coinbase is a licenced exchange that can be trusted. I lost a little above 74,000 on the platform but after receiving a refund through assetstrail.tech, i was made to realize that i fell victim to a fraudulent broker that isn't with the coinbase company.

I am surprised to see this amount of complaints about the coinbase. This is the best and one of the safest place to exchange the cryptos.

Sometimes it takes a bit of a time to process the request but still I am using it more than an year and had no major issue with it.

Overall, Coinbase is reliable but there is room for improvement.
For example, instant buying through cards don't go throw 9/10 times so you have to use bank transfer which can take 1-3 days and by then the Coin prices have changed. Another downside is that they didn't actually pay out the "refer a friend" bonus. The referred friend got his bonus though so at least it's something...
For people who are just getting started, Coinbase is a trusted exchange and despite the limited Coins offered at least you get a good start without getting ripped off.

I have just backed out my original investment and still have 200% of original investment in my account. Their verification process is supposed to prevent scams from happening. Try again maybe?

Coinbase $#*!ing scammed me and stole my money. I almost gave up on cryptocurrencies until I came across furcoins.com where I successfully bought over $10,000 worth bitcoins and I got the bitcoins in less than 24 hours.

Coinbase seems like a more trustworthy and stable alternative to MtGox if you are a business that wants to accept bitcoins or if you are an individual who wishes to purchase bitcoins. The downside of Coinbase appears to be that if you wish to remain anonymous I don't think Coinbase is going to do much to help.

Question:
Answer:

Maybe you should try the team at Assetstrail, my colleague had his account hacked and his funds stolen on coinbase but was able to recover it with assetstrail.tech. He later realized that his funds were stolen as a result of his carelessness and not coinbase's

Question:
Answer:

You guys deal with the crooks. They exchange your hard currency to their bitcoins and you loose part of your money because these crooks play with exchange rates. After I sent them $86 to pay for my medicine I found only $72 left on my account there. So, I lost my medicine.

I'd email again. With companies that do not give out their phone number, you need to repeat your request for answers via email. Squeeky wheel gets the grease.

Question:
Answer:

The thing is people generally only write a review if they got cheated. And thus from all the reviews (not just this site) you can tell that they screwed over a lot of people (including me). Let's say that 95% of people have a good experience with the site, what about the remaining 5%. If a company is not loyal to all its customers then that company should not exist, especially a company dealing with money. My advice is, stay away from them. Use localbitcoins to trade and bitgo to store, way better and more secure.

Question:
Answer:

They try to compete with prices of local traders causing them to lose money because of the volatility of bitcoin. To save themselves they go offline, delay transactions, etc and wait for the bitcoin price to turn in their favor before they send you your money. Classic bitcoin company scheme, stay way from them at all cost. Use localbitcoin, way better.
