coinbase

I’ve received 4 similar spam texts in the last couple of hours and many more in the past month (usually claiming to be from “Coinbase”). 

Which hack(s) do I have to thank for this? 😒

I have never put actual dollars into crypto (although I should have I'd be rich by now), only taken dollars out. All of it is earned. I rely on P2P sales and giftcards from cakepay or coincards for offramping.

In late 2017 when I first became interested in crypto I didnt have an ID to sign up to Coinbase so I started hitting the faucets and survey sites hard and earning crypto by leaving devices watching ads all day. By the time I got my ID, the bull was over, and I had learned enough to not want to KYC. Later on I started earning by writing for shitcoin projects and hunting airdrops.

I was just a young sprite back in 2017 and did not know any better. 😔

What do you use as an on/off ramp, or are you completely crypto native?
