Anonymous Coward User ID: 75790272 Argentina 03/08/2022 06:26 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to www.bbc.com (secure)] Quoting: Bloody Peasant! Crypto-currency trading platform Coinbase has blocked 25,000 wallet addresses related to Russia. The platform said the addresses were related to Russian individuals or entities it believed to have engaged in illicit activity. The addresses were blocked over fears crypto-currency could be used to evade sanctions. Soooo...if a private Crypto company can cut you off...do you really feel safe doing business with them? What if you are suddenly deemed the "enemy" and your assets are stolen by a private company? When you leave crypto with another party then that party has to adhere to rules/laws that confiscate the crypto you let that party hold on to that DOES NOT MEAN CRYPTO IS NOT SAFE. If you hold crypto in your own wallet YOU control your assets. Same with money. If you had your cash in your hand then you control it. If you leave your cash with a third party provider THEY have control.. Are you really this obtuse? Because you are making yourself look that way. |

Isn't the whole idea that it provides anonymity and security? Freely spend your crypto anywhere and be free from government intervention? Might as well just keep your money in the bank... Quoting: Bloody Peasant! We can’t account for your ignorance. Learn about decentralized, peer to peer crypto like Bitcoin. Bitcoin =/= coin base Just like banks =/= wallet full of cash in your pants pocket LEARN DUMMY, LEARN. It’s been around for 13 years, you have no excuse for your own stupidity. |

Do they have access to these assets in another way? If you create a wallet on coinbase and deposit your crypto there. They have poseesion of the wallet and your assetts. Anybody with a brian who deals in crypto would keep the wallet on a thumbdrive in a safe. Keeping possession of it. Kinda like coinbase is equal to a gold exchange where you have 'paper gold', vs keeping physical gold in your closet. Yes, that’s where I would feel my life savings is safe, on a $10 flash drive. No, I’d rather it be in a bank with security and insurance. |

If you have crypto on anything that isnt a hardware wallet, then its not your crypto ... its someone elses. Like having money in the bank. Its not your money, its the banks, and they can take it any time they want to. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 78008151 03/08/2022 07:11 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | THIS IS FUCKING BULLSHIT!!!!! Quoting: Anonymous Coward 80919309 so they can just lock up whoever crypto anytime they want. pretty much. Canada and now Coinbase. these guys will say their wallet is a safe harbor which is technically true but it's vulnerable as soon as you interact over a network. . SELF-CUSTODY IS SAFE. You can always send money from one wallet/address to another without exchanges; the nodes and miners do this for you. If you need an exchange there are always decentralised ones like bisq.network If you need anonymity,m then do NOT use KYC. And do not re-use addresses. You can exchange through or into a privacy coin like Monero, and you can even do this using an atomic swap wothout ANY formal exchange in the middle. Don't be fooled by ignorant people. It is private, and can be as private as you need it to be, using the above tools. |
