  I don't have a problem with them not wanting to support a coin. The thing I have a problem with is them having a huge buy button where I can buy a coin, but I can't transfer the same coin in to the system to sell. That's the same (opposite, but still manipulative IMO) thing that Robinhood did with GameStop and the online sentiment seemed to be that it was bad. It's kind of a moot point for me anyway because I don't think I'd sell. By the time I'd pay an accountant to do my taxes, plus the taxes, I wouldn't end up with much. I just wanted to point out how the whole "you can buy, but you can't sell" thing exists in crypto and no one even blinks.

    Robinhood did something that was actually wrong — offering a sell feature, and then taking it away later when they overspent things they didn't actually have. Only offering Buy isn't too far off from normal for shitty centralized exchanges, e.g. PayPal lets you buy BTC but not sell.

      I think it should be illegal. It's more of a stock store than a stock market if you can only buy and not actually trade.
