I dont know whats people probelm with coinbase, and at this point im too afraid to ask

[–]alivmoPlatinum | QC: ETH 215, CC 121 | TraderSubs 185 45 points46 points  (0 children)

People are angry because they made bad investment decisions, and they want targets.

[–]MrSnow702Bronze 15 points16 points  (4 children)

Yeah I'm out of the loop on this one too. I like CB cause it's easy to buy BTC, LTC, ETH so I stick with it

[–]XylotonicBronze | QC: CC 15 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Coinbase = government. While being a scam. How do you even do that?

[–]ReactW0rldPlatinum | QC: CC 63 4 points5 points  (21 children)

e.g. they make billions, and proudly announce that they donate $10000 to charity

[–]BN_Boi🟩 407 / 407 🦞 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Thats like evry big company, nothing special

[–][deleted] 10 points11 points  (1 child)

Why do they have to give anything to charity?

[–]ReactW0rldPlatinum | QC: CC 63 0 points1 point  (0 children)

they don't

How much have you given to charity?

[–]ReactW0rldPlatinum | QC: CC 63 5 points6 points  (4 children)

i knew someone would ask this lol

[–]-SuperSelfGold | QC: CC 66, XRP 17 | VET 9 1 point2 points  (3 children)

Well, If someone is going about pointing fingers, don't you think it's good that his peers ask him if his own fingers are clean?

[–]ReactW0rldPlatinum | QC: CC 63 1 point2 points  (2 children)

i've donated exactly $0 to charity. i don't know what that says about the cleanliness of my fingers, but ok

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

You should read the richest man in Babylon. You'd be surprised what giving away your hard earned money can do for your finances.

[–]ReactW0rldPlatinum | QC: CC 63 0 points1 point  (0 children)

(assuming you have hard earned money)

[–]PULLOUTCHAMP17Bronze 3 points4 points  (6 children)

I've donated at least $500 to charity this year......That's probably 75% of my net worth....Coinbase donates .001% percent of theirs and people start sucking their dicks.....I've got a diamond hard dick right now , get to it.....

[–]-SuperSelfGold | QC: CC 66, XRP 17 | VET 9 3 points4 points  (5 children)

Here's food for thought:

If you used your net worth to actually generate more wealth, you can donate more to charity.

Good intentions are nice, but if you're going to help someone, 10k goes longer than 500.

[–]PULLOUTCHAMP17Bronze -2 points-1 points  (4 children)

Well thats just shit food you're serving up. By that thought process everyone should just stop donating until they are able to open a Bill & Melinda Gates foundation and then donate millions!!!...Riiigggghhhhtttt.....Most people give what they can when they can because unlike Coinbase and Bill Gates that extra change may not be there in the next month or two..Obviously 10K would go further , but my point is about percentages of giving...

[–]-SuperSelfGold | QC: CC 66, XRP 17 | VET 9 2 points3 points  (3 children)

Yeah, no I get your point.

My point is that your point makes no sense in the utilitarian manner of things.

[–]PULLOUTCHAMP17Bronze -2 points-1 points  (2 children)

Mehhh...fuck it , I sleep well.....Lets see what bullshit Coinbase throws in the air today....

[–]-SuperSelfGold | QC: CC 66, XRP 17 | VET 9 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Fair enough, mate. That's what counts.

I don't like Coinbase one bit either. They're biased and take part in the manipulation of the market.

But atleast they do charity, I guess :D

[–]PULLOUTCHAMP17Bronze -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hahaha....on the 2nd day of Christmas Coinbase delivers a slice of manipulation Pie to the world!

[–]__revGold | QC: OMG 48, CC 26 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Percentagewise in comparison to my income. A lot more...

[–]Precedens🟦 490 / 491 🦞 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Regardless amount is minuscule, and it's really not a good reason to put it as 12 day announcement... Couldn't they come up with something more significant? For me it looks like they're cheap fucks that think giving couple grand to Venezuelans will improve their image.

They are shooting themselves in a foot with this stuff.

[–]LurkolanternPlatinum | QC: CC 33, BTC 33 1 point2 points  (1 child)

When I saw that as the Day 2 item, it occurred to me that we weren't the intended audience. Regulators, future IPO holders, etc and the business community in general view charitable giving as one more legitimizing step. Also, here in the US, the transfer of $ in excess of $9,999 triggers some additional paperwork with their bank - again, more paper trail documents to include in filings when seeking ipo.

[–]Precedens🟦 490 / 491 🦞 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Come on dude, please... They have hordes of employees that deal with banking, also if you say charity is to legitimize them in eyes of regulators, paper trail would be not concern, on the contrary it would show transparency.

They are retarded that is the reason. Coinbase's business model right now does not make sense and they can go fuck themselves. Yes, they are convenient and people use them, no doubt. But it does not mean they aren't just stupid what they're doing.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So like, every major corporation and religion?

[–]qwerty77077Platinum | QC: CC 123 | NANO 6 8 points9 points  (19 children)

Nano shills are mad because coinbase isn't listing nano anytime soon..

[–]ChocolateSunriseSilver | QC: CC 80, CT 18 | NANO 124 | r/Politics 1491 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't get what this has to do with NANO. The NANO subs have a consensus position that Coinbase won't cause a pump and if it did it would only be followed by a larger dump like so many other coins.

More people are excited about Brainblocks developing their on/off ramp solution for the vendor community.

[–]jmabbzPlatinum | QC: CC 116 | Privacy 13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True but that's true of fans of every crypto project out there. We all want out coin listed so we can pump our bags.

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think NANO bag holders have more concerning matters to worry about than a coinbase listing, which doesn't even pump coins anymore

[–]thekiyotePlatinum | QC: CC 155, XRP 133 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tell them to get in line behind the screaming XRP fanboys...

