CB

TXTCLA55

That's the CB.

LazyEcho81

I’m with ING - no issue with CB, CS or Kraken.

LeWahooligan0913

Still just shy of $120k on CB

insiderDEMON

Well you see cold wallet sure is better, all you get there is still online and still associated with your coin base account...and CB cold wallet is shit its still with an app, cb has more like non custodial wallet, not exactly cold wallet, i would suggesting a acctual cold storage hardware wallet to be safe.

mindbodyspirit111

Like on CB they offer their own debit card to transfer your crypto$ to that or is it safer to get the CB cold wallet all together

quantumdotnode

Anyone using CB at this point - like stop it for your own sake. Use HyperLiquid If you need ref link say. On chain. No manipulation

tayTr0n

I’ve gotten burned out of a couple thousand from CB on some weird shiba movement a while back when it was super volatile

pickleBoy2021

First off when I use CB I use limits and have no issues. You realize exchanges buy and sell but you are dealing with a market maker. Yes they have high fees. But they vary depending on volume. You easily had access to Base and could have purchased Aero through their own site.

MichaelAischmann

Check the "new currency that has potential" website. I'm sure they have a "where to buy". CB & Kraken are both ok.

OneForMany

What even made you buy $10 worth? It says ita pretty much 100% of portfolio. So to me it seems like the $10 was maybe some promotional thing for opening a CB account? At least you dumped it all in BTC.

GarlicGoddess2

CB allows you to transfer in and buy immediately, but 7 days to transfer out...I think its to make sure the money clears from your bank. It seems to be the same for cash transfers and BTC to cold wallet transfers.

BigAppleGuy

CB high was $116, 735.

omg_its_dan

Are you using the CB wallet app or the CB exchange app? Either is bad but the wallet is even riskier imo. Yes you have actual bitcoin but you’re one mistake or hack away from losing it all. If you have it on the exchange app then you don’t own any bitcoin, you have an IOU for Bitcoin. I prefer the real thing personally.

Kitchen_Image_1031

CB bank adhoc is free for Wells Fargo and most credit unions. If you use Coinbase Advanced, the fees are very low. And buy/sell contracts execute instantly.  Don’t forget to invest in the frog coin, 🐸 PEPE

Grunblau

Wondering if that same fee is on all CDC apps… like exchange and defi wallet. If they became more legitimate and pro customer, they would have the best platform. Spread is ridiculous. Only thing I ever bought there was CRO for their card which they nerfed before I even received the physical card. One of my posts was actually how to buy CRO on CB pro and transfer in to avoid fees. Sold some MOONS for half of their value when we were kicked off the platform.

Exodust3000

I live in NYC. I use CB then send to cold wallet. Guard keys with my life. There something special about holding your own keys.

DerpyTrader

I now store all my BTC on CB and I have my account locked down with a hardware key. CB offers some protections if you have CB One against unauthorized access and lost of funds, although, I think it is only 10k. I believe in the future there will be FDIC protection like you would see at a normal bank. Hopefully one day! In any case, I have a wallet through Electrum that I stored in for a long time but to be honest, I am actually more worried about storing on a cold wallet compared to CB. But, I am just a paranoid person some times. I think I was worried I was going to lose access to the wallet or my private key etc. People won't like this comment but screw them. Been using CB since 2015. Now, if I were dealing in huge amounts of BTC I would probably use a cold wallet.

RandoDude124

Bro, it’s the same thing you’ve heard over and over: #Put in what you can afford to lose I got money in Ethereum, I’ve cashed out a couple times. Could it be just luck, IMHO, every investment is. However, I invest with purpose and reason. I do not put my entire paycheck into crypto nor into stocks for that matter. Also, Robinhood and CB… I avoid those like the plague.

OnlyBTCs

Damn no idea that was a policy, I’m a CB and Kraken peasant. You may need to chew out support for a few days until their neurons connect and let you skip that part

livando1

1. Direct deposit into cash app 2. Auto invest into CB USDC for dry powder 3. Limit buys at specific trigger points 4. Selling stuff I no longer need 5. Tracking net worth and equity performance, moving low performers into Coinbase

MichaelAischmann

$219k isn't much. However if it rest of the ETH in that wallet is also send to CB we might be in trouble.

JetHeavy

Good, they can see how bad the support at CB is, too.

Angus-420

CB leaked account balance and home addresses. Yes data leaks happen constantly but this is a different level of privacy concern.

