All I ever hear is complaints about how shitty the company is and people still want to use it. Does that make sense to you? I used them the first time I bought Bitcoin like many of you? The difference is I did it before Coinbase turned into a flaming pile of crap!

## Reasons Why You Should Not Use Coinbase. ##

1. Coinbase has been crashing.
2. Banks have been closing accounts if you buy Bitcoin directly from your account.
3. Coinbase can close your account at any time.
4. When Coinbase has issues it hurts the whole Bitcoin market.
5. I Have a stack of other reasons but I will keep them to myself.

## For a Visual Reference. ##

## I Hope This Post Convinced You to Stop Using Coinbase. ##

Sometimes it takes losing money or missing an amazing trade to convince people. But heh, I will leave that to you. Experience is the best instructor. For those who live in the USA you guys have a tough road ahead. My best recommendation is to move to a country that values freedom.

I'm based in Germany, which is one of the harshest countries in the EU for internet regulations. If I want to download something or watch something on youtube that is not available here I use an VPN. Would you recommend using a VPN for trade, especially for people from the USA or other countries with very tight and restrictive goverment control?

I actually disagree. Coinbase has been a better provider than Kraken for me.

I'm glad I'm off Coinbase but I mainly use poloniex, is kraken really that much better, and if so, why? More coins offered?

Wholeheartedly agree! Trying to buy Bitcoin during massive crashes have left me with a bad impression, let alone to have the possibility of Coinbase closing your account (especially if you are in the USA).  Will give a try to other exchanges and see how they compare -cheers

I completely agree, but I am having a roadblock.  I am trying you'd a  Way to transfer Bitcoin to USD (direct deposit in bank or debit card) and it seems like coinbase is one of the only options in the USA. If you know of a better alternative let me know, thank so.

Thanks for your post and alternatives hilarsky! I just checked in on Steemit but loving all the interesting posts! As an exchange I find them very user-friendly. As A wallet I have decided to go for a Ledgerblue after a VERY nasty experience with Coinbase,  costing me a small fortune recently. Soon as I find the time, I will  share this experience in detail for my first post.

I've been using coinbase for a long time without any issues, what I have had issues with are other exchanges that crash and burn, coinbase has always risen from these history or hacks and crashes so out of all of them I have faith in. However just like any exchange it can be crash and burned.

Spot on, @hilarski.

Coinbase has restricted me from buying or selling for the past 2 months (with no explanation why). I've been moving my currency out of there to Gemini, which has given me zero problems. Gemini is worth trying if you're tired of the verification delays and transfer limits with other services. I was depositing USD within 5 business days.

I'll bump for the Gemini plug. Top notch. 

Acceptable liquidity, great security and infrastructure. Regulated as a trust company so you get a bit more for that.

1.) I don't have any loyalty to any one particular exchange.
2.) I am **still waiting** on a Tier 3 verification from Kraken submitted more than a month ago.
3.) Sorry you had a bad experience with one exchange in particular, but most of your reasons could just as easily be applied to any other exchange.
4.) Why are you spreading fear in the media about CC.  It's like you shoot yourself in the foot cause you don't like your nose.
5.) Do you get a commission from recommending other exchanges?  I mean why are you so **passionate** about getting people to stop using one exchange vs. another?

Glad I never used Coinbase but then I never needed to in the first place. Always hearing bad things about them now, hopefully they can sort things out for everyones sake.

Definitely agree with you there - I've stopped using Coinbase as soon as they started blocking credit cards. That's why I've stuck to a buy and hold strategy for my cryptos and have been STEEMing even more these past few weeks! Haven't checked out localbitcoins but I did sign up for an account with Kraken. Thanks for raising awareness @hilarski!

You cover interesting points about not using Coinbase to buy bitcoin, unfortunately, options for US citizens selling for fiat are limited. While localbitcoins may be an option, it is dangerous - some users have been arrested for running "money service businesses" because of doing high value trades. 

