Why do so many people hate Coinbase?

[Vivace92]

Because it's their customer support is poor. They can't afford enough customer service or something. They've always seemed to have difficulty working on the tickets they get.

I think not.
I don't think it all, I like the coinbase wallet and still I use. Coinbase is a wallet that I use other than blockchain. A nice feature and now there's been a wallet for etherium, I'll keep coinbase because sending and receiving free coins.

[STFU!]

Not really, although coinbase didn't supporting buy and sell in my country. i am still using it until now. so far. enjoying low fees (i know it will going slowly transfer) they are offered based on bitcoin transfer.

I did not really hate coinbase but my friend really hates it.  hey bought bitcoin from coinbase but that time there were some error in coinbase. My friend purchase wasnt successful and I think my friends money has been hi-jacked. There were some issues like my friend , Until now the bitcoin that supposed to be his is now wasn't in his hand

[ImHash]

So they are free or very low on fees? never had the pleasure working with them but seems like federal government is bullying them to take control over the clients information, lol I think the masters of our world are slowly realizing that they don't have any control regarding usage of bitcoin.
Things like this makes me to believe more in satoshi's vision.

The transaction fees are way higher than other exchanges. The other thing is many get banned because of using it for gambling purposes which is at their rules to not do it. Problem is they didnt read first the terms of agreement. Actually we can send money for gambling just dont abuse it or you will certainly lose your account.

yeaaa they want to rule the US bitcoin user through coinbase , unfortunately they failed.
then they just devastate coinbase rules without having rule its user to comply with the law that they have created.
so far the government seemslike tired and just let coinbase broken.

Same as yours i didnt have any problems on coinbase infact imve been using it for how many months now and i dont experience problems at all.Maybe there would be small bugs or technical troubles which i didnt know and maybe those person who hates it are those who live on us because of the restriction that have been given.

[Dudeperfect]

I am not sure as I don’t usually trade using coinbase but from the experiences of other coinbase users from this community, I think that coinbase is trying to control the spending of the users. They don’t want us to spend or send bitcoins in the areas which are beyond their permission and they simply close the account if we try to do the transactions which are prohibited from doing. I think they do not want to meet any legal trouble because of any unusual transaction.

Actually I also confuse, coinbase is the first wallet I had, and i keep on using it until now, I think it got a good security and protection, many people said that coinbase was stealing money, their fund suddenly disappear and seems like the customer support also can't give any solution to that people, maybe that is the reason coinbase is label as a scam site

I've never had a problem with them from buying with them through the years and don't really see the source of all the hate for the company. Could anyone go ahead and provide some insight into why people hate it?

Thanks.

I tried to signed in coinsbase but when it is done, this exchange is not affiliated in most country, only few countries. therefore my country is not consider to their site. So I found out its not good anyway,

It is not necessary that Coinbase must have buy/sell support in your country before You can sign up to use the wallet. Even If Buy/Sell was enabled in your country, I'm certain you won't use it because The buy rates might be slightly higher than normal rates. Aside Buy/Sell support, Coinbase offers the basic necessity of a bitcoin wallet including — A bitcoin wallet for storing Btc, Send/Receive option & additional security via 2 Factor Auth.

And that is major thing people dont actually hate Coinbase, its their services that is being hated. One thing that is being paramount in the soul of business is never for whatever reason lose touch with the clients because the moment that is happening, then that is the beginning of the end and immediately this is happening and nothing is being done or what is being done is not enough to arrest the declining situation.

[QuestionAuthority]

Coinbase is only for murricans and murricans have stopped using Bitcoin as much as they did when it was new and trendy, edgy, cool. Face it, Bitcoin became popular because young murricans were using Silk Road to have the USPS ship drugs to them. With Silk Road gone and the replacements being LEO traps or scammers the murricans have less use for Bitcoin. It's ok though because we still have the Chinese day traders keeping Bitcoin moving up. Coinbase should be failing without enough murricans that want bitcoin.

[fasdorcas]

i don't said any thing about it because i never use it but i think no other coin or cryptocurrency is better than bitcoin..... i think it is the best , most used and most popular currency online and it is gaining popularity day by day so if you compare it with bitcoin i think bitcoin is way better than it or any other ........

Coinbase failed because when their users make a trade, and three days later a big gain on exchange rate, Coinbase produces and 'error' that reverses the trade.  Total dishonesty.  Why the fuck would anyone use Coinbase?  It is just another scam.  A trade is a trade.  The deal is done.  If there is an 'error' then it is Coinbases' loss not the client.  They have a different strategy and theirs produces huge profits for their own pockets at the expense of their customers.  Stealing your customer's money through trickery isn't such a clever business plan.  This only happened to me once.  About $200 lost.  Stealing $200 puts you out of business.  Bye, bye Coinbase.  Stupid fuckers.

Fire the employees, clean up the shop, turn out the lights.  That shit is over.  No faith in the community, no business.

I don't hate Coinbase, but yeah I came across with issues, which were sometimes annoying. Like high fees, and mostly because it doesn't supports local transaction in my country, so I face some issues.

[soul-impact]

There are several issues with Coinbase which are apparently unsolved. In general, Bitcoin is created for the anonymity and it is wrong to open a third party company which holds Bitcoin for users. Many Bitcoin experts do not like or support this idea although that Coinbase is getting stronger every day. Moreover, Coinbase does not allow users to gamble or involve in any gambling activities and they will immediately close your account if you are found breaking the rule for several times

[The Sceptical Chymist]

Not only the fact they charge a high rate to buy bitcoin from them their wallet sucks. They close your account with funds in them, it doesn't matter to them, if they deem you are sending "your bitcoins" to sites that they deem are not up to code to them. According to their TOS if you are violating any of their rules they will close your account and freeze your funds without notice to you until it is too late.
So you still have to ask why there is so much hate for a capitalist pig type of mentally in the bitcoin world?
They have grown to big  they think they have the right to dictate laws to impose onto the bitcoin user who uses them as an option, and there are so many other options outthere who will not do this to you and your bitcoins.
Ever heard of coinjar? They are way better than this con company is.

This.  I really miss Circle, and it's so unfortunate they got out of the bitcoin business.  They were so easy to use for buying bitcoin.

Coinbase closed my account with no reason given, just a form-letter e-mail sent to me.  I never found them convenient to use, and they definitely charged fees that were too high.  But honestly I'd go back to them, because I haven't found a better place to buy bitcoin with fiat.  Goddamn you, Circle!

[greentea]

Coinbase works fine until it doesn't.

The  problem is, people happy with a service rarely come out and give praise.  But when something goes wrong
individuals are much more likely to vent and leave a negative review online. 

I've used coinbase on and off over the years, and haven't had any issues.  There's just not many alternatives
going BTC <--> USD

[bitkilo]

I used to have a Coinbase wallet a few years ago when i was new but it was pretty much useless to me back then because Coinbase did not yet operate their exchange side of the business in my country.

Just google Coinbase and i am sure you will find many reasons why people don't like them, at one stage it seemed like every week there was a new thread here "Coinbase closed my account"
