Brian is basically talking for Gavin. He has been following him like a slave, since XT and also in Classic. There are a group of people, who wants the same control banks have over our money. They also
push the total surveillance agenda of their governments. Their whole operation is dependent on what their government will allow. {KYC / AML } They are the slaves of the system that wants to control
them, or they want to be a part of that system that controls people. In the end, these companies know they have the support of the governments and they will survive and even prosper in that
environment. For them individual financial privacy does not matter... The main goal is to make money, and lots of it... no matter what individual rights are sacrificed.

Preach it brutha. Satoshi made a huge mistake handing the reins to Gavin. Also, Coinbase should just ignore all the BSA bullshit they have to endure just to give you bitcoin for a fee. Whatever happened to sacrificing your business so little johnny could buy his research chemicals directly from an exchange wallet?
Payment channels [2 weeks] are our salvation, won't be subject to KYC and AML, and will totally trickle enough fees down to miners... in the face of relentless altcoin competition. All while our security is a few phone calls from the PRC away from nothing, not like we shouldn't make a few sacrifices for the safety we're enjoying... Mewn Boyz.
