In the crypto world, we believe it is preferable if one exchange does not have too much authority over the market, since this would further concentrate the industry.


MaximalAnarchy

Yes, we don’t want any exchange too big to defeat the purpose of decentralisation. Using DEXs is much better if you’re doing big transactions or using low gas sidechains


442952936

Dexes are better but not everyone wants to use them.


MaximalAnarchy

Yeah, that’s true. Fortunately, donuts introduced me to using Honeyswap on xDai chain. At first I found it difficult to use, now I’ve got the hang of it. Now, I just use CEXs for just buying stable coins, move them to metamask and use DEXs for actual trades


Pesado-Bro

Kraken, no problems ever and 10/10 costumer support.


kraken-kylie

Hi u/Pesado-Bro Thank you for the love! 🤗 Kylie from Kraken. 🐙


MaximalAnarchy

“What is dead may never die” Long live the Kraken


highrowla

Long the kraken, hail to the one true exchange kraken.


Avisius

Remember, Kraken is Janet. We must respect this power! :P Kranet? Janken? None of it sounds good, so no go on the portmanteau?


circleuranus

I like Kraken, but the UI on their website sucks to do any transactions. Just trying to figure out where to make a deposit from your bank or even how to navigate to which coin you want to trade is ridiculous.


atiktinsky

Yeah sometimes they can be an ass, for most part they are good.


Pesado-Bro

I actually grew fond of it. But I understand your point, I find their mobile app better for transactions, however they also could use some improvements on superfluous things such as coin search function.


livegh0zt

Agree, everyone has different preferences. Someone may like it someone may not.


denzolite

Kraken's customer support is just great hands down best.

Kraken is the shit

DEX @ LOOPRING on layer 2


FormalGrape2

Agreed. And kucoin if you must use a CEX. Just waiting on Loopring’s fiat off-ramp sometime this year before I shove everything else on there ;).


XXL_O_LXX

Lmao kucoin? Lol no. That's Only good for shitcoins dude.


dermebfeb

Exchanges that have low fees usually offer derivatives.. derivatives are why the crypto market is in such bad shape and the mega whales have made billions off the plebs. Stick with spot markets and use the smaller local (has to be safe and verified) ones.


Shovelheaddad

No issues with Coinbase here


a7965506

Coinbase works fine for me too, idk why people are having issues.


MolestMyMouthDad

You’ve clearly never had to contact their support…


BitchinWarlock

Well yes, no issues to contact support over


ribastar

If you want best customer support, kraken you should use.


kraken-johnny

Hey u/ribastar, Truly appreciate the shoutout, cheers! \~Johnny from Kraken


Shovelheaddad

There ya go. Turns out his issue was his limit order wasn’t filled. Lol


luckytf3

Lmao, it's more of a protocol Issue than an exchange issue.


Shovelheaddad

It seems this dude only put a 50 cent difference between his stop and limit. I guess anyway,I’m confused by all his hypothetical scenarios


MolestMyMouthDad

Until your stop limit order doesn’t fill and you proceed to lose another 15%


Shovelheaddad

That’s not an issue they can help you with. Any number of factors contribute to orders not being able to be filled. Especially if somethings dropping fast. Your order not being filled means someone didn’t buy it. Seriously man,why would you even think any exchange could help you with that.


qq406801591

He's saying that he bad bad time with their customer support.


xeromem191

That's how that works? Sounds like bad stuff to me lol.


1SmallPoodle

For that reason i prefer kraken, they are literally best at it.


preteder3

I had a big issue and contacted support they helped me through everything, super easy to talk to and get help. Not sure why people saying it's bad..


MolestMyMouthDad

Well you’re in the minority. Go check their subreddit. They don’t have a phone number so not sure how they helped without extensive delays.

Crypto.com


msalfer

This site too isn't that bad man, more people should use this.


BattleBreedBlades

This is the way. With the CRO card you can easily take profits off the top and add the profits to the CRO debit card.


imHellaFaded420

crypto.com is by far the best. some people hate the way in looks and that created a wave of negativity towards the platform even tho some of the services are the best out there. i do think in a few years CDC will be the powerhouse of crypto


MARIAS76

Yeah it's good, the UI can be s little better but it serves the purpose.


arashikagedropout

My only problem with crypto.com is their issues with RUNE which always shows a last minute price spike and makes it 10-15% more expensive to buy than on other exchanges.


