While I agree with the comments about Coinbase being very limited, it does offer account protection that few exchanges or wallets can offer, due to it's regulated status in the US. The crypto market is confusing to new investors but you also need to remember to think about the safety and security of your investment, not just the potential profit.

Ultimately, it's like the stock markets - never invest more than you can afford to lose, and learn all that you can about the market in general and your investment in particular.

With more than 1300 cryptocurrencies being traded today and ICOs popping up almost every day - there are going to be some excellent opportunities out there - Steem is certainly among them.
