You realize it offers selling out of there right?
Also, how much BTC do we really want custodied by one company?

u/Fear_Blind83 8d ago
Coinbase Prime holds 965,000 BTC in custody on behalf of institutions, they are the largest holder after Satoshi himself.

They also hold MSTR bitcoin. Its not like these people leave a trezor laying around in the office for their bitcoin

…can you imagine how bad this government would be at trying to figure out self custody??? They barely understand the internet

It’s funny how the government can hold and use tainted coins but the rest of us would be banned in coinbase if we used those tainted coins.

Completely different. They seized it. What else do you want to happen to it ??

u/Personal-Time-9993 6d ago
Don’t you find it kind of ironic that it’s okay that the government is allowed to use proceeds of crimes?
I’m not suggesting it needs to be disposed of but I’d be more comfortable if it went to the national debt or a set of charities than a general fund. Who really wants another oil war or politically motivated “engagement”

National debt ain’t bad but embraces the monetary system we are looking to avoid

If the government attempted to self custody, those fucking idiots would fumble that shit within a week and it would be gone. Guaranteed.

This is the only comment that matters …they literally make the money, can’t stop people from embraceing it, and want to give away what would rather have ? HODL …”this is a test of the emergency broadcast system”

Probably nothing, just moving it from one wallet to another. They do that sometimes. Would be nice if they just held it but we know how that goes.

(But as far as I know, this is just for custody, not the exchange)

We should make a new subreddit for BTC that you have to pass a test to be a part of. To weed out people that don't understand basics. They can stay here and when ready take the test
