 Oh look! EVERYTHING we don’t need. 
 yes 
 the fuck is a smart wallet? 
 It can hold dickbutt jpegs and lets you vote on Razzchain governance issues which lets you leverage your Razzies for double the Limecoin which you can trade for custodial WBTC which you can then spend wherever you like as long as you have enough ETH to pay for the gas. 
 looks like he is more on the cbdc team then on the "freedom change the world team" 🤦🏼🤷🏼 
 Looks like there are still some rugs left to pull 
 Hahaha so he plans to scale blockchains. 
 Super douche 
 Stay humble, stack sats.

 ego death then Bitcoin 
 Talk about ignoring the 800 pound gorilla in the room 
 HONEST QUESTION: 

What the heck do you need KYC usdc for??  

You can just use the dollar. There is no advantage to using USDC through exchanges or otherwise.   I can use cash app, Venmo, zell, visa, mc, etc...

USDC is centralized and captured, so what is the point?
 
 Trading  
 Why not just use dollars? Coinbase has dollars/cash you can trade in and out of. 
 Maybe to pay bills end of month 
 Umm, ok?  Just pay in dollars from a bank account like 99% of people.  Centralized USDC has no value in any way. 
 Not everyone can even if they wanted. Even in the US. 
 As far as I know, everyone who has a coinbase account can in the US. 
 if ur trading shitcoins it makes sense to have a dollar pegged shitcoin to swap into for capital you dknt want to degen at the moment ( full disclaimer ive never used usdc)  
 Interesting.

I just don't see the point, when you can just go on and out of shitcoins using the dollar/cash.  
 its a good question, and i think the answer lies in when you add dollars to coinbase, there is like10 days seasoning before you can withdraw it back out. so if you swap into usdc instead of withdrawing, you dont have to wait for it to season in  your bank, then deposit it back into coinbase. its a tool for people that trade shitcoins within an exchange like Coinbase's ecosystem that dont want to deal with delays relating to pegging in and out of fiat. 
 Hmm. interesting. But you always have to wait to peg out back to dollars .  So why not just trade via their US dollar pair?   
 cross border, instant payments  
 not really, no.  coinbase follows ofac compliance for all payments.  you can't for instance purchase goods in Iran using coinbase USDC. 
 🤦‍♂️ 
 If someone can take it from you, it was never yours 
 Too much 
 FIAT 
 Ego stifles innovation, narrows vision to the self, and obscures the path to the future. Purge it, early and often 
 ✅️ You are Right.....that's  selfish
 
 pedo pizza jack 
 It's not ego. The thing is that when you become a bitcoiner, sell all your shit coins and withdraw to self custody you're likely to never visit their website again. 

That is exactly what happened to me. 

Healing shitcoiners means revenue loss for exchanges.  
 Now I know why ENS is pumping.

 Shitcoin business  
 Looks like a dystopian hellscape 
 This journey has been improving. Waiting on the clearance of my shows, 10,000 emails later and heavy marketing. I want to be the first multi-face insurance that offers many services and many insurances for all sectors commercial and personal. I think consistently learning was the key and learning the next steps. Being number 1 at Discover Card out of 3,000 plus and other places let’s me work hard to finesse what I am best at on the phones. And music if I can have a couple hits but my focal and first love will always be a phone and a computer. 🖥️  
 I never said it was not hard. I think outside forces that made it harder. So now I just walk away. I never want to be the person who wants to demonized for own gratification. Sad but never had any other problems.  
 ergo bad ergot 
 (Flips hair, bats lashes):

Like, what's that?

Like, why would you shake hands with "unwashed masses"? 
 Ego is probably part of it 

But if your core business model is scamming people with shitcoins… 

Isn’t coinbase incentivized to do what they are doing
