I decided to buy some STEEM today - and it turns out the best way to do this, according to one blogger, is to use COINBASE.COM ...

Here's what I will tell you ...

KYC or "Know Your Customer" is a GREAT EXCUSE to steal other people's identities. If I don't trust banks with all that info, then why the FUCK would I trust COINBASE? Really?

Any who ... I opened the account, I got anally fucked by their UI, they sucked identity theft info from me, and it simply didn't work ... couldn't use my debit card, and because their shit is broken? - I CAN'T ADD A CARD FOR 24 HOURS ...

PLEASE DO NOT USE COINBASE, EVER ...

THEY WILL CHARGE YOU FOR SIMPLY OPENING UP AN ACCOUNT, AND THEN THEY'LL SLAP YOU WITH A COUPLE OF BANKING TRANSACTIONS WHICH YOU "MUST REPORT" INTO THE MOST BUGGY AND POORLY DESIGNED USER INTERFACE I'VE SEEN IN YEARS ...
