I recommend the shit hole that is Coinbase to frens I've just Orangepilled because despite Brians propensity to turn off his servers during a bull run, they do at least hold onchain verified funds for the ETFs.

They are like the banks that are too big to fail.

I am actually advising one fren to keep his coins ON coinbase because he is not capable of operating a hardware wallet yet (and may never be).

Remember, it will never be possible for 8 billion people to self custody. 

 How so? If you can withdraw … 

I’ve used Coinbase in the early days and that was probably the point where a lot of people joined the network. 

 My point is that, if you abstract away certain things (like private keys, for example), you destroy what makes the thing great in the first place.
