I feel compelled to make an interesting observation about the irony of this meme. First off, I’m not making any comment about the merits (I totally agree with this point, although not every part of this bigger argument) or demerits of the argument. However, aren’t the characters in the scene that this comes from literally taking the exact opposite positions? Vader has the legal power of the empire and has captured the rebels who are justifying their mission on non-legal, moral grounds.
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?
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
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.
A KINDLY: FUCK YOU COINBASE FOR THE WHOLE DAMAGE YOU'VE DONE TO THE BITCOIN WORLD.
should all businesses that make bad decisions be permanently shunned?
100%
I have no remorse for shitcoineries.
so if i sell a customer a sub-par product, should my business be shut down?
or should it have the opportunity to do right by the customer and rebuild lost trust?
D not do business with shitcoiners.
It is so simple.
BOYCOTT THE MOTHERFUCKERS.
forget shitcoins and bitcoins and coinbase for a moment.
do you think people and businesses should be given second chances to rebuild the trust of their peers/customers?
for this question, let’s assume that the “bad thing” a person or company did was not illegal.
Only if they prove they take the right path.
Yes I believe in 2nd chance, I am not that crazy to not.
Illegal is a vague term for me...

Anyways... Coinbase deserve the shit. They must die.

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

Fair points.

LOL did you lived under a rock until now?

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?

No but I respect his opinion. Everyone has to live according to their principles, wrong or otherwise
Permanently and for the entire eternity.
No
Companies can change or adapt or apologize for mistakes
@Darthcoin is right
In my next life I want to be a bitcoin miner

Invest in a miner stock like wulf
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.
I made it to "guardians of bitcoin" and turned it off
R.I.P._jstark
Vapid statements R US.
Coinbase = frenemie
This is the example of a perfect hypocrite.
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.
We remember...
what exactly do you remember?
should all businesses that make bad decisions be permanently shunned?
Nobody cares what Coinbase says
