Coinbase
This is the well known company in San Francisco that has their online platform which store user wallets (and supposedly backed up with cold storage globally) which is easy to use and also allows beginners to learn to send money between wallets. Coinbase did turn over accounts of its members to the IRS for those trading over $20,000…or so goes the rumor.
Coinbase has 10 million members and 50 billion in transactions.

GDAX Exchange
This exhange is part of Coinbase. This exchange is for bitcoin, ether, litecoin, bitcoin cash. It is a great place to start to learn the market system used to bid on pricing of coins. Much like stock option trading but simplified. You can transfer without a fee between you Coinbase account and Gdax and trading on Gdax lowers your fees to 0.25% from Coinbase 1.5% or more (these could vary but it does make a difference)
Coin Desk
A news site dedicated to Blockchain news with articles in many categories such Bitcoin mining, ICOs, Bitcoin regulation, Ethereum code update news, and many other financial to technical articles (but generally easy to read)

Bitmain
This is a company worth knowing about. They are a Chinese company who is the main producer of the ASIC computers that are specific to mining bitcoin. Antminer S9 is currently the topThey are specially made for mining only. They are loud and mining farms use massive amounts of energy. To give an idea from tests Wirefreesoft has done we have seen 135 mh/s using 450 watts from a 6gpu nvidea 1060 setup. And a small farm may have 100 of these machines so that is 45000 watts used continuously all day.
