I started with coinbase when I was interested in selling some erc-20s I recieved back in late 2017. if they stopped using sms-2fa, seems my account was grandfathered and their webpage says they still use sms. https://help.coinbase.com/en/coinbase/getting-started/verify-my-account/how-do-i-set-up-2-factor-authentication
I quit buying from coinbase when they ban Milo; when other members of the then colibra project were banning conservatives across the spectrum. That is the mark of the beast stuff there, and one of the first things the NAZI's tried to do once they gained power was force the boycott of Jewish companies. Nonetheless, I would participate in the air drops. It was ultimately the withdrawal of the free crypto emails in my yahoo mail notice bar that alerted me something was wrong when I was reading a news article.
I switched to Gemini not knowing they were still connected to facebook. Supposedly Bittrex started using wire transfers of debit cards and that would save me the middle man, but it'll be a while before I put new money in crypto after this incident-and I'll certainly have to create a new bank account just for wiring money before I do.
The fact that they [all] allow[ed] VPN access to the accounts of unwilling Americans is beyond unprofessional and insecure. I am not sure that I can trust any of them.
The crypto choices on Gemini kind of Suck. But they were the only exchange who really noticed something wasn't quite right and [allegedly] took immediate action. Upon reviewing my email they claim they have a 72 hour waiting period in which they freeze withdrawal activity, but their in account notices makes me wonder otherwise. I just made sure to contact them ASAP.
