Honest question: is it really? Every time I've peeked at Coinbase stuff over the years I've steered very clear. They seemed alright ~2+ years ago, but not since, and oh heck yeah does it look like amateur hour. It's far and away the most well-known from what I've seen, but in the bitcoin world that rarely equates to "works at all".
Anyone know of any alternatives that seem alright? Gemini is on my radar since they seem to be doing things by the book, but I really haven't looked closely enough yet.
- goatsi 9y agoI wouldn't register at any of them at the moment. Every exchange is completely overloaded with new customers from the recent price spike and the media attention that came with it. If you want to sign up and get verified to the point that you can send/withdraw a decent amount of money you are likely going to be waiting for weeks. Wait a bit longer and see which ones can manage and which keep having more problems.
- Groxx 9y agoYeah, waiting until the dust settles a bit is basically what I'm doing. Just hoping someone knows if there are any decent-looking options I can look into in the meantime, since the dust keeps getting disturbed.
