Coinbase is a US-based company with an impeccable safety record (no hacks, ever). They connect to all major and minor traditional banks to make investing in bitcoin easier than ever. Even if you are still skeptical about bitcoin’s future (I know I am), it may still be wise to allocate some funds to bitcoin…just in case.
