Your capital is at risk.
Been buying and selling bitcoins via Coinbase for years, even back when the price was very low. Unfortunately never kept my hands on all of my bitcoins but I have repeatedly made profits. Sometimes the transaction fees are a bit high, because the bitcoin network is busy. It's advisable to wait for a while until the network quietens down. This can make a different of a couple of euros for each transaction. It's a shame you can't set the transaction fees yourself, or change them. It is however free of charge to send your bitcoins to other Coinbase users.
The site is sometimes very slow when I'm looking to trade in bitcoins. If you don't add servers eventually I will move to another platform. The transaction fees are also far too high. Not satisfied with Coinbase in the past weeks. It feels like the more customers they get, the worse the service becomes.
Bought Bitcoin as well as Ethereum with Coinbase, on the recommendation of a friend. If you invite friends yourself you can earn an extra 10 dollars per invite who also buys Bitcoins. I've earned 150 dollars on bitcoins this way. If you want to create an account with Coinbase, use my link and we both get 10 dollars discount.
I accidentally sent money to the wrong address. Contacted Coinbase customer service straightaway and luckily the account belonged to Coinbase so they were able to transfer it back. Thank you Coinbase, I was afraid my money was gone for good. So double check to make sure that when you send bitcoin you enter the correct address.
The website is set up very easily, everything is very clear even to a beginner like myself. Today I bought bitcoins for the first time. I paid with credit card and the bitcoins were visible instantly. I'm going to make my first purchase with a bitcoin shortly.
It took a while but Coinbase finally received my bank transfer. It took up to 7 days before they got my money and I got my bitcoin. I recommend to pay by PayPal or credit card rather than using bank transfer. Within a week bitcoin went up by 10% so I got a lot less bitcoins for my money than I'd originally counted on a week earlier. I sent an email to customer service requesting compensation but they wouldn't assist me with this. In future I'm going to use my credit card to buy bitcoin, which means you receive them in your wallet straightaway.
