Oh God yes, I forgot this point. The first thing you buy is a decent hardware wallet. It's not quite the same as withdrawal to the bank, but it's the next best thing. Then put it in a nice solid box and connect it once and once only to a nice long lead so you don't risk any physical stress or harm at all. Bear in mind that actually dumping money out of coinbase and into your bank is a palaver that you can't immediately achieve so set up the capability with returning a small sum to the bank. In fact if there is one other thing I've learned, practice and test anything you might want to do with small sums a couple of times before committing real money.
