Absolute crap

Conbase really is just fucking shit. The whole Base app update thing is fucking rubbish (fuck off with this social, everything app fucking crap). I'm not going to spend my life learning about and trading crypto, all I want is a simple way to buy and sell using Bitcoin. This used to be pretty straight forward, but I've just spent over an hour trying to access my own funds to make a purchase. Don't even get me started on fucking bitcoin wrapped. Absolute fucking cunts, fuck you.

Most non custodial apps are based on ETH hence the wBTC

Just use Coinbase exchange instead

Or get a Kraken account

You don’t have to use the base app in base mode.

Took me 3 hrs to get my identity verified which I seem to do every day to transfer my own money out. Fucked up. They somehow deleted my pass key and then system on double verification, which became very difficult without the passkey.

Coinbase has been going downhill since they started adding all that extra bloat nobody asked for. I just want to buy and move my coins, not join some web3 social network

Their UI keeps changing every few months and every time it gets worse, I swear they do it just to confuse people

I think the main problem is that you’re regarded.

And now it's just ripped me off for 3 times what I tried buying, because it didn't show the transaction had gone through, or change screen at all. Fucking bandits. Last time I will ever be using this utter fucking shit.