EU citizens have more options because they're not subject to the same craptastic laws that US citizens are subject to.

I have only used coinbase to purchase bitcoin a few times and I have to admit it was a rather loathsome process. I now prefer to use https://bitquick.co/ . The fees are minimal and I have always received the bitcoin I paid for within 3-5 hours. 
I once had to wait 24 hours for my bitcoin to arrive, but the fee was waived when I did finally receive it. They currently only offer purchases through bank deposits, which are really easy. I like to tell the bank tellers that I am buying bitcoin by depositing USD into other peoples bank accounts. Most of them do not care, but I have hooked a few into asking more questions.

I have never had a problem with Coinbase for purchases. It has always been smooth for me as a way to get from fiat to crypto.  

You list a few reason why they are bad but do you have any proof? Any links or additional actual stats?  I think that would make your post a lot stronger.

I am simply just responding to your title and honestly this needs a few more elements of hard fact to convince me.

If you are brand new to crypto use Coinbase to get started and immediately move your funds to a hardware wallet. I still think CB is one of the easiest ways to buy your first BTC.
If you have experience with crypto and are a more advanced user use an exchange like Kraken or Bittrex like you mentioned.
CB has been crashing, long wait times and as you mentioned a lot of issues with banks....but the silver lining (perhaps) is that they are adding large numbers of new users, investing heavily in their business and expanding with projects like GDAX and they have also laucnhed a subsidiary looking to create an Ethereum messaging app. I guess we will have to see how all this plays out, but I hope that can restore some of their reputation.

This is the voice of reason (VOR). Their problems are sudden, astronomical growth, way beyond their capacity and all the rules & regs of dealing with the banks. If it weren't for CoinBase this movement wouldn't be as far along as it is and by a long shot. But don't expect any thanks.

I tend to disagree with you on this matter and here is why. The site has been experiencing delays do to the recent large influx of users in the past few months, along with many other crypto sites, mostly resulting in slower Bitcoin transaction times. Also they are by far the most user friendly wallet. Im not sure what you mean when you say, "They can close your account at any time." As any organization whom I choose to do business can close my account, I don't understand how this is any different. It sounds like you personally had a bad expierence with coinbase and are now venting it out to the steemit community. Am I correct in this assumption? Thank you for your post. It's good to have differeing view points, but please feel free to explain you critiques of coinbase in further here!

Couldn't help but chuckle at the hints of humor you meticulously placed there. Well, I never got to use Coinbase because it **doesn't support my country** but I'm not the least bit disappointed. You've pointed out many other ways to buy Bitcoin (as well as other cryptocurrencies) and I particularly am in love with **option 5**.

We all know that cryptocurrency is extremely time-sensitive and a company that doesn't maintain uptime will just cause you problems. I can imagine the frustration and helplessness one might feel as he or she watches the price move in favor of their position, as they still try to login to their Coinbase account to place an order and cash-in, and then watch the price go against their position, still trying to login. Then your amazing trade moves further and further away from you until it is out of reach, and you're still trying to login.

I have found that wallofcoins.com is the easiest and quickest way to get bitcoin or dash. You create an account with your phone number, say how much cash you want to spend and check the local offers. 

There are banks and credit unions that you can deposit cash into. Take a picture of the receipt and then write on the receipt and take another picture. Email it back to wallofcoins and they send your coins.

Thanks for the post! It is super important to be able to get in, out, and in between crypto and fiat currencies in order to build trust and more pervasive use. I know Coinbase has been sending out apology emails with pleas for patience as they supposedly improve and expand their staffing and capabilities, but it is difficult to tell if this is really happening or not. 

The thing is, if I talk to my friends and family about Crypto's and I can't give them simple answers about transferring in and out of them, or if I tell them they have to use some exchange out of some land far far away, their eyes glaze over. 

There is a huge need for clear, rock solid pathways in and out of crypto. I think the greatest fear for most people is to be stuck in a virtual world with no way out:)

Thumbs down on this post. It's easy to exploit dissatisfaction and in strong language that you may have to regret later. At least you didn't recommend the NY bankers.

