Could you please elaborate on the eligibility criteria for purchasing 
Bitcoin (BTC) on Coinbase? Are there any specific requirements or restrictions for potential buyers? I'm curious to know if individuals, businesses, or both can transact on this platform. Additionally, is there a minimum age limit for purchasing Bitcoin on Coinbase? And does the platform have any geographic limitations, such as blocking certain countries or regions from purchasing BTC? Understanding these details would help me determine if Coinbase is a suitable option for my Bitcoin investment needs.
