I beg to differ,

Coinbase charges ridiculous fees

Coinbase charges a Spread of about one-half of one percent (0.50%) for Digital Currency Purchases and Digital Currency Sales. However, the actual Spread may be higher or lower due to market fluctuations in the price of Digital Currencies on Coinbase Pro between the time we quote a price and the time when the order executes.

We also charge a Coinbase Fee (in addition to the Spread), which is the greater of (a) a flat fee or (b) a variable percentage fee determined by region, product feature and payment type. The flat fees are set forth below:

• If the total transaction amount is less than or equal to $10, the fee is $0.99.
• If the total transaction amount is more than $10 but less than or equal to $25, the fee is $1.49.
• If the total transaction amount is more than $25 but less than or equal to $50, the fee is $1.99.
• If the total transaction amount is more than $50 but less than or equal to $200, the fee is $2.99.

Good point! The idea didn't cross my mind as I too didn't see anything bad in the affiliate link as it takes nothing away from the person signing up through it and only serves as a means of tracking my conversions. Thanks for the suggestion though, I'll be sure to edit in some clarification.