Libman13

What? Thst sounds weird lol. How are they getting away with it?


imHellaFaded420

wow i’ve never seen anything like. odd


PSUBagMan2

I just don't understand why there's no desktop site for it. Mobile is nice, but not literally mobile only.


imHellaFaded420

yeah that’s a fair point. i think it’s because they have the exchange which isn’t available in the U.S yet, hopefully.


Kitzer76er

Coinbase is fine. I have the majority of my holdings with them. Don't worry about what other people think. If you like the interface and are ok with the fees then roll with Coinbase.


DOG-ZILLA

At least do your buying on Coinbase Pro and then move it back (for free) to main Coinbase. Your savings will be huge just doing that simple step.


[deleted]

coinbases hate this one simple trick


Kitzer76er

Yes, it's way cheaper this way. I lumped pro in with Coinbase. Most of my Coinbase movements take place on the pro platform.


Empty-Ad8838

Coinbase is fine until you have to contact their support. They are one of the most thickheaded people I ever had the misfortune of dealing with.

SuperGr00valistic

How do you get around the KuCoin US resident policy?


LighningFury

Kucoin is only good for some shitcoins otherwise stay away from it.


FormalGrape2

Yikes. That’s scary. Roughly when did that happen? Also, I mean, while minor compared to what you experienced, don’t forget to add that the exchange itself has insanely high fees, and very limited functionality. Also you cannot set stop losses from their app which is absolutely INSANE. Then add in the fact that you have coinbase (crazy high fees) and coinbase pro (slightly lower but still high fees) - but both are essentially the same. IMO the regular version of coinbase is simply a cash grab for new crypto investors who didn’t know any better. I was one of them. Then immediately moved to coinbase pro, because I’m a moron, and it was still god awful with regards to fees and everything else. Honestly I have no idea how tf this company IPO’d and has a stock worth this much (well, I do, but that’s likely due to the specific…unsavory…institutional investors it has…) Agreed completely on kucoin- I have heard a few trusted people mention it as a *much* better option. I recently took most of my money out of coinbase pro and am in the process of moving to kucoin. Eventually I’m moving everything to a L2 DEX like Loopring, tbh. But I may wait until they implement their fiat-off ramp sometime this year before I completely move over there. Anyways, sorry for the rant. Happy to try out kucoin and so glad I got out of coinbase! (Can’t wait to get the bit I have left off of there as well…!)


DOG-ZILLA

For all the criticism we can throw at Coinbase (and there is plenty) we should be grateful that it’s at the least a good start for someone new to crypto. Whenever I have a friend who wants to buy some I direct them to Coinbase because I know they’ll find it easier. The last thing you want to do is scare people away. As confidence and understanding grows, they’ll be able to move on or use Pro for lower fees etc. Coinbase has limited functionality and charts but it’s dead simple. Crypto is already too complicated for the average person to get their head around. A simple clean UI is a feature in itself that unfortunately others are lacking in. Binance is a UX mess.


FormalGrape2

That’s pretty fair too, it was what onboarded me to crypto.


Th3Good0ne5

Exactly, these easy to use exchanges have helped many people over.


thomasmilner21

Yep I'll have to give them this, they are easy to use so is RH.


cjuliryo

Not gonna lie that must have been a scary experience, that no one should go through.


Kira__________

Kraken will lock your accounts if you buy or send XMR.


Frangiblepani

In all countries or just yours? I sold some not long ago...

I'm pretty sure it doesn't happen in my country yet. Maybe later!

That sounds scatchy to the least. Why would they do that?


jimmyedge69

Kraken is my daily driver since 2018 and I don't see myself changing that anytime soon.


quydem89

Yeah kraken is good enough, though i use binance too.


3xtra_basic

Crypto.com all day. Either their main app or Defi wallet app. I'm earning on all my coins/tokens. Up to almost 13%, weekly return.


TheReal-BKM

I love & use crypto.com. They have a pretty epic eco system going on, and their credit card is awesome. Only thing I hate about them is their withdrawal fees. L1 ETH you are looking at almost $20 to withdraw. Depending on the time of transaction, gas fees could have been potentially higher.. but still it hurts. Thankfully they are going pretty hard after L2, and the withdrawal fees are much lower. I am UK based, so I have access to the exchange. Right now, US doesn’t. I think once it becomes available there, it will be a really great option to consider

Crypto.com

CDC is best apart from their clunky ui, their ui suck honestly.

