From "early on" I never touched Conbase or any exchange.
In fact I never did any KYC except from my first ever purchase of bitcoin from a bitcoin ATM machine (it wasn't even regulated back then).
So I really don't understand what he's talking about.
Coinbase isn’t going anywhere. The government is just creating monopolies because that’s what they do. When it’s all said and done, a few select exchanges and shitcoins will be “trustworthy”
