He still picked Conbase for some reason though.

At that time were already many good places to buy some BTC, for example Bitstamp.

But the question is: would he have gotten into bitcoin at all without Conbase?

I'm not saying they are not the enemy, but they are also doing us some favors on accident.

Don't get too upset about the bulls***. BITCOIN is the TROJAN HORSE.

I never opened a Coinbase acc for me. First time I saw it, something told me that is fishy.

In 2015 a friend of mine came to me happy that he opened a Conbase acc.
I told him to be careful that Conbase is the enemy of Bitcoin and should close it and use many other sources to get some BTC.

He scream at me that I am crazy and only spread FUD etc bla bla...
[Later I sent him this list](https://stacker.news/items/78930) with points about Conbase...

Only after years he came back to me and said: you were right all along, Conbase is the enemy.

Like I keep doing nowadays, warning people about many other scams and dangers.
Why?
Because I have a very good sense of detecting bullshit and I pay attention to many details.