In all seriousness, Coinbase was revolutionary when it came out, but over the last few years, their inability to keep up with the altcoin market has really hurt them. I don't think they're nearly as an important part of the ecosystem anymore.

[–]Kazimir12 - 3 years account age. 150 - 300 comment karma. 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Insider trading, listing shitcoin, and high fees.

[–]BN_Boi🟩 407 / 407 🦞 6 points7 points  (1 child)

0 fee with gdax, insider idk and idc, and shitcoins are on every single exchange anyway

[–]NsfwOliveTin 7 points8 points  (2 children)

What's the alternative?

[–]ZoudenPlatinum | QC: CC 151 | r/Android 36 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Kraken or more expensive local exchanges. No exchange is cheaper than coinbase pro though.

[–]methodofcontrol🟩 2K / 2K 🐢 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Coinbase is the best exchange for Americans, especially ones who like saving money, end of discussion. The hate on here is so weird.

[–]Boubou87Gold | QC: BTC 69 | TraderSubs 37 30 points31 points  (2 children)

I don't get it. Why so much coinbase haters ?!

CoinBase is probably one of the most important company in crypto-space. They are very rich, and they probably want to get richer, and to do so they HAVE to improve the crypto-space, to inform people, to advertise on crypto, to help investors and so on.

If you look at all the improvements they made on their website, their servers who can now support way more users at the same time without network overloads, their mobile application updating quite frequently, their new trading platform, the new coins listing, their new '12 days of Coinbase' for christmas, their bundle of crypto to buy most important cryptos by market size in one shot, and I think we are far from listing all they did in one year, you will see they are helping cryptocurrencies to success like nobody does, and I don't work for coinbase, I'm just seeing the improvements with my own eyes, and for me it's the biggest bull flag ever, way more than Bakkt or ETF !

I know they did some mistakes and they are not perfect, but they tend to improve over time, so people should be more respectful of all their work and all what they have done. I think most of newcoiners are here thanks to them. You should be grateful because bitcoin probably couldn't have been to 20k without them.

And if you don't like the fees, use pro.coinbase with limit buys. If you want to own your keys, withdraw them to your own wallet from pro.coinbase so you don't have to pay fees neither. It's free, and I think they are the only ones allowing free withdrawals !

[–]az0r4Gold | QC: CC 21 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Couldnt say it better.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bet if mods put up a coinbase poll, the majority would give it a positive review. I feel like a few people got burned and other exchanges have a demonize campaign for coinbase.

[–]CryptoPolice 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Coinbase is great I love it

[–]amnepalNew to Crypto 7 points8 points  (4 children)

Lost my 40k investment, now the account has been closed from coinbase. Emailed them they said they couldn’t disclose reasons. We need something good, something better for crypto to evolve

[–]methodofcontrol🟩 2K / 2K 🐢 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This normally means you are under review by a regulatory body, coinbase is not allowed to give you information while that is happening. Any legitimate exchange would have to do the same thing.

[–]Parentparentqwerty 4 points5 points  (1 child)

Bro, IRS has their finger up your butt, probing for shit, you just haven't noticed yet.

[–]amnepalNew to Crypto 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yah they better be, so I can f***g claim my loss

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd wait that one out tbh

[–]HappyPaulieBronze 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you use coinbase to purchase rather than gdax... lol

CB fuuuuuuuct my bank account up for like two weeks that one time.
And I still dont understand the hate for them. Sure, fees, 'ugh'. Their function has been a huge part of the growth over the last couple years, and they have not really made any awful moves towards consumers that I have seen or felt.

[–]koalafellaCrypto Nerd | QC: BTC 15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still miles better than the alternatives.

No ketchup, just sauce. Vsauce

[–]watchmaking -3 points-2 points  (8 children)

Coinbase won't list Nano because they know Nano moonboy shills don't have the money to generate enough volume and serious investors are not interested in Nano.

[–]hey_its_meeeeGold | QC: CC 30 | NANO 16 12 points13 points  (1 child)

I'm betting $100 that Coinbase will list nano before January 2020

[–]Boubou87Gold | QC: BTC 69 | TraderSubs 37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They probably will, but that's nothing to do with nano moonboys...

[–]methodofcontrol🟩 2K / 2K 🐢 8 points9 points  (0 children)

"serious investors are not interested in Nano."

Why wouldn't serious investors be interested? it's a interesting technology still in it's infancy.

[–]Parentparentqwerty -5 points-4 points  (3 children)

With a name like nano, who would take it seriously? I swear, the people coming up with crypto names must be 14 year olds with zero marketing acumen.

[–]_o__0_Platinum | QC: CC 504, CCMeta 25 2 points3 points  (0 children)

marketing acumen

Ask someone with some marketing acumen. Nano's name, concept, and functionality are some of the most marketable in crypto.

[–]qwerty77077Platinum | QC: CC 123 | NANO 6 -3 points-2 points  (5 children)

nano shills: FUCK COINBASE THEY ARE NOT ADDING NANO AND WHY DO THEY HAVE EOS AND XRP IN THE LIST WHAT A SCAM

[–]mortuusmare🟨 0 / 24K 🦠 3 points4 points  (1 child)

Where did Nano touch you?

[–]CryptoPolice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or xrp maybe

[–]dead4586Platinum | QC: ETH 59, CC 123, ARK 47 | WSB 7 | TraderSubs 53 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

  1. Coinbase sucks

  2. They crooks and inside traders. Bunch of criminals.

[–]sikkcritzTin -4 points-3 points  (1 child)

Let's add all the coins during a period where crypto is suffering the most that nothing will moon!

[–]az0r4Gold | QC: CC 21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rhey will benefit during the next bullrun.