Effective_Guard_9463

Was wondering if this is worth it. I dont plan on moving my btc for a year but I do like to trade the peaks/valleys. CB waves all commission under platinum so this isnt that good of a deal. RH wants all the assets

low_contrast_black

They have a tiered fee schedule like other exchanges, but their base is 0.99% (def cheaper than CB), decreasing from there. Also: if you’re doing DCA, Strike waives fees after the first week. Free to transfer too, as long as you’re willing to wait 24hr. On top of your DCA, you can also automate withdrawals with trigger limits.

ConfidentialX

CB is also invested in IXS which launched BTC yield last month (institutional investors only at the moment).

RedneckHippy76

Going to Instagram and Telegram. Can't prove it but I got a wallet hijacked because I want paying attention right at the time I was effing with random DM. She looked hot until I did a reverse image search. Cost me about 1,100 bucks. Tuition for that semester of Crypto State University. I hit the accept button when I was promoted to change my screen name on my CB wallet. I knew I should have backed out and started over but I wasn't focused. The other was I went for a you tube pitch. Cost me 500bucks or so of ETH. Another semester fees to Crypto State University. 🇺🇸🦅

DerpyTrader

I think most people still don't really know anything about it, but it is getting more exposure. Like the internet, or cell phones or personal computers came around, they were not widely adopted for various reasons. My mother brought it up at lunch once because she heard it on the news. I set her up with CB to buy a small amount.

AbbreviationsLive475

Thanks, I totally screwed myself going back to CB to DCA.

AbbreviationsLive475

I get the irony, but my main beef is the cost average of $114,927 that and CB fees... Hurts.

AbbreviationsLive475

Thank you! This is the second time for me to pull off the exchange. But first time DCA weekly. I even tried cancelling the recurring buy but CB cancel button is not working for some reason. Been stacking for 3 years.

Pitiful_Jeweler1325

yea i think that was just an error not gonna get too stoked about it. yea CB wallet is good tho

Emergency_Egg1281

wow , dont know ma Man. Im all CB wallet on the base network. I dont make mistakes on that wallet . But it is on 3 networks , I think polygon and 1 other.

MichaelAischmann

I assume the ETF companies are not on here because they hold their BTC on behalf of the customers? Or because they too use institutional grad custodians such as CB?

Pinewatch762

Coinbase doesn’t list XMR. You have to move your crypto off CB and swap it. And no. They won’t be able to see your swap. Or address. The irs used to have a bounty out that if someone could track XMR, they’d pay out like 600k. No one was ever able to do it

Consistent-Baby5904

i also agree that CB is stupid, that they don't use smart controls to protect users, it should just auto select so it confirms the correct network. dumb, yeah, but still also a very costly mistake you probably won't be making again.

deanerific

>I entered a Kraken ETH deposit address Go to your requests on Coinbase.  What address did you request a withdrawal to? Is that address the same as where the coins currently reside? https://etherscan.io/address/0xde147a8a415be3396099fb643c44d1d0b36bea83 This is a Kraken address.  The first ever tx into it was a seed ETH deposit by Kraken. Your CB withdrawal request will show that address.  Your tokens currently reside on Kraken. If you’re sending BTC on the ETH network because it’s faster you don’t understand how this stuff works so your insistence at being correct does not make you correct.  You clearly made a mistake.

ThatChrisGuy7

When it changed from 2.36 and before it even hit 2.349 I already went in on shorts, down to 2.33 just confirmed my move so yeah. Leverage shorts on CB even a few percent move is decent gains

TopKekistan76

Determining cost basis is insane. Purchases from years ago, various exchanges, wallets, DEX’s… Basically every platform I’ve used has varying in accurate representations of cost basis. If I take profit CB will generate a totally in accurate report and send it to the IRS. My trezor will have a different completely in accurate calculation… The only thing that’s legit is my by hand xcel log yet a a lot of these exchanges/wallets which feel more official will have their own contradicting numbers. Just feels like if you get audited they’re gonna want to lean on these types of platforms reporting but it’s no where near accurate or complete 😬  Honestly part of me dreads taking profit because of this.

kdr2469

Liquidity and alternative means of money creation outside the fed/CB

Bred_Slippy

A thinly veiled attempt to get more people into shitcoins so CB can make more commissions. Yet another reason I won't be touching them with a barge pole. 

