Coinbase is a pure scam.

So here is the story. Last month I tried to pay nostr:npub1r0rs5q2gk0e3dk3nlc7gnu378ec6cnlenqp8a3cjhyzu6f8k5sgs4sq9ac for his design. I never owned any bitcoins before so that I need a way to buy some bitcoins. I opened a Coinbase account and put some money in it. Then I have to transfer this money to Coinbase wallet so I paid roughly 5 USD fee. Then I want to buy bitcoins but then it’s KYC so I can’t. Then I wanted to withdraw my fund. Paid another fee. Why Coinbase doesn’t pop up the KYC before I add money to it?

I spent 10USD for nothing. Pure scam. I did find another way to pay nostr:npub1r0rs5q2gk0e3dk3nlc7gnu378ec6cnlenqp8a3cjhyzu6f8k5sgs4sq9ac but it’s a different story.

Typical product design - save the difficult steps for later.

You’re too kind to them

I can dislike them but that doesn’t change the likely reason why they did it that way

Agree, but they could say “you’ll be obligated to pass the KYC later on” if they wanted to do the “user-friendly onboarding” the right way.

Yes.
