For stablecoins, I think normal people dont think thar much about the shadiness but more if it works or not. Tether has been keeping their stablecoin stable for 6+ years, for normal users it looks good for quite wide variery of uses. Of course no one is saving their pension in USDT but there are lots of shorter term use cases.

Probably all wealthy countries are big destinations for dirty money. Wouldnt make sense to bring dirty money to poor country because there it would attract more attention.

I can't wait until Bitcoin makes this kind of things easier. Carrying cash in plastic bags sounds such a boomer thing to do.

Just use stablecoins bro

> The fact that Coinbase did a DPO instead of some kind of fancy DeFi-based offering is telling in their potential lack of conviction in the ability to offer public securities at this stage in the game through some of these smart contract based platforms. I'm sure @barmstrong has spent a lot of time thinking of this, I certainly would be if I was him.

I think the reason is very simple. Traditional markets have way more investable capital, which leads to better liquidity and higher price. Yes it is possible to issue an equity token, but credible companies will get better valuation and liquidity from traditional equity markets.

Makes sense. All work and no play makes Jack a very dull boy.

The bitcoin blockchain is full of transactions, and lots are probably being made offchain on Lightning Network or on centralized services. Your claim is that all these transactions are for speculation only (which is quite common claim). On what data do you base your claim?

Coinbase is custodying 760k BTC or so... thats more than 5% of all BTC in existence.

Thats cheap transaction fee for buying my yacht or private island with BTC

If tumblers are a problem, why wouldnt monero be? You could view it just as a BTC that has built-in tumbler. I dont really follow this logic of Monero shills. Exchanges can ban both tumblers AND monero.

The exchange taking it wont be knowingly taking it, it is likely just a exchange that doesnt have system for detecting it.

There are thousands of btc exchanges all around the world. For sure there are some where they dont even know about bitfinex.

Depends on the kind of transaction you are doing. For bigger transactions it is actually nice not having to pay percentual fee as with Bitcoin. However with coinbase I believe they are high percentually.

That is quite literally illegal nowadays in many jurisdictions.

Not very valuable opinion if you dont have any arguments.
