I still maintain that the fact that Coinbase is a public company automatically makes it a bit safer than all the other exchanges.

Nothing is 100 percent certain, but this detail makes it better.

Also, it doesn't hurt that Coinbase regularly give users free money.

In the past, Coinbase would give you small crypto gifts - usually to the tune of $3 or $4 - for completing Learn & Earn quizzes.

These days, it seems they're heavily banking on their Wallet, which is why most rewards are available after completing in-wallet challenges.

The system is a bit 'clunkier'. For example, I could only partially complete the Optimism and The Graph quests, because the 'delegate' part didn't work.

But it's all g. This morning I woke up to a new 'challenge'. Trade ETH for USDC on the Base network and receive $5 in SOFI.

Better than a poke in the eye, eh.
