryptocurrency is open to whatever amount you have unlike stash or e-trader that only you a small amount to ownership
• I get the benefits to be educated on a few currencies and blockchains. They even give you a starting amount to get you trading
• To withdrawal, coinbase ask which currency to withdraw from. Then give a QR code to point at a bitcoin ATM or service.
