Coinbase

Buying with a bank transfer was simple and the confirmation emails are clear. Identity verification took a day longer than I expected.

Easiest place I found to buy my first bit of Bitcoin. The price is shown before you confirm, so there were no surprises.

Fees on small purchases add up. Fine if you want something simple, but I moved my bigger trades elsewhere.

Sending to my own wallet was straightforward. The delay on new addresses is annoying, though I understand why it exists.

My account got locked after I changed phones. Recovery took a couple of days, but Relaydesk told me which documents to have ready and that sped things up.
