I would like to shame Brian Armstrong.

He was a big blocker.

When he lists an "altcoin" it acts as a seal of approval that causes "investors" to think that even though it can go up or down, its a legitamite project.

He took a really long time to batch withdrawls. Why would he? Doing so encourages withdrawing.

He doesn't support withdrawing to taproot addresses.

He advertises projects like XRP that spend money lobbying against Bitcoin.

He has so many employees, but every opportunity he has to support the chain that has given him his livelihood, he chooses to spend his employees time adding another table to the shitcoin casino.

He has to comply with regulations, but he goes above and beyond by forming an in-house chain analysis service which sells its services to the government. And other governments with worse human rights.

Any time the market really moves, coinbase goes down. When they shelled out $ for a superbowl ad, coinbase went down.

They encourage risky cryptolending that makes them money, but may make them insolvent.

They banned over 25,000 russian addresses and handed the info to the gov. Without any law asking them to.

There are much more ethical ways to get your bitcoin. Hell, there are way better places to get your altcoins too. Kracken has always been pretty badass, they supported taproot really quick. They have one of the highest capacity lightning nodes in the network. Even the winklevi at Gemini do alot for Bitcoin devs.
