Great video!
For anyone cashing out bitcoin or other currencies though, please make sure you are taking the tax implications into account.
In the US, long term capital gains are taxed at 10-20+%, and short term (held for less than a year) are taxed as income. So if you do cash out money through Coinbase, make sure you save an appropriate amount for taxes, or you may get an unpleasant surprise in April.
Good point. Some of you might balance that against the fact that Coinbase does protect itself with insurance in case it gets hacked. You still need to protect your own account but at least, Coinbase has protected itself (and your funds).

Yeah, there are absolutely pros and cons to the decision.
