Coinbase Review: "Great springboard into the world of cryptocurrencies"

Coinbase is not being used in our business operations, as it's more a consumer crypto-currency product than business product. Therefore, my experience with Coinbase is limited to my own personal experiences. It addresses and solves none of my business problems.
  • Great UI for managing crypto funds
  • Excellent mobile application for monitoring crypto values and sending/receiving crypto.
  • Good two-factor security practices to ensure bad actors are not illegitimately gaining access to your wallets and stealing your funds.
  • 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.
I think Coinbase is a great place to start for people that are just getting acquainted with the cryptocurrency space. The interface works as much like a traditional bank as you could expect, considering Coinbase is not a bank, so it's very easy for users to get a handle on what is going on.

Storing money long-term in Coinbase is not particularly advisable, as the nature of cryptocurrency is that you are to trust no one with your secure keys. By using Coinbase, you are inherently breaking that idea, and trusting Coinbase to keep your funds secure for you.

Coinbase is great for its simplicity. It is no doubt the best entry level option for someone who is new to blockchain/ cryptocurrencies and wants to begin investing in it. However, while they do have relatively low transaction fees, they don't have the lowest fees. So for someone who is doing a high volume of trading, there are other platforms that would be a better fit.

Coinbase is not used by our organization, but myself personally. I used this as a way to first get involved in the crypto market early last year when I knew little about how to buy and sell cryptocurrency. It's a great tool for getting started and really geared towards newcomers who are used to user-friendly financial products.
  • Buy and sell Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency
  • Navigate your crypto portfolio
  • Send and receive cryptocurrency
  • The fees are way too high. Once you get used to trading cryptocurrency you should find a better solution.
  • Their customer support is abysmal
If you are interested in making some small bitcoin purchases and beginning to explore the world of crypto, Coinbase is a good place to start. Once you are comfortable with the platform, you should graduate to more professional services with lower pricing. Coinbase is just way too expensive and their customer support is horrible if you are having issues

Coinbase is being used for small, ad-hoc transactions of top cryptocurrencies. There is currently no major function that Coinbase provides for our organization.
  • User friendly / Easy-to-use UX
  • Non-technical users can own major tokens
  • Transparency in fee policy (Assesses fees without notifying customer)
  • Downtime of network is very volatile during high-traffic times
  • Customer service
Coinbase is well-suited for the beginner purchaser of crytocurrencies. However, beware of high fees.