RocketBuddha321

Cointracker - couldn’t get that one to work. Importing csv files is a nightmare. Although they have records from CB pro, back from my Celsius days. Crypto tax calculator is a very legit website. They know crypto, and handle offshore exchanges, odd api’s, imported spreadsheets etc. So much better. But missing cost basis from years ago, and mistakes that manually have to be combed through. Have over 400 pages printout from 2024 transactions. I have to trust their site because two potential tax preparers I’ve talked to said it’s 300$ & $400 hour 🤣btm line, “get crypto tax calculator”, learn to navigate. Just finalize my 2024 taxes, huge weight lifting from my shoulders. Hope I never hear from the irs!

Emergency_Egg1281

If you go in CB wallet right now and buy BLAZE , its on fire up 250% today and rising !!!

Jeklah

I had been moving crypto to and from CB for years before they locked my account. I'd move it all out asap, I got lucky. Not much was in there when I switched to crypto.com. I've heard stories where people have lost all their crypto to coin base just locking their account and not saying why.

Sufficient-Day-4894

I’ve been seeing more and more of this and becoming concerned since I’m in the CB boat..what exchange do you use now? Also, did you get flagged/locked after moving crypto out of CB? I just received my cold storage but haven’t done anything yet.

Kitchen_Image_1031

Depends on your strategy.  Figure out what you want to trade first then use the tools to support that concept.  It’s not as easy as you think. Even if you pay the $300 for unlimited access to waived exchange fees on basic, you still need to account for the network contract fees when you’re dealing with larger transactions.  The advanced tools will help you execute trades faster on contract instead of CB defining the contract for you. CB will take their cut no matter what.  Figure out what you want then try it for a month, but don’t get rekt.

It's your money, do it as you wish. Just make sure you understand the risks involved. I don't recommend investing money that you plan on using to buy a house. Reason being, is because nothing is guaranteed. If the price drops possibly signficantly when you need it, you'd regret investing in it and you would've been better off just saving it. Although you could invest in stablecoins like USDC that can generate a decent yield(4%) like on CB or something. I think it's important to have a clear distinction between what you're going to use the money for, investing vs. buying a house. Rule of thumb is invest money that you can lose and not worry about it. You are young. So time is on your side. 10-15 yrs is a long time. But just make sure you understand the risks involved. Nothing is guaranteed. Be sure to diversify your portfolio. BTC, ETH, SOL, SUI. I'd would do heavier on BTC than the rest. Otherwise, look into stablecoins as well. Some of the platform can generate a decent yield. But make sure to understand what they're using your money for. I think that's important as well. Good luck though. Wishing you the best.

LadyBird1281

I use a smaller BTC only platform and have never gotten any scam my texts. Another reason to leave CB, their HORRENDOUS customer service notwithstanding.

LadyBird1281

I would pick something other than CB. Lookup r/Coinbase to see all the the complaints. I use River which is a BTC only platform. I love it. Strike is supposed to be good also but I don't have first hand experience.

Binance, Swissborg, CB Wallet for some shitcoins

flocamuy

Wow! My CB is $63k

AllCapNoBrake

Yup, my CB is $43k.

uncapchad

2018 when CB & Fidelity launched their custodial services. There was an interesting document which took you through security processes for institutional custody and cold storage. They also have their own proprietary security, it's not just Ledger. I'd have to try find that again as it was document not an article. Governments - as I recall there were a couple of States who were using Ledger for authorising access to documents. California might have been one. Was around the same time 2018/19.

Fit-Seaworthiness997

That’s how CB piggies gets their share

MichaelAischmann

>making the attack increasingly expensive You are forgetting who the attacker is. My problem is that a CB would need zero resources out of the physical world. They only need something they can produce themselves at no cost. Now many say ASICs & Energy can be bought with money too & they are right. But both those things have supply constrains that don't play for ETH. I believe these supply constrains will only become greater as time goes on. There just isn't a supply constrain for fiat (except in my wallet).

scrollingthevoid

In the US, I like Kraken. CB has too high fees.

DerpyTrader

Rather have this than American Express or Mastercard. Talk about thieves. At least you can get some BTC. I have been using CB for over a decade so I am biased.

iMen77

Curious: Do you all use CB for recurring? or any other platform? Please advise.

Icabod14

CB Advanced is free - CB One has the fee. You can buy BC without the spread on CB Advanced. You'll still pay the fee but the 1% spread is eliminated.

Reasonable_Band1536

I looked at CB Advanced and if you’re investing more than $2,400/monthly, it’s worth it.

JerryLeeDog

This doesn't matter like people think it does There is no paper bitcoin for these companies that are regulated by SEC. The audits are grueling and spread across dozens of 3rd parties etc. Also, most of MSTR's bitcoin is held by Fidelity, not CB.

drew8311

Same, was curious about some others due to not having some coins on CB but now I have a real reason to move.

