Coinbase Offers US Feds New Crypto Surveillance Tools
https://www.coindesk.com/coinbase-analytics-blockchain-analysis-crypto-governmentIt's one thing to play by the rules and report to IRS which is required, but it's a different ball game to actively sell tracking software to governments, why are you funding this again?
Someone else, please write a wall of wordy-man text explaining in gruesome detail all of the bad things about Coinbase... I will just say here for now, let us also not forget, Coinbase were anti-Bitcoin 2Xers. And I think that they have not changed a bit.

The following companies and services have pledged to adopt the contentious hard fork: [...]

One of my Newbie posts, from when I had been actively posting for seventeen days:
You fork, you die.
Genuine Bitcoin has crushed numerous forks and attempted forks: “Bitcoin XT”, “Bitcoin Unlimited”, “Bitcoin Classic”, and the “New York Agreement” (misnamed “Segwit2X”; nothing to do with Segwit), to name but a few. These no longer exist. For the current outbreak of forks, if you wish to claim some fork coins, then dump them in exchange for real Bitcoin, and enjoy your free bitcoins. Otherwise, simply ignore. Anything from “Bitcoin Cash” to “Bitcoin Super Diamond Plus2X Plutonium With Ponies” is only a scam; and these scams will die sooner or later, just as did their antecedents.
There are many pretenders to the Bitcoin title. However:
There is only one Bitcoin.

I mean this: “WE WILL NEVER FORGET”. If you run a centralized service and try to leverage your huge market share against Bitcoin, then you are untrustworthy, and I will always assume unless otherwise proved that you are still trying to subvert Bitcoin.
I am now about twenty hundred trillion pages behind WO. My apologies if I missed something that you wanted me to see, or if you replied to one of my posts here.
