You will always have the option to transact directly on the blockchain, just like you have the option to send email with hand-crafted SMTP messages. Coinbase offers convenience, take it or leave it.
- simias 8y agoThat's like saying "you will always have the option to use cash. Banks offer convenience, take it or leave it". It's true but not massively insightful.

It is very hard to be part of the traditional banks network. We can debate if it is better that there is much higher cost to entering but overall if the backbone is open then it should help innovation.
