I think Coinbase is no longer a good place to hold bitcoin.
nothing has changed! Coinbase has never been a good place to hold bitcoin from the day it started.
which is what i find absurd about these
temporary social media storms. every now and then (similar to proof-of-coins time each year) people take to the social media and start complaining then after a very short time they go back to whatever they were doing before and forget about all of that.
the worst part is that ALL centralized exchanges are more or less alike. singling out one seems more like having an agenda against that particular company. otherwise they are all working with 3 letter agencies and worse. if they weren't then they would have been shut down a long time ago just like how btc-e was.
most centralized exchanges are of course working for the government as they are getting licensed under their Central Bank. So it is actually not a surprise that they are working with those agencies. Even your local crypto exchange is under the government's supervision because they need to get their license before they can operate. but coinbase is really showing a lot of cons lately, like the shutting down of their site when bitcoin starts to rise and many others. anyway, as a crypto user, you have a lot of choices not to use such exchange. there are a lot better than them and like BNB, they don't require KYC if you are dealing with 2btc below. So that's a good deal already for a small-medium crypto user.
