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

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.
