I went to pay for a hotel with expedia, and on the page where it saids to send x amount of BTC to x address…. I send the coin from my block chain wallet and then get an email from coin base saying coin base/expedia has a refund for me to claim, but in order to claim the coin I need to basically sign up and agree to the terms of coin base if I want access to my bitcoin… It wasn't a huge deal, but why can not i not just send bitcoin to expedia from any freaking wallet…. It is none of coin bases business to get information on me… If expedia gives me an address to send coin to, and I send the coin, once they receive it that should be good… but it wasn't they wanted to get me to sign up to coinbase before accepting my payment… THIS IS SOOO INCREDIBLY WRONG AND SNOOPY…

Has this happened with anyone else…

And I wouldn't have received my coin from coin base without giving some amout info when signing up to coin base… Coinbase is infuriating me… Great service except for their intrusiveness. Can some one help me make sense of this… In the past all I had to do what send the correct of amount of bitcoin to the given address and boom reservations are made. No extra info needed to be shared…

I think coin base wants everyone to have a single btc address so they can become the next visa and to be able to track every transaction to an individual.
