Are you interested in enabling Coinbase professional? If you already have an active free Coinbase account, it is really quite easy to activate Coinbase professional. You can either enable Coinbase Pro or sign up.
In order to enable Coinbase Professional, you will want to log in or already be logged into your Coinbase account. Browse to pro.coinbase.com in your web browser. Click on "Get Started" on that web page.
All you now have to do is wait a few seconds or minutes and your Coinbase Professtional account will be enabled. If you do not have a free Coinbase account yet, you can sign up and receive up to $10 worth of free Bitcoin. You will want to enter in your real first name, real last name, an email address you have access to, a password, your state you currently reside in and certify that you are 18 years or older.
Now that you have signed up using my Coinbase referral link above, you can follow my previous instructions. Also, you can browse to pro.coinbase.com. You will want to use the same username and password as you are using for your current Coinbase free account.
If creating a new Coinbase account, you will be prompted to verify your email address. Then you will be asked to enter in your telephone number. You will be asked to verify your telephone number by receiving an SMS text message.
You may want to use a mobile telephone number, as SMS text messaging with some voice over Internet protocol providers may not work correctly. Also, you may be asked to provide your name, date of birth, address, intent, source of funds, your occupation, and your current employer. Depending on what country you live in, you will be required to upload a government identification or take a photo of your government identification.
You cannot skip this step and must verify your identity or you will not be able to open up a Coinbase account. One final tip, you can earn free crypto currency with your Coinbase account by watching videos and then answering questions. I have earned to date $31 of free crypto currency.
You could possibly begin trading crypto currency by receiving these free crypto currencies without linking a bank account. I think you can technically use your Coinbase account without linking a bank account. Linking a bank account allows you to purchase crypto currency and also withdrawing money from your crypto currencie(s). The crypto currency would need to become converted to your currency of choice.
Hopefully, you were able to enable Coinbase Pro or sign up successfully.

boy
00:08

00:09
showing you how to
00:11
enable coinbase professional
00:16
if it's pretty self-explanatory however
00:20
all you have to do is
00:21
have an existing coinbase account not
00:25
the
00:25
pro but just the free basic one
00:28
you log in with the same username email
00:32
password and then you go to the
00:38
pro let's see where is it
00:42
listed at right here you want to go to
00:46
pro dot coinbase.com
00:49
and then you click on get started i
00:52
can't show you that because it already
00:53
converted my
00:55
normal coin base to professional that's
00:58
all you have to do
01:00
now that's all that's if you already
01:02
have a coinbase
01:04
account but you don't have the
01:06
professional
01:07
from my understanding they don't charge
01:08
you anything extra there
01:10
there's no monthly fee but they do
01:12
charge fees
01:14
and so now when you log in
01:18
it's going to look like this so you're
01:20
going to be logged in your
01:22
[Music]
01:23
coinbase account you won't see this
01:27
in your dashboard so what you can do is
01:30
you can go to help.coinbase.com so that
01:32
you can see this bottom menu
01:34
or you can go to pro.coinbase.com click
01:37
on that
01:39
and then you'll see a bunch of marketing
01:42
click on get started i think there's
01:44
three get started buttons
01:46
one in the upper right hand corner next
01:48
to the login
01:49
and then i would say another one halfway
01:51
down the
01:53
sales page and then a third one towards
01:56
the bottom just click on get started
01:58
in the future it may change it may say

02:08
buttons
02:09

02:11
coinbase account it will convert it
02:13

02:15
convert it opened up this page it
02:18
spun a little bit it may have taken
02:21
longer than a few seconds maybe a minute
02:23
and then eventually i was looking at
02:27
this page
02:28

02:30
haven't transacted anything
02:32
but i'm showing i'm showing you
02:35
that i have a coinbase pro account and i

again then then you can choose
03:07
and that's basically what i saw that's
03:09

03:11
now in closing we can go over this help
03:14
from coinbase.com i have not written a

03:38
and then i will also include a link
03:42
a referral link if you sign up to
03:44
coinbase and you
03:47
what is that i think you spend a hundred
03:49
dollars within six months
03:51
you get ten dollars of free
03:54
cryptocurrency you get ten dollars free
03:59
if you sign up with my referral link
04:03
all right now how to open a coinbase pro
04:07
account
04:07
now this is if you have not created
04:11
an account yet i'll skip down to what i
04:13
just told you how to open a coinbase pro
04:15
account when you already have a coinbase
04:17
account i already i already showed you
04:18
how to do it
04:19
and i will provide a link to the login
04:22
you just log into
04:24
pro.combase.com select login
04:27
enter in the same login email address
04:30
from your coinbase account
04:33
and the same password and then it will
04:36
automatically link
04:38
and like i said it took a few seconds if
04:40
not a minute it depends on
04:42
the speed of your internet you know
04:44
access
04:46
now we can quickly go over if you don't
04:48
have a coinbase account
04:50
you would click on this link to sign up
04:53
and then you would sign up you know you
04:57
have to give your email
04:59
name and then you're gonna have to
05:03
verify you enter a phone number
05:09
what else
05:12
you have to you have to verify the phone
05:15
number via sms which is text
05:20
they might ask your name your date of
05:22
birth your address
05:24
your intent the source of funds
05:25
occupation employer
05:28
you have to upload your a government
05:30
issued id
05:31
and this is probably probably just for
05:33
the united states although
05:35
this could be well it does stipulate
05:39
here
05:39
united states and united kingdom
05:41
customers will need to complete an id
05:43
verification yes that i had to i had to
05:48
provide a photographic identification
05:52
and i had to upload it or let me think i
05:55
might have taken a photo
05:58
i already had i already had a photo on
06:00
my computer i think i uploaded it
06:02
you have to do it otherwise they won't
06:05
they won't verify
06:06
you they and you can't open an account
06:11
all other customers it looks like this
06:14
the united states and united kingdom
06:15
customers
06:18
will provide the id verification all of
06:21
the customers i'm assuming from other
06:23
countries other nation states other
06:25
abstractions
06:26
will need to verify two identifications
06:28
of different types
06:30
passport driver's license or a
06:33
id cards are acceptable forms of
06:35
identification
06:38
they they don't accept health cards and
06:40
they do not accept student
06:41
identifications
06:44
yes then then once you verify your
06:48
identification
06:50
then you can link a bank account which
06:52
i've already done now
06:53
i do not think you have to link a bank
06:55
account to use
06:58
coinbase i know it's counter-intuitive
07:00
but
07:01
here's i'm not gonna that might be a
07:03
separate video here's a quick tip
07:05
you can earn free cryptocurrency on
07:07
coinbase
07:09
and i might make a second video and this
07:11
will just kind of be like a
07:13
i don't know foreshadowing so you do not
07:16
necessarily have to link a bank account
07:18
yet because you can technically
07:20
earn i've earned let's see i earned 25
07:24
and then i earned
07:25
six more today i've earned a total of 31
07:28
dollars of free cryptocurrency
07:30
although it's only worth about 18 or
07:32
whatever
07:34
because it because it's you know anyways
07:36
i don't want to digress about that
07:38
but so that way you could technically
07:40
fund
07:41
and you can start trading on coinbase i
07:43
think probably without
07:45
linking a bank account you know what i'm
07:46
saying you're not going to be able to
07:48
trade much but
07:50
what else i think that that's about all
07:52
i'm going to cover
07:56
you know anything further so that is how
08:00
you conver well basically that's how you
08:03
open up a coinbase pro
08:05
although if you already have a coinbase
08:09
account not the professional
08:13
the the free one
08:16
then it's really simple you know what
08:18
i'm saying
08:22
adios
