Everything you say is true, and buying through an exchange is my preferred method. But a lot of people don’t give a damn about web3.0, and they just want to park some wealth. Coinbase makes entering into crypto very easy. My induction process is to explain the fundamentals of Bitcoin, and why it is unlike any previous technology or money system, then get into actually buying the stuff, and how to store it (Ledger Nano S ftw)
while i like exchanges, sometimes you see a positive price shift that cannot wait for funds to be cleared ready for trading. enter Coinbase with instant position taking to ride the waves with the market
Ps, GDAX also doesnt support NZ