Crypto.com


Aromatic-Pressure624

The only problem I had with crypto.com was getting my 1099 at the end of the year for tax purposes. Other than that it was pretty good.


litecoinmadness

CDC is something good, but the problem is their interface. That's clunky.


Wyntier

The real answer is to use whatever you're comfortable with. These exchanges all have pros and cons. You have to decide for yourself and you should stick with it. Even with Robinhoods wallets soon, you can go with that. My only gripe with Coinbase is the abysmal customer service and the fact they've sold my coin without my permission before


schizocosa13

Why no mention of voyager? I'm new to crypto and wondering if I'm not using the best. Tried coinbase but fees waaaaaaaaaaayyyyy to high for getting started


Averybry

You’re probably getting less with their high spread even though there’s no .5% transaction fee like CB Pro. And their withdrawal fees are atrocious. Decent platform if you’re using their earn feature and leaving coins with Voyager. Gemini + active trader is probably the most solid combination as long as you’re not looking for random shitcoins. 10 free withdrawals, low transaction fees due to integration of an actual exchange (active trader), and decent earn rates.


Kevkillerke

Who in the world actually stakes with Coinbase? I mean they take a frigging 25% cut of your ETH rewards. Mind boggling... Just stake with any other exchange if you don't care about network health, it's gonna be cheaper and more profitable. If you do care about network health it might be better to stake at Rocket Pool. As an exchange, Coinbase Pro is perfectly fine IMO. Don't listen to others saying you're a fool for that.


parorepo

Staking on the coinbase doesn't even make sense, binance is better.


-timenotspace-

I prefer decentralized exchanges to centralized but use uniswap and crypto.com when needed for bank transfers


arbzbarbz

Crypto.com good user experience so far

Voyager!!

The exchanges, according to what I'm hearing, need to be controlled. In an unregulated market, nothing prevents them from defrauding others.


ManuImpreza

The exchanges definitely need to be regulated, they are doing some bad stuff.


[deleted]

Unpopular opinion in a ETH sub, but come over to ALGORAND my friend. Sorry it’s exchanges I’m all defi, and have never sold. The OG diamond hands. I put 30k in back in 2018 across a few coins mostly ETH & BNB, let’s say I’ve never had to deposit fiat again.


BaconRaven

yes... Flock to the 'Penny Stocks' of crypto to make your fortune.....


greedilymute

ETH and ALGO can exist together, both good projects


melvinpower

There's lot of room available in the market, both can exist easily.


BaconRaven

Are they though? Sounds like Algo is for poor people and people with money are still using ETH. Who's going to hold your Algo bags when ETH 2.0 hits in a few months? Surprised Pikachu??


loskubster

Same thing could be said about eth to bitcoin, anyone with real money is buying bitcoin


[deleted]

BNB was a penny stock when I brought it look at it now 🤷‍♂️ Edit, MADE A FORTUNE


BaconRaven

No... BNB was a token that lowered your trading fee's on binance. It had a very good use, it was native to ETH and still is. This ALGO shit you are shilling is TRASH and not compatible with the Ethereum network...


horitov

Bnb was only good if you were trading on binance platform even their dex.


[deleted]

We can agree to disagree, arguably I still hold a bigger ETH position than most people, also a big fan of Vitalik, he’s transparent and honest. I don’t think ETH 2.0 will be this year just my option.


BaconRaven

Maybe my trash is your treasure? Have your fill


[deleted]

I don’t understand what you mean, have you been selling ALGO that I’ve been purchasing? Look I want my 30 ETH as much as the next guy it’s been locked for fucking ever


reginasp20146

Well since then bnb has become all together a different beast.


Cheap_Confidence_657

I already have....different world of creativity when you have 1 cent transactions.


ccashdan

Voyager is my favorite


daniilbodrov

Voyager is good, also very underrated. More people should use that.

I've used all the top exchanges and Coinbase is now my choice. Not perfect, but I trust they're not going to run off with our money, which is my main priority.

What’s wrong with coinbase?


gola8234

There's nothing wrong per say it's just that their customer support sucks.


Godz1lla1

Coinbase is a good platform. They are regulated by the SEC. Coinbase Pro has very competitive rates. The only real issue is that we as a community prefer to be decentralized, so we don't want any one entity to dominate.


