Cryptocurrency is just going to converge on existing financial ecosystems and regulation. Blockchain can't fight sovereignty.
Monero and ZCash are attempting to do exactly that. Yes, obviously nonrepudiable ledger schemes are natural allies with governments. But not all cryptocurrencies are the same.
Which is a great flag to never trust any major service's Monero and ZCash offerings.

Their audit was a couple months ago, but showed 1-1 backing at that time. Do you believe that was falsified?
That was not an audit. That was a memo. They have yet to release an actual legal audit, by an official auditing company.
Seems like no amount of verification will ever be enough for a good chunk of the crypto community. The scars of Mt Gox and BFX socialized loss are too deep.
The market seems to think otherwise, you can unload your tether for $1.02 most days if you want.

You don't want to store your private key unencrypted on a computer ever. If someone gets a hold of a private key, they control all the bitcoin under that address. However they acquire the private key doesn't matter.
Thanks! Reason Im asking is first ive Never traded btc and second I have friends who started and I can imagine they know anything about crypto, private keys, secrets etc. I might need to point this out to them if they continue with this.
Until the situation with bitfinex pumping billions of unbacked tether into the ecosystem is resolved, doing anything involving bitcoin right now is insane. They’ve released almost $200 million worth of tether in the last day .
edit: This seems to show that $180 million was issued in the last 3 days: http://omniexplorer.info/lookupadd.aspx?address=3MbYQMMmSkC3...

Did you end up getting your coins from Coinbase?
In that particular case, no.
Coinbase should solve it's coinbase trust issue. I bought a small amount of litecoin almost 2 weeks ago, i'm well past my "delivery by" date, my funds left my bank account over 10 days ago, yet I still don't have my coins in my account.
I've been trying to log into my account for over 3 weeks with no response from Coinbase. They need to handle their own support issue better if they want consumer trust.

Well now I'm worried. I also bought a tiny amount of ETH and BTC which is still in my account but I'm really worried about getting the funds out, even if it's just a refund of my original USD.
They stole my money and I'm being downvoted for it, ha!
