Coinbase got a wee bit of bad news [BITCOIN]

Yeah, ok no links in the title.

This article totally rips on coinbase, and justifiably so. I've said for years now, it's a honey pot and they're under supervision by the US government. Do NOT buy any coins using your FULLZ.

Mind you, there is a lot of disinfo and FUD, so don't take all of this for absolute truth.

If you're buying coins for nefarious expenditures, move them to an intermediate wallet before sending to your DNM of choice. If you're bitching about an exchange stealing your funds, you're probably not being smart. You certainly shouldn't care if the exchange is in cahoots with LE if you're OPSEC is on point.

An American banking institute doing shady things. What a shock. Never let someone else control your private keys and you'll never have any problem with a government entity seizing your bitcoins.

From the Coinbase reviews page of Highya.com:

WARNING: Stay away from Coinbase: Coinbase is a site of criminal thieves that will steal your money. Stay away! Coinbase is not to be trusted. As with many other complaints I have seen, they have lost/stolen from me as well, they have no phone number posted anywhere to contact them, they will not answer to any complaints you have from the website, or if they do eventually answer to a problem from the website after several weeks, they will just tell you there is nothing they can do. I am contacting any and every review site I can find to warn as many people as I possibly can. I am opening a case with the Better Business Bureau, and any other authority I can contact. Do not use Coinbase; stay away! Coinbase said they no longer can operate in Hawaii. Ok, I can deal with that. They said to liquidate and get your money. Well, I’ve been going in circles to do just that, and it is NOT HAPPENING. POOR, poor service. Beware, I wouldn’t trust them with any other funds, I can’t even get back my $140+ USD. Sad. I only got 5.54 BTC out when I had to “close out” to an external wallet on May 17th, 2017. The send back from BLOCKCHAIN on the 15th was stollen, netting the scamming Coinbase 1BTC or $1,700 off of me for some rule breaking they never named as I was ONLY sending Coinbase to MYSELF. You sure can believe they NEVER answered a single email to their BS “support” email as to what the “violation” was. DO NOT store BTC in Coinbase or you will be sorry! TOTAL RIP OFF: They stole money from me and then closed by account when I called them on it.

Remember that with zcash you can move your coins from a transparent address to a private address, which is more secure than btc or monero. zen also has some neat trustless trades too.

The name of the site is bitraped ffs and it's pretty much all negative things about crypto, this site is as reputable as Breitbart.
