Coinbase is an Exchange, and it can suffer attacks and the accounts can be hackeds, compromised, among other things. If you are using little money in an Exchange, it's okay. But anyway it is recommended that you have a wallet where you own your own PRIVATE KEYS, the wallets are free, and if you are investing heavily and buying a lot of BTCs then it is highly recommended that you buy a wallet trezor.io (TREZOR WALLET), ledgerwallet.com (LEDGER NANO S)

How would I go about transferring my coins from my coinbase wallet to a Ledger? ( I feel most comfortable with a tangible place to keep them , also getting sick of coinbase fees )

I see alot of people having problems on coinbase with withdrawals and transfers and went to get ahead of that mess. And would like to enter the buy low sell high game without those fees if possible
