should all businesses that make bad decisions be permanently shunned?

Yeah that's a huge understating of what conbase did, but also what conbase is doing right fucking now.
Fuck conbase and shitcoin magazine both. They are birds of the same feather

do you agree with this comment?

I'm much less concerned about them partnering with FEDs (Unless they went out of their way to do so, but otherwise one would just expect a company to comply with the government their based in otherwise they'd get shutdown) and much more concerned with how they actively fight bitcoin.
It would be one thing if they were just on the wrong side of the block size wars and we moved on from it, but the con in conbase is their "educational" courses where they push shitcoins onto people.
Imagine if you sent your friends or family to a broker hoping they'd buy SPY (an S&P index fund) but instead the broker gives them an educational course on a pink slip penny stock!
This analogy doesn't work perfectly, but hopefully you get the idea. Coinbase sucks in every way they could suck.

No but I respect his opinion. Everyone has to live according to their principles, wrong or otherwise

Have they made a turn around?

i don’t know what coinbase did wrong in the first place, or if they’ve made a turnaround, just asking this from a principles standpoint

Partnering with helping feds surveil bitcoiners and promoting scams. That's my issue with them.
If a company does these things I will never use them, trust them, or recommend them ever again. More generically if a person makes a change I will give them a chance to restore themselves but it is hard to regain trust that is broken.

Would you agree that Twitter “partnered with feds” and “promoted scams” too? If I recall they had NFT profile pics for a while and then got rid of them. Do you still use their service?
Would you agree that Stripe has partnered with feds and promoted scams too? Do you still shop online using their service?

Fair points.

not to say we should be ok with people doing these things, it just seems weird to me that Bitcoiners have made Coinbase into public enemy #1, and refuse to acknowledge improvements they make while simultaneously giving passes to other companies doing similar things outside of Bitcoin

Its like coinbase thinks they are doing a selfless act. lol

Saylor retweeted it

To be fair, it’s a nice hat tip to miners. Its self-serving and I wish we saw more Bitcoin development interest from coinbase.

Coinbase is so cringe.

They need "a lot" more marketing to unfuck up and sell to "new" kids as a good actor in the btc ecosystem.
