I definitely have a love hate relationship with Coinbase. The fees always drive me crazy, but I think I have found a pretty good way to manage most of those. I also don't like how they seem to go down at key times when people really need to access it. I agree though, it is one of the easiest ways to get started in crypto. Between Coinbase, Robinhood, and PayPal, many people would likely not have invested in crypto otherwise.
