Hey Rom, thanks for the comment.
I go with Coinbase for beginners because the UI is so easy to use. It’s a nice intro to crypto if you know nothing about the space.
Once people are more familiar, I introduce them to other options — GDAX (which has free BTC trading if you know how to do it right), Bittrex, Binance, Shapeshift, etc. I’ve found that directing people to those immediately is confusing and more likely to lead to their losing money. Which I never want.
Thanks for reading!
