Tldr?
* Customers can pay for Google Cloud in crypto
* Google will use Coinbase to manage (and sell?) those funds
* Google has some blockchain data in BigQuery that developers can read.
* Coinbase will use Google Cloud as a customer
I work for google, no internal info here, only my personal opinion.
As a cryptocurrency skeptic, this sounds like a win for Google Cloud with a new customer… and not much else?
- kylecordes 4y agoI would be concerned to pay Google in this way. There are a lot of discussions including on this site about how Google's AI bot is prone to banning accounts, and then it is difficult or impossible to reach a knowledgeable and empowered human support agent to get unbanned. It seems like that bot would automatically add some level of suspicion to an account that is paying in crypto.
