What's the point of using a platform like Coinbase if your privacy is sacrificed to the government? At best Coinbase services those who don't care about privacy or government oversight into their finances. Any sane individual would use other methods to exchange. The purpose of anonymous currencies is to keep finances anonymous..

Fluffypony has gained at least 50 pounds since his last profile picture. Maybe he needs to lose some weight and get back on track with what's important (the project) instead of bending the knee to suck armstrongs cock for a Coinbase XMR pair.

Monero devs (particular fluffypony) have no idea what they do
^Best true quote in crypto from a real developer and I can't agree more.. be it code, managing online wallets (thefts) or project direction - Fluffypony has no idea what he's doing. It's taken him three years to organize a basic QT GUI and the community is hyping that as the next best thing since the original Bitcoin QT.. The only thing that's actually worked out was his Oasis DNM scam but we all know that won't last forever. A DNM (oasis) pops up just long enough to add XMR and convince AB to get in on the pump and dump then goes offline to avoid legal ramifications.. Seems legit.. At some point you have to show commerce and user adoption instead of these hyped scam pumps. I use the word scam because anyone who falls for them has been mentally scammed into believing these prices are justified.
XMR "devs" were quick to hype Polo when they gave XMR it's own market but didn't say anything when Polo started demanding user IDs to withdraw funds. It's plain as day to see they're here for the pump and not for the privacy initiative otherwise they would of voiced their privacy concerns to the community about Coinbase or Poloniex instead of breaking bread with them.
But hey at least he's not FUDing other projects anymore.
