Note from the author. This article cites three cryptocurrency platforms linked to using a unique referral link. Their system provides a small incentive for the author when new clients sign up using a referral link.

There is no professional relationship between any organisations mentioned and the author, who remains a novice investor and hobbyist in cryptocurrency.

There’s a problem with Coinbase.

I have been a client at Coinbase for the last few years — buying Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies on an occasional basis.

I’m an average Joe — taking an interest in cryptocurrency and trading a little pocket money each month. To Coinbase, I’m probably small-fry.

I love to dabble. Interestingly, Coinbase is the platform that most buyers recommend for buying and selling Bitcoin and other crypto products. A few friends have mentioned their intention to sign up with Coinbase to buy their first Bitcoin even this week.