CoinBase has done enormous service by getting hefty capital into the market in the person of "the little guy." Once the little guys get in first, the big money coming into the market only makes 'em wealthy. Right model.

I saw the video of the founder speaking at the Ethereum Conference and he understands our historical position,  really understands economics and has high libertarian ideals.

I agree with you. Coinbase has been trending in the wrong direction. I first used them years ago and bought a decent amount of BTC (they were only selling BTC at the time). Fast forward a few years later, they send me an email asking me what I use my Bitcoins for. I ignored the email and didn't give them any info (I felt that was an invasion or privacy). As a result, they froze my account without notifying me. I couldn't buy/sell BTC. It took about a week of email exchanges for them to unfreeze my account. If our privacy keeps getting infringed, we are going to be living in an Orwellian world.

Agreed, that is **an extremely intrusive question,** but wasn't it on an optional questionnaire? I started to take a "Customer Satisfaction Survey" type of form but seeing it was full of intrusive questions, just abandoned it. Those kinds of questions come from the banks that are under severe regulation, not free-market institutions at all.

Certainly CB comes under pressure from the "know your customer" type of bank regulation. But they would not willingly offend their clients without that external pressure. Someone out there doesn't want the middle (peasant) class to have any kind of independence at all. It's an undeclared, asymmetrical war on freedom.

And take note, the sage advice is to get your assets off of the exchanges for the long haul.

Wise words. I got into cryptocurrencies (BTC/LTC especially) because I love what they stand for. Decentralized, finite amount, deflationary, anonymity, "be your own bank currency" that puts the power back into the people's hands...away from the central bankers. And yes, it is the banks/IRS that is forcing the hand of Coinbase, so I can't blame Coinbase entirely, but the info they were asking for is completely contradictory to what I believe is the message of cryptos. And yes, I have most of money off the exchanges...around 95%. The other 5% I'm short term trading with.

I do not think that you should blame it on Coinbase.  They pretty much just follow the rules. It is all about systems and regulations.

There are over 14,000,000 Coinbase users. It's one of the easiest systems to use and to purchase crypto currencies. 

Yes, there are occasional problems but there has not been anything extreme, yet.

 People shouldn't use Coinbase as their wallet anyway. Purchase a hardware wallet. If you have a lot of money in crypto currencies, it only makes sense. 

 As far as freedom goes, you will not find freedom outside of the United States of America. In every other country, you can be arrested for saying things people don't want to hear. That hasn't happened here, yet. Unfortunately, if Democrats continue to get elected, freedom of speech won't last long.

The reason people use it still is because Coinbase is perceived as a good place for newbies to start, It allows instant purchase with debit cards after you create an account, and no one else is doing this. Other exchanges like Gemini and Paxful take takes to verify and it's frustrating to feel like you missing out on crucial market swings(even tho when that happens coinbase is likely down any way)
I think Coinbase is a real threat to crypto at this point and if it continues to fail in the ways you outlined t could discourage newbies and scare them off. I'm hoping a competitor to the debit instant transactions feature comes along, so far I havent found one.

Thanks Mr. H.  Your post obviously has stimulated much thought and comment.  I have lost 2 bitcoin trying to send them to Peerplays crowdfunding from Coinbase.

I use bitpanda to buy ETH,LTC and BTC. No downtimes so far and the support is pretty good as well.
The disadvantage of bitpanda is, that the fee cost is pretty high! That has to be the reason why not many people use it...

I couldn't agree with you more, Coinbase is a joke and I hope they shut down to be honest and more reasonable sites take its place.As much money as they pull in they should have all these issues fixed but they don't want to do what most business models do and actually invest back into themselves for their customers.

This is why I got a Bitpay card, no more headaches lol. Just loaded some BTC on their yesterday, did some shopping and smooth as butter lol. Down with COINBASE, I feel you on this very seriously