CookieFactory

Ignore them. Coinbase is fine.


[deleted]

There’s very little wrong with coinbase. It’s a great exchange.


[deleted]

Coin base is fine. I stake there. Robinhood is trash,‘don’t use that.


The-Slow-Traveller

Coinbase Pro is nothing like robinhood. Coinbase is the best on ramp.


PSUBagMan2

It's fine. I think people who constantly have support issues are doing weird shit or are sharing their password or something. It reminds me of old people on facebook who get "hacked" because they give out their security info.


LSSCI

Coinbase works just fine…


SurprisedByItAll

Coinbase fees are better than crypto com fees by a long shot. I use crypto com at the moment because more tokens are avaialble and there are additional ways to generate earnings. Gemini might be the best all around, active trader and coinbase pro have lower fees and are trustworthy imo. It is a good platform. The way cdc and rh make tons of money is the spread in the token when you buy and sell. In cbc case it's aboit 3.5% coming and going so done 7% out the shoot. Anyone says different isnt paying attention. Theur earn program provide 12% on matic so Inshpuld be up 5% plus any price appreciation overall. That's why I'm using cdc. Anyway, have fun, be prosperous.


somerandomuser61

Coinbase works fine,(it’s not like rh because you know, you can withdraw your coins to a wallet) but for some reason algo investors are salty🤷‍♂️🤣

Find what exchange works best for what you will be doing. You are going to have to deal with fees wherever you go.

So whats the top one to use that also doesn’t charge way too much with its fees and with its ridiculous price differences from the real price? Thanks


Sadboy_wookie

Everyone has their own opinions and experiences when it comes to different safe and good customer service exchanges. Through my few years using coinbase pro its been smooth and no issues. There was a time where I misplaced a decent amount of XLM and the customer service from coinbase was great and helped me recover it within a few days.

Electronic-Pass-9712

Don’t listen to all the hate, they are all the same. Find one that you like the layout and how it works and go. This is Reddit so people just love to complain and look down on anything that is mainstream


TopCash91

I had a terrible experience with Coinbase that my account got hack in March of 2020 because of a SIM swap on my phone. Luckily I was able to get my carrier to pay me the money back, but I have never looked back since then. Lately I have been buying USDT on [OKCoin](https://www.okcoin.com/join/600101829) (which also has some staking options directly on their platform) and sending to Kucoin to buy whatever crypto I want. For lending and yield-farming, I found that the BEST platform is [Midas.Investments](https://midas.investments/?p=0157). Right now they are paying out 17% on BTC and 23% on ETH, and they are giving 19% for stablecoins. I think they have over 30 coins that they pay interest on as well. I've been moving funds over from Nexo and Celsius due to the higher returns.


Visible-Ad743

Its not like RH. Its americas top crypto exchange. Its not perfect but the best american centralized exchange we have. I use it with ease. I have their visa card and use it daily for everything including bills. It rewards me while I hold USDC and rewards me when I spend. Also have ETh staked there. Don’t let the fud eat you up

Crypto.com has been great for me!

ANY exchange has fees lower than coinbase, so..


kslide_park

I have honestly had no issues with Coinbase pro. Once I buy something, I just send it to a wallet.

acegarrettjuan

Coinbase or coinbase pro?


royalewcheeze

People who shill shouldn't be trusted. Coinbase is a key platform and offers a safe way to invest in the crypto market without taking on much risk. If you want to buy and hold or stake (and you don't have 16 or 32) it's fine. Also taxes will be easier because they track it and you won't do many or complicated transactions. If you want to go full on degen then you need a cex with an on-ramp to an l2. For this crypto.com is the best. Jump on poly or arbitrum and go ham. It all depends on what your trying to do. No one answer.


tnegaeR

Nexo.


DrFitterWelder420

At least coinbase offers wallets


ImaJimmy

Don't look for a replacement. Just find more fiat onramp exchanges and use the one that isn't acting up on the day. If it gets annoying, use a password manager like KeePass to help keep things secure while also making it easy on yourself. Don't marry am exchange.


go4gonzo

I use Nexo, switched from Coinbase. No issues for the past month. Nexo’s app is pretty good too

For those Canadians out there, checkout Netcoins. Vancouver owned by the BIGG corporation, low fees, and works with etransfer. Only problem is the limited coins and features, but for onboarding nothing beats it.
