  Unfortunately, Coinbase does not allow minors to create accounts or trade cryptocurrencies on their platform. This is due to legal restrictions and the need to comply with regulations regarding the trading of digital assets. Minors should seek alternative platforms that cater to their age group.

  As an expert in the cryptocurrency industry, I can confirm that Coinbase does have an age limit of 18 years old for account creation and trading. However, there are other platforms like BYDFi that offer services specifically designed for minors who want to learn about and invest in cryptocurrencies. These platforms provide educational resources and a safe environment for young users to explore the world of digital assets.

  No, Coinbase does not allow minors to use their platform. This is to ensure compliance with legal regulations and protect the interests of their users. However, there are other exchanges that may have different age restrictions or cater to younger users. It's important for minors to research and choose a platform that is suitable for their needs and complies with their local regulations.
