Verified influencer RolandoCryptos —with thousands of followers on Instagram— has ignited social media by questioning the transparency and fees of Coinbase, the most popular centralized exchange in the U.S.
What did he exactly say?
"Coinbase takes advantage of the average user with hidden fees and inflated spreads."
"Newbies pay more... without knowing it."
"Decentralization or disguised monopoly?"
What does the community respond?
Some users support his criticism, stating that other platforms like Binance offer greater clarity and more competitive fees.
Others defend Coinbase for its strict regulatory compliance and institutional security.
Why does it matter?
This scandal has reopened the eternal debate:
Security and regulation... or freedom and low costs?
Trust in centralized exchanges is once again wavering, and the pressure for more transparency in the ecosystem is being felt.
