They charge high fees though so I always went with the other site they own which is Gdax which charged much lower fees (makes no sense I know) Anyway gdax is now called Coinbase pro so I’m unsure of what Coinbase pro is all about. Maybe another poster will explain. Google about Coinbase and Coinbase pro. Btw Coinbase is completely safe if that’s what your wondering.

There are plenty of intelligent ruthlesss scumbags around, none get a pass for despicable actions just because they're smart. Once their software started landing on the devices of journalists and political dissidents because they were paid for their services, they proudly accepted a paycheck and earned the eternal title 'Nefarious Scum'. No backsies. They'll still carry on being evil pricks and making shedloads of money, won't matter to them either way.
