Exchange Series - 1 of 7 Coinbase

I have always been a firm believer of continuous learning.  Whether it is something that you agree with, support, or just the opposite, the lessons are aways available. **Exchange Series - 1 of 7 Coinbase.**   ****What is Coinbase?**** In an ever growing crypto landscape, exchanges seem to appear everywhere.  I'm sure the list is not exhaustive, but it sure seems that way.  Coinbase is a centralized exchange that is ubiquitous with BTC in the U.S. https://www.coinbase.com/join/rice_na What I have noticed is that Coinbase is a very polarizing name when it comes to this space.  I have seen all out Twitter battles ensure because someone talks about Coinbase. Others are really simple such as; https://www.coinbase.com/join/rice_na According to Coinbase, you will see the language that says, "The Easies Place to Buy and Sell Crypto". I look forward to the comments that come from even just this initial part of the article.  It seems that every time Coinbase is mentioned that a slough of comments comes that take shots at its existence. Why is that?   ****Let's Look a Little Deeper**** I tend to think about any issue as a window.  You can look through one side or the other.  It is still a window, yet the view is very different from either side.  For starters, in my experience it seems that the initial blush on Coinbase is negative.  I'm not sure if it comes from history of the founders, the fact that it's an exchange, or even that it's predominantly focused in the U.S. where there's still much to be discovered in crypto regulation.
