Title: Coinbase Question - Default Wallet
Post by: Didley1JT on August 31, 2017, 09:27:02 PM
Is there a way to change my Coinbase settings so that when I buy BTC it immediately goes into my Blockchain.info wallet? Right now I have to buy with Coinbase (paying a fee) and then if I want it in my Blockchain wallet I have to pay another fee.

You have no choice but to deal with the sending fees. As far as my knowledge is concerned, there is no collaboration between Coinbase and Blockchain. Blockchain is not an exchange company in the first place where you can buy and sell bitcoin.

Why you want to transfer it in Blockchain? If you plan to hold bitcoin for long, try to buy on greater quantity to avoid fees. If not then just Coinbase directly.

Thanks. I'll stick with the Coinbase wallet for now then.
