Question about using Coinbase for Bitcoin purchases

Hi everyone, lurker here and a newbie to the darknet. I was wondering if it is considered safe to purchase bitcoins through Coinbase? I would much rather be able to purchase bitcoins instantly using my bank account than to do cash transactions with people on localbitcoins. Obviously assuming I tumble the bitcoins before transferring them to my market account (using Tor + TAILS on a dedicated computer for darknet things), would I be in the clear?

I apologize if this question has been asked before; like I said, newbie here. Any input is greatly appreciated!

Yes. If you are doing everything you said, buying on coinbase is the absolute last thing you need to worry about. Worry about the vendors you are buying from.

I agree, Coinbase is so much more convenient. I've done LBC and it actually is not that bad at all. I usually do the "cash deposit" into a bank account and coins are there in 30 minutes max usually. That way you don't have to meet up with anyone in person.

But yes, just tumble those coins and you should be ready to rock.

I also recommend circle, i have used coinbase in the past but after using circle i never will use coinbase again. circle has no fees and you get up to 500$ instantly and you can even pay with a debit/credit card. just make sure to tumble the coins (i recommend gram's "helix") it is worth the small percentage, dont forget, the blockchain is forever...

Yep it's fine. Guy on CB, send to a blockchain wallet not hooked to you, then shared coin to your market wallet.

I highly recommend looking into circle.com. Its literally the same thing as coinbase except you can instant buy without having to verify a credit card and no fees. Yup its way better, no more waiting the whole week for coins
