He did it again. Just this time he did not just said privacy by default, but he directly named Monero.

It makes very little sense why Monero is not listed on Coinbase.

What if he is afraid that to much transactions would be made from Coinbase. So Coinbase could record those transactions and when USA government would demand the list they would have to give it to them. That list could help unmask other transactions. Maybe that is a reason for a delay and he hopes that number of Monero transactions will grow and he hopes that Monero will increase ring sizes and then he will list Monero, since it will matter much less or none.

I know this is more wishful thinking that everyone cares about Monero well being. But it just crossed my mind when he first mention privacy by default.

My conspiratorial mind thinks that the security features of Monero are exactly why it's not on Coinbase. Coinbase is the closet thing to the "Establishment's" involvement in Crypto. It's a threat to their kleptocracy as they can't track you.

It truly is the coin of freedom.
