    Chose Coinbase
    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 …

    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.

    robinhood has been great for me as a first time investor using "play money" outside of my main 401K and retirement. It has options for purchasing partial shares, which means you don't have to purchase a full, even share in order to invest. I love to option to buy and sell crypto so easily. Crypto prices move quickly. I can set alerts when I want to get in and for when I want to get out. The availability of index funds also balance it well. I like reading the articles and morningstar ratings that provide direction on market sentiment, fair value and quick earnings results.

    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.

    Great UI, Great tools for education learning with freebies, eqsy onboard, site and app are pretty good. Good API documentation. The opposite is high fees and slow support when needed. Overall it is good for its simple use and balance between beginners and professional traders making it a great choice and this is why it is one of the most famous site out there.

    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 is just better overall, with access to investments that can be traded for USD. As well as the crypto that can gain interest, Coinbase is amazing at educating the user along with providing real-time data, that allows the user to make the best decision they can when making this kind of risky investment. Coinbase takes the risk out of Crypto.

    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.
