i have already do this. And i always tell to other to avoid them. There are better options than Coinbase in bitcoin ecosystem. Is clear that this company didn't want bitcoin to survive and they work to destroy it.

beware of your keys.
i have been boycotting the coinbase already.
enforcing the bitcoin core is not ever a solution to sustain bitcoin, bitcoin classic is less sustainable but still affordable to majority of the bitcoin users. i support this.

Well, look on the bright side. Your efforts to smother BTC in the crib are working out swimmingly for Monero! [Not as well as ETH tho.  Kiss]

Coinbase is bringing alot of new users to bitcoin.  They are a secure regulated exchange which is what newbies want.  Be careful about wishing they were gone.

The miners have already spoken.  Their not adopting classic.  This whole thing is a non issue.

Core should fight back with positivity and a clear plan.

They have already proven they are incapable of doing this. Their CEO is a scammer. Adam Back ignored bitcoin thinking it was stupid until the price went up to 1k and he suddenly got dollar signs in his eyes.

If they do and I'm wrong though, I will be pleasantly surprised.

Above all else unless Bitcoin itself is healthy then he doesn't have a business. He has some valid points but I think it's past the point that others will take them on board.

I made a thread trying to reopen the request to remove coinbase as a wallet from bitcoin.org (they already said they weren't a wallet anyway so I don't know why they haven't been removed) https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/can-we-reopen-this-pull-request-remove-classicbase-from-bitcoinorg-1387235

Anyway. Spread the word.

That is certainly needed! They really should not be listed there

I'm a core guy but I think armstrong makes some good points.  I don't like that people like you want people to rate them negatively if they don't even use coinbase.  I don't like smear tactics.  Core should fight back with positivity and a clear plan.

You guys want BTC development to be 100% controlled by Austin Hill the Outright Fraudster and Adam 'Missedtheboat' Back?

Well, in that case you bunch of morons deserve what you get.

This thread is a joke. Coinbase has emerged as a voice of reason, while Blockstream is owned by outright fraudsters. Thank God for Armstrong's ability to understand the situation, and make well reasoned points.



Blockstream CEO Austin Hill's first start-up was a scam, made 100k in 3 months off unsuspecting Canadians.

“My basic thesis was this: anyone who was dumb enough to think that they could make money reviewing television shows would pay $49 dollars for a training program,” said Hill. “And anyone who is that lazy will never complete the training program. So they’d just give up and I could sell a $2 dollar training program for $49.”

It worked: he made about $100,000 in three months. (At that point the crowd gave him an ovation... -snip-

Agreed. I've boycotted them since their XT support. Remove all your funds and buy/trade elsewhere. And tell others to do the same!

I don't have a choice in the matter, as they nuked my account last year with no chance for appeal or anything.  Oh well.  I've used Circle since then and it's waaay better for buying and selling.  So I'm down with your cause.

Coinbase and it's CEO Brian Mindweak are the major actors in the latest attack against Bitcoin, called Bitcoin Classic.

This is the first step in a serious attempt by corporations to gain control over Bitcoin.
But they made a little mistake: you should not attack the honey badger.


What can we do?

Simple.

  • Don't use Coinbase.
  • Rate Coinbase negatively everywhere you can.
  • Discourage new users from using them.
  • Reveal the continuous lies and attacks the CEO is posting against Bitcoin and it's developers.
  • Post bad reviews and negative experience reports everywhere you can
  • Contact the investors of Coinbase and let them know that you are stopping to use the service they invested in


Why would the CEO of a large Bitcoin company attack Bitcoin? Because he sees increased profitability for his business if we slowly transition to a chain where his company can have direct influence on the development and increased control over the userbase. Brian Mindweak has shown complete disregard for Bitcoin and its developers on numerous occasions as well as revealing his utter lack of technical understanding of Bitcoin.

Bitcoin is for the people and I greatly respect the developers and all the time they put into this wonderful invention.
We cannot let manipulating companies destroy Bitcoin.
