Brian is just interested to get more money in his pocket, and despite his positive attitude, the idea of "open financial systems" is not something Coinbase can promote as centralized company working under US law.

His articulating openly that he intends to support open finance does mean something, even if it is under the US Law.I don't think mass adoption will come or that cryptocurrency will fulfill its promise without co-opting the existing systems in some way.
Again, using the "More money in his pocket" argument is very Socialist to me. Even Satoshi holds keys to a million BTC, Right?

The problem of you and most others here in the forum (or in general) is that you admiring individuals who do nothing but get rich under the slogan "We are for Bitcoin!. What Brian is saying is that we need to buy more Bitcoins so he and his mates can get more money from fees.

You took it as a personal attack so I accept your reply. Yet, My problem isn't like most others in the forum. I am not an early adopter and couldn't care less after the intial 2017-18 craze whether BTC or crypto makes me rich or not. This is just one of the many things I'll need to do as an individual if i ever hope to get rich.

One man is nothing, strength is in numbers - at least Satoshi was aware of this, which is why he decided that an individual should never be above the project as a whole.

LOL, Thanks for the quote. Hail the proletariat..
