Re: Bitfinex: Service Changes for U.S. Customers

Bitfinex and Coinbase will be dropping ETH support (USA only) becaue Ethereum itself started as an ICO.

Americans got so rich off the first tech bubble (Apple, Google, Amazon, e-bay, etc), that they feel guilty and want the rest of the world to get rich off this new tech bubble.

Americans are just trying to improve their image globally, and by allowing every other country in the world to get rich first, is a decent start. Americans want it this way because they voted for it to be this way. Thats why it is called freedom.

Seriously?

Why are they dropping support for ETH when it is such a valuable thing and so many businesses use it?

ETH was launched as an ICO/IPO

This thread is very confusing considering you're quoting something that doesn't exist in this specific thread. It's well known that Bitfinex is discontinuing support for US customers, but where did you read Coinbase is? I can't find that anywhere.

While I'm in this thread... anyone have an update on Bitfinex's plans? They said 30-days they'll reach out to their US customers with the off-boarding steps but I haven't heard anything.
