Used For

• +**You're manually tracking crypto prices on 12 different websites** → Set price alerts and get notified when Bitcoin hits your buy/sell targets
• +**Your crypto sits on exchanges that might get hacked** → 98% of funds stored offline in vaults, plus biometric login protection
• +**You're missing out on earning interest while crypto just sits there** → Stake Ethereum or Solana and earn 4-6% annually while you hold
• +**You spend hours figuring out wallet transfers and gas fees** → Built-in wallet handles the technical stuff automatically
• +One-click buying with your debit card or bank account — no wire transfers or waiting days for deposits

Best For

• >You want to buy Bitcoin without ending up on a sketchy exchange that might disappear tomorrow
• >Your company needs to hold crypto assets but nobody wants to become the office crypto expert
• >You tried other exchanges and got overwhelmed by charts that look like NASA control panels

Not For

• -Day traders making dozens of small trades — fees will eat 1-4% of every $50 transaction and kill your profits
• -Crypto veterans who want access to 1,000+ obscure coins — Coinbase only lists about 250 popular ones
• -Companies outside the US needing local currency support — limited fiat options and regulatory restrictions

Pairs With

• *PayPal (connects directly for instant purchases without linking bank accounts)
• *Ledger (hardware wallet where you transfer crypto for maximum security)
• *TurboTax (automatically imports your crypto transactions for tax reporting)
• *Stripe (if you're a business that wants to accept crypto payments)
• *Google Sheets (where you'll inevitably track your crypto portfolio obsessively)
• *Slack (where your team will debate whether to put company cash into Bitcoin)

The Catch

• !Fees add up fast on small purchases — that $100 Bitcoin buy costs $101.49, but a $20 buy costs $21.99
• !You'll need to verify your identity and wait 1-7 days before you can withdraw anything
• !The basic interface hides the cheaper Advanced Trade features — you have to know to look for lower fees

Bottom Line

The training wheels for crypto — you'll pay extra fees for the hand-holding, but you won't accidentally lose your life savings.
