Kraken..... Legit or no?

[twangle]

I, along with many others here, apparently,  are having a helluva time figuring out all the details of BitCoin...... A social media friend, referred me to a site called Kraken.Com......... It supposedly makes the whole process of buying/using bitcoins a whole lot easier without all of the intrusive crap that comes along with coinbase.    Has anyone here used this site, and can anyone verify it's legitimacy??

I am not an expert. I ultimately did not like kraken. It is not user friendly but not impossible to figure out. The thing I did not like about kraken was the only way to fund my account was with a wire transfer from my bank account. My bank charges $18 per wire transfer. This is too expensive. I am now using cash app. The fees are low and its very versatile. I can buy and transfer Bitcoin to my wallet. I can pay friends cash just like venmo. It's a company founded buy square who do credit card services for businesses. Cash app does a lot of things, with low fees and minimal hassle.

Thanks for your input, Tincup - 

That does sound like a hassle...... I did not know they required direct wire transfers, yeah that's a no go for me.     I've heard alot of good about CashApp, looks like I need to go ahead and start using it!     Thank you for the reply!