MxGundyx

For starting out and keeping in mind a simple and straightforward UI and user experience, I would recommend Kraken Binaunce(Lite mode) And Coinbase. The only caveat is with Coinbase; they’ve had some questionable ethical practices recently, leaking KYC (know your customer) and I wouldn’t trust to leave any amount of money on the exchange. (Also know as an exchange wallet) Primarily for me, I use Kraken to buy KAS and CB to buy Hbar. Most exchanges will have the three titans of Bitcoin, ETH, and SOL. And to my knowledge, you don’t need any amount of money to open an account- they’re all free to do so. Hope this helps!

scottonfire

Stable coins are CB/DC's trojan horse

Fit_Trifle2469

I like that I'm able to do instant deposit from my debit card and not have to wait 5 business days for the transfer to initiate. I don't mind the spreads/fees because I buy and don't sell. I've never had problems with them. Everyone has their preferred brokerage apps, and after constantly being robbed by Coinbase, Robinhood is a walk in the park compared to CB.

Justquestionasker

lol as if the winkledouches company cares any more about your privacy or fucking you over I trust CB 100% more than Gemini

Jpotter145

It's not as good of a deal as it sounds. Read the fine print on Coinbase.com Everyone cuts out this will require a PAID membership to Coinbase One Premium ($299/month) or an annual subscription to Coinbase One Basic ($299/year). Also, the rewards will be based on your current balance on Coinbase of which the details required for each reward tier is not yet announced. As well, it's up to CB discretion on what can be counted for a reward and what will not - and they can decide for any transaction if they want to pay or not. (super shady)

monstargaryen

I’ll try this. I searched white listing and was taken to a link prompting me to sign up for prime. CB is a mess.

JDRCrypt0

If you spend $10,250.00 on the card, that’s $410 back through the 4% to break even. This is very easy to do in HCOL cities. Obviously the value of the BTC you get from the spend fluctuates with the market, but if history continues to repeat itself, that BTC will be worth more within a few years of receipt. Like many others, I spend very little from my checking account and pay off credit cards so I get points to redeem for whatever purpose. I’ll likely be switching to the CB card to increase my BTC holdings along with my DCA and occasional lump sum purchases.

Visible_Exam_5331

No login email from CB. Just a text with a verification number as though someone had tried to access my account and since it wasn’t me I called the number. I should have checked the number online. Or called my friend that got me into crypto in first place. Im stunned by the few amount people that think I’ve created a false story. … wow

godofleet

up to 4% ... on everything ... is a contradiction CB are a bunch of scammers fuck them

Visible_Exam_5331

A text message claiming to be from CB. I fell for it.

WetFartMcGeee

Don’t sleep on the USDC APY (between 4.1-4.5%) depending on the plan. It pays for itself if you keep enough cash in CB which makes sense (for some) if you park it there waiting to buy BTC dips which I was already doing anyway. If you trust CB (they don’t make it easy on themselves lol) to hold your USDC the credit card and CB One pay for themselves. Not for everyone but I’m on board to test it out since the interest easily covers the cost if you have enough cash on the platform. IMO better than just leaving it in a checking account earning nothing.

KingGrowl

So this is only for people who have the 50 dollar a year CB one membership. That would mean you would need to spend 1000 on this card a year in order to start actually earning anything? Bleh.

spid3rfly

I'm still surprised that he hasn't stepped down. He made his money, and he makes comments in interviews here and there, so he's very much a bitcoiner. CB just makes money off fees for all the transactions that go through their platform. I would've thought he made his money... leave and work on something else.

amtib00

Use fold instead. A better bitcoin company than CB

Myth_Mula

It’s routine for me to immediately take self custody after making any purchase of BTC on CB. Prayers 🕊️✨

CB stands for central bank. Bank of America is not a central bank.

BlackDog990

Just because I didnt see it mentioned, if someone calls you and seems legit, you can always get off the call, goto CB website, and call that number and ask if they were trying to get ahold of you. But as others have said there is zero% chance it's legit the moment they ask you to move funds. No legit call would result in that situation.

Sin-City-Sinner

49¢ is now $89, I hate CB, but I love hearing that hehehehe! Of course I’m curious… of course, what coin went from 49¢ to $89 that you left on there/how long did that take?

Crazy_Tooth1858

Maybe so, but you knowingly broke their TOS, which paint a pretty clear picture regarding gambling. It would be like complaining that CB closed your account because they found you using funds to buy illegal drugs off the darknet. So the gist is, if you want INSTANT, you're going to need to be paying a premium and/or wire with the fee. Or hop on the next exchange and wait the 7 days and start planning your buys accordingly for the hold.

