It does have something to do with US entities. If the goal was anonymity, this move shows that it’s possible for it to be taken away by local entities. Imagine if all countries and localities did this.
Also: re your comment below a reply, yeah sure you don’t need Coinbase to trade crypto. coin ase is complying with local regulations, others will have to follow. So again, the original comment from OP around promises of Crypto is still accurate
- dylkil 4y ago> If the goal was anonymity its a public ledger, the goal wasnt anonymity, it was autonomy
- Eddy_Viscosity2 4y agothat's moving the goalposts. It was about anonymity too.
- strofcon 4y agoJust a nit - it was about pseudonymity, not anonymity. Still worthless tech, but in the interest of fairness. :-D
- ntoskrnl 4y agoBitcoin's original design was a public ledger with all transactions publicly visible. That has never changed since the beginning.
- Eddy_Viscosity2 4y agoTrue, but a not insignificant part of the pitch was also pseudonymity (rephrased from anonymity from strofcon's comment).
