Coinbase fees are dumb. Let's be smart.

Here's a video on how to lower your fees on Coinbase when withdrawing. Pro Tip: Don't buy bitcoin in the retail customer side; buy from their GDAX trading exchange. You're only paying .25% on your buys.

And if you really want to be smart, you might just avoid Coinbase altogether. I've been experimenting with Gemini to buy bitcoin. All their transfers are free, deposits and withdrawals, with just .25% on buying and selling.

The buy-ins to these events scale up from the $500 Casino Employees Event to the uber-high roller $1,000,000 Big One for One Drop. Even just for the limitless cash games running alongside the WSOP, the cash on hand with players boggles the mind.

So it comes as little surprise that reports came on the first day of the Series that players at the Rio have had their hotel rooms robbed of cash and valuables. While hotel theft of valuables is an issue across the hospitality industry, the loss of large sums of cash can be directly avoided by poker players at the Series if the WSOP high command would do one, little thing...

Adopt bitcoin.
