Read through this thread from Sam Callahan, which dives into the overtly predatory tactics of Coinbase and their penchant for listing pre-mined altcoins that are utter trash that gets auto-dumped on an unsuspecting retail market. Not only that, but Coinbase tends to hide bitcoin deep in the app so their customers overlook it, or simply never find it. They are much more incentivized to syphon off fees from shitcoin trading than actually educating individuals about bitcoin and helping them acquire as much as possible.

It's quite disgusting actually and Coinbase and its backers should be utterly ashamed of themselves for engaging in this type of bucket shop activity. A once somewhat respectable brand has completely turned itself into a contemptible bad actor that should be avoided at all costs.

Save yourself, your family and friends. Get your bitcoin off Coinbase and advise your network to do the same.
