How To Create A Coinbase Account

In this blog post I’ll show you how to create a Coinbase account for storing, sending and receiving Bitcoin and a range of other cryptocurrencies. It is very easy to do and offers a relatively high level of security.

Note: Although Coinbase has an affiliate program, I am not a Coinbase affiliate. At the bottom of this article you will find some links to other crypto wallets that have been recommended to me or that I have personal experience of using, besides Coinbase.

There are three reasons why I personally recommend Coinbase to anybody just getting started with crypto.

First, it is very easy to set up an account.

Second, Coinbase is available in 190 countries for the basic purposes of sending, recieving and storing cryptocurrencies.

Third, Coinbase has been around since 2012. It has built up a solid reputation as a reputable site to get started working with Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.

Wikipedia has a Coinbase page where you can read about the history of the company.
