I shall indeed, my friend, and ditto that on not checking it out yet. Perhaps tonight! I haven't used Coinbase in a while, and the last time I had a major issue helping a friend try to send LTC to Hive, and it was never resolved because we could never get in touch with any customer service at all. Personally, I will never use Coinbase again based on that, but I'm sure for most people it would work fine, and the more roads into Hive, the better! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Their customer support is terrible!😳
Several times I’ve been locked out and it took hours to resolve the issue that wasn’t even on my end!🙄
Unfortunately, Washington state doesn’t allow too many on ramps for crypto at the moment hopefully this will change in the future!😇

So it wasn't just me then! How on earth can a large company like that be run in that manner? It just doesn't make sense. Yeah, some states definitely make it quite difficult, and I think it will change everywhere soon! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

I can trade with a VPN, but on ramp and off ramp I basically have COINBASE in Robinhood in Washington state!🙄

Ditto that, Mike, post haste! Yikes, yeah, that is a bit of an unpleasant situation. With the developments that are coming to Hive, I'm pretty sure that soon we'll be able to use Hive assets, or any crypto assets for that matter, in most places. I can't wait. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Precisely, my friend, we're the super-early adopters of sovereign frameworks that are changing the world financial game entirely, and I'm right there with you! This is exactly why I've been building and growing here on Hive, and in other blockchain ecosystems, as much, and as quickly as I'm able, before the big crypto tsunamis really hit! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Exactly, or even collected sats from faucets for a while! I'm working to grow my BTC holding (as SWAP.BTC) in a few diesel/liquidity pools, but I've got lots more to add to several more pools! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

You could put a few hundred dollars into the SWAP.HIVE:SWAP.BTC pool for her, and let the assets grow until she's old enough to understand it, which would accrue quite a lot of fees in that amount of time! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Hahaha...OK, perhaps not just yet, though I do know someone that created an account for their daughter, who is still very young, and who publishes updates on her child's life, as something of an archive for the future. From what I understand, the intention is to hand the account over to her when she's old enough. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Since you have a solar electrical system, have you tried mining sats with one of the mini-miners? I know someone here that does that, and he's been doing it for quite a while now. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Some people would say that poor customer service on concerns involving (significant amounts of) money is perhaps the most disappointing of all services. 🤯😅

There's the thing that it's better to trust people you know about their experience with putting their money on certain companies rather than simply browsing for (random) reviews online. 🧘‍♂️ The problem there arises when you personally don't know anyone who used the service of a certain company before you put your own money there. 🤯🤓

First-hand experience is best, second-hand information is second best, and third-hand is basically only to be used when absolutely necessary. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Your "keyboard autocorrect" (or "quick typing fingers", which took me almost 10 seconds again to type) made you type second-and! 🤯🤣

Anyway, since I don't encounter the term "third-hand" often, I assume that you mean that "second-hand information" means information coming from people you personally know, and "third-hand information" means information coming from strangers. 🧘‍♂️🤓

It was indeed my quickly-typing fingers, and they reverted to speaking Cockney.

Correct, third-hand information comes to you via people, and channels, that you don't actually know. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Does that mean that your "quick typing fingers" are not only typing wrong, but also are now speaking (Cockney)? 🤯🤯🤯

The "fourth-hand information" might come from... "parallel universes" !INDEED! 🤯🤯😅
