It'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?

Use gemini at least the Winterfloss twins are pro bitcoin

im still there simply because of how long ive used it (in 2013 there wasnt much to choose from that was legit in the eyes of the land of the free) and ive run life changing amounts through them with zero issues. only exchange i havent had issues with tbh and ive used a few.

them buying up that spy software company that got that guy killed still pisses me off of course. "they didnt know" yeah bullshit. "firing" some people certainly wasnt enough and we now know with absolute certainty what their true colors are.

i always expected coinbase to rat out everyone at some point so when i happened it didnt really matter much (to me). id been paying taxes on corn long before they pulled that 1099 crap.

anyway poor excuse i know but there it is. at some point i wouldnt at all be surprised to see gemini have a few skeletons fall out of their closet. hopefully they keep the high road.

i did make an account at gemini a few years ago but when they wanted a wire transfer to initially set it up.. i wasnt gonna drive 20 minutes to the bank when i already had a working exchange that i knew worked fine, warts and all.

eventually ill finish setting up gemini (need to contact support as the 2fa i have on record doesnt work any more). looking forward to more kyc and hoops to jump through. yay

as one may of noticed im lazy af

Sure there are many shades of grey, but somehow when given an option, coinbase consistently tries to side with the anti bitcoin camp. Laziness might work out for you, but not a good reason to actively recommend it to others.