Kos3__

You would probably need massive inflows from institutionals or CB starting to add it into reserves, while i think it is possible for next few years, such amounts of money wont be raised till end of this year imo

RedneckHippy76

Don't pay attention to the H8Rs. You're asking newbie questions. That's fair. I have a CB wallet and an account on Coinbase. I also have a Phantom wallet ( in case I feel like donating to somebody's charity 🤣) Folks are kinda sorta ruffled over childish things here Only way you learn is by experimenting. Trial and error . All the purists will say "not your keys, not your tokens ( whatever it is) Myself, I'm better off with the exchange. I had one wallet hacked because I wasn't paying attention. So you have some options I bought one of those Ledger Nano X thingamajigs but it's so small not to mention I need a magnifying glass to read the display. The Crypto Sphere is very unforgiving when it comes to mental errors Don't worry about the down votes. There are usually 2 or 3 humans out here and they will answer with legitimate replies based on their experience (s) Don't reply to unsolicited DMs, unless you recognize them. Anyway, I didn't read past the downvote observation. I will. Good Luck 🇺🇸🦅

Grunblau

If Coinbase, be sure to use advanced mode and use a limit order set to post only for the best deal. If it is off the radar BTC, consider P2P or swapping on a DEX for USDC and send to Coinbase or RH. Right now, I’d probably choose RH with holds some people are seeing over at CB.

Goodness_Beast

First, buy a cold wallet. I'd recommend any Trezor Bitcoin-device. Then, Withdraw/Send from RH/CB to that.

Myth_Mula

CB & Trezor

DeepFawkes

Literally spend what you’d save in fees in a hardware wallet. It’s only a matter of time. Keeping a CB account is like playing Russian roulette with a revolver you are adding a bullet to each round.

Etherainian

a solution to all CB users' problems: dont use CB, many better alternatives available

Emergency_Egg1281

Get a CB wallet and transfer ETH. then you buy the hot meme coins all others are buying. Check the charts often and keep swapping to the one thats going up. As soon as you are up over 50 % look to swap again. This is the only way to make a 1000% return these days. DM me and I will tell you more and how to do it. I was poor , now im middle class !

Myth_Mula

I do too but my options in NYC are very limited unfortunately I do my business and immediately self custody I don’t trust CB

definitelymaybe98

I can only speak for CB cause that’s all I’ve ever used I don’t know if it’s the same on other platforms. CB would charge 99p for a £5 purchase but only £1.99 for a £35.

Broad_Witness_1871

I haven't been scammed. Next time read my comments all the way through. I told people watch out for fake coins being deposited in CB wallets.... Chill out

Additional-Menu-8764

Nope. I get less sats per dollar every time I have tried this. If you are going to go this route, NEVER sell your whole stack only 20% tops but I dont recommended it at all. Just dca on a regular basis and fund an advanced trading platform with some usdc (i use CB) and put in a buy orders in increments along the way to a lower price target to capture large dips. (Best strategy imo)

luftgitarrenfuehrer

> After the recent CB hack people should take more steps to protect their privacy. Running your UTXOs through a mixer does absolutely fucking nothing to un-leak your name, home address, email address, and SSN. The only thing using a mixer does to your UTXOs is to commingle them with drug dealers' UTXOs, North Korean UTXOs, scammers' UTXOs, and other dumbfucks' UTXOs. Enjoy being banned from exchanges because your funds look like they might have come from a kidnapping ransom case.

Dimi1706

OP please pay attention to what he just said! 1. Take control of your mums CB account 2. Report it to the police 3. Report it to Binance/Bybit and ask for an account freeze and mention that this value got transferred due to a crime and that the police got involved. 4. Hope that Binance is helpful, police is acting quickly and the scammer is stupid and didn't transferred the value to a cold wallet.

Chris_Apex_NC

My cold wallet is transactionally linked to CB and Strike. I don't think relatively small transactions out of my cold wallet would get me in trouble with the IRS at this point. But eventually with AI govt monitoring of the blockchain will get very good. I suppose running a node for transactions and coin mixers could help. But always vulnerable if using KYC at point of purchase.

InsuranceGuyQuestion

Holy fucking shit. Dude you have to immediately take control of her CB account ASAP. That 1.5 mil is sadly gone, but you can save her from the rest. Jesus christ man this is mindboggling what I'm seeing.
