Well articulated thread. But your hierarchical arrangement of the exchanges isn't correct. Binance and coinbase are good but their are countless exchanges that are far better. Most of this exchanges pitched their tent in the US. But for Africans , most especially where cryptocurrency was banned, Binance is definitely the best.

I don't usually compare exchanges but I tried to see the difference between coin are and Binance and I must confess that Binance is better than coinbase depending on the geographical location. In the United Kingdom, coinbase is preferred as Binance is yet to find a footing in the country. As stated by the previous poster, Binance seems to be the best in Africa but I guess it depends on what you want to do. To carry out free transactions, coinbase seems to provide such great features but it is not useful to carry out peer to peer trading is offered by Binance
