Great post, thanks. I also started on Coinbase, but once you start taking Crypto a bit more seriously you will need more tools, not to mention more currencies.
Tradingview is my number one tool for technical analysis and charts and I sort of like Bitfinex for trading, also Bittrex is all right (even though their small charts annoy me). I am so much looking forward for proper decentralized exchanges and wide use of atomic swaps.
Note to newbies: coinmarketcap has a nice list of all the exchanges where given coin is being traded (just click the coin and then markets).
