Hi, I can't link my phone number to my t-mobile account because I'm using the SIM card I bought in a Fortinet FEX and can't receive a text message.

I can understand why large banks are opposed to cryptocurrencies – the technology has the potential to disrupt much of the traditional banking model. This is not a fight for DC to pick sides on. We need to regulate with a light touch that doesn’t kill innovation in the US.

[Brian Armstrong @brian_armstrong]

One idea I’ve been contemplating is that Bitcoin may be the key to extending western civilization.

The natural trend of whichever country has the reserve currency is to inflate the money supply and increase deficit spending until it loses that advantage. The U.S. is somewhere on this journey, which many have discussed including Dalio in The Changing World Order.

The Yuan and Euro have their own issues and aren’t viable alternatives currently, so the assumption is the U.S. can continue to inflate, but what I think many haven’t considered is that people have an alternative now with crypto. They may start moving fiat into crypto, as an antidote to inflation.

Contrary to what some may assume, I don’t think this be a threat to the dollar and the U.S., I think it will be a natural check and balance that will complement the dollar, and be the best defender of long term American interests (and western civilization more broadly). It’s better to move from dollars to crypto than to another country or region’s fiat. I also think both fiat and crypto will co-exist for a long time. They are more complements than substitutes. And dollar backed stable coins like USDC, or flat coins, will play a major role in unifying these worlds.

Still thinking this through. What other good takes are there on this?

[Brian Armstrong @brian_armstrong]

Since the founding of Coinbase back in 2012 we have taken a long-term view. I knew we needed to embrace compliance to become a generational company that stood the test of time. We got the licenses, hired the compliance and legal teams, and made it clear our brand was about trust with our customers and following the rules. We wanted to increase transparency and raise the bar on trust, so we became a public company in 2021.

This meant we couldn't always move as quickly as others. It's more difficult and expensive to take a compliant approach. You can't launch every product that customers want when it’s illegal. But it's the right approach because we believe in rule of law.

Today's news reinforces that doing it the hard way was the right decision. We now have an opportunity to start a new chapter for this industry. We took a lot of arrows operating here in the U.S. due to the lack of regulatory clarity, and my hope is that today's news serves as a catalyst to finally achieve that. Americans should not have to go to offshore unregulated exchanges to benefit from this technology. This industry should be built right here in America, in a compliant way, under U.S. law. We're going to stay here in the U.S. because we believe in economic freedom and that the U.S. democratic system will eventually get this right.

Decentralization and crypto is a powerful tool to update the financial system and build a global economy with more economic freedom. We're just getting started 🚀

My statement on the SEC suing Coinbase, inc.

[Brian Armstrong @brian_armstrong]

Regarding the SEC complaint against us today, we're proud to represent the industry in court to finally get some clarity around crypto rules.

Remember:
1. The SEC reviewed our business and allowed us to become a public company in 2021.
2. There is no path to "come in and register" - we tried, repeatedly - so we don't list securities. We reject the vast majority of assets we review.
3. The SEC and CFTC have made conflicting statements, and don't even agree on what is a security and what is a commodity.
4. This is why the US congress is introducing new legislation to fix the situation, and the rest of the world is moving to put clear rules in place to support this technology.

Instead of publishing a clear rule book, the SEC has taken a regulation by enforcement approach that is harming America. So if we need to avail ourselves of the courts to get clarity, so be it.

Btw, in case it’s not obvious, the Coinbase suit is very different from others out there – the complaint filed against us is exclusively focused on what is or is not a security. And we are confident in our facts and the law.

We'll get the job done. In the meantime, let's all keep moving forward and building as an industry. America will get this right in the end.
