I am going to put this out here because it is my duty to warn you. Coinbase is awesome, especially if you link your bank account to it which will gain you not only a btc wallet but also a USD wallet. Why does that matter? Because you can transfer dollars to your usd wallet and the value will not fluctuate no matter how long you park it there and once the funds are cleared you can INSTANTLY buy and send btc. They also have a very low 1.5 percent btc buy fee when you do this. So where is the warning? If you send your btc to Demon Dan or some wallet that they find to be sketchy they will ban your account for suspicious activity and good luck to you finding another company to match their pricing and features so the thing to do is get a third party anonymous wallet and ALWAYS send your btc there first and then pay your vendor from that wallet, totally shields your coinbase account. Yeah, I know, many of you have always paid coinbase > vendor and never had an issue. This is true until it finally happens. Search the internet for "coinbase account banned for suspicious activity" and see how many whiners and regrets are out there. This concludes my Ted talk.
