Is there any other way to buy bitcoin on coinbase without using your bank account or debit card?
Maybe I’m being paranoid. If I am let me know. But if there a hack, I’m assuming I’d be ****ed? I’m not going to take that risk to put money on bovada.
I’ve deposited with bitcoin in the past and loved it. Should I just go back to using my credit card to deposit?
Of the many things I've read about Coinbase, being hacked isn't one of them. They're a financial institution, same as your bank. Just guessing the chances of their being hacked is in the same ballpark as your bank. Coinmama can be used to purchase bitcoin in amounts of less than $300 without jumping through hoops.
