I wish to fuck FP would stay off Twitter sometimes. He's never as funny as he thinks he is.

Disagree. Do you really think monero belongs with the likes of Cardano, Basic attention token, Stellar Lumens? Zcash is right at home in that line up. I'm very skeptical Balaji Srinivasan or Brian Armstrong could even explain what blockchains are useful for. Zooko Wilcox is right at home in that clown car.

And by the way, I think we can successfully make Zcash too traceable for criminals like WannaCry, but still completely private & fungible. - zooko May 12 2017

Any user who needs coinsbase support doesn't need monero anyway.

Fluffy is staying true to the cypherpunk ideals, with a metaphorical "fuck you" to that special snowflake CTO of coinbase. I wouldn't have it any other way. If monero starts cozying up to these corporate interests, I'd dump my holdings and go back to bitcoin.

Sure, I'd like some volatility from a nice pump and dump, but you don't have to engage with a community to speculate on shit coins. Feel free to trade Zcash and roll the profits into monero.

Coinbase is a step to mainstream, the quicker Monero can get to the common man the safer it is. It is like when TPTB want to kill you, they demonize you first and then no-one cares when you die.

Do not make light of attempts to isolate Monero from users, that is what will make it weak. It's better to prove to the people that the CypherPunk attitude is the one they should be adopting.
