1/ While the damaging language in the infrastructure bill remains, we all owe Sens. @RonWyden @SenLummis and @sentoomey enormous thanks for their work trying to protect innovation and the future of crypto in the United States.

An important message from Coinbase’s CEO ⬇️
1/ There are a few key moments that define our future. One is happening now in the Senate w/ the infrastructure bill. At the 11th hour @MarkWarner has proposed an amendment that would decide which foundational technologies are OK and which are not in crypto. This is disastrous.

The Wyden-Lummis-Toomey amendment is simple. It clarifies in law what most of us already believe—that validators of distributed ledger data like miners & stakers, hardware wallet providers & software developers should NOT be required to report transaction data to the IRS.

There’s been a lot of chatter about the #InfrastructureBill and its potentially negative impact on crypto. Our CEO has some thoughts ...
1/ If you’ve been following threads on the Infrastructure bill, you know that there is a hastily conceived provision related to digital assets. This provision could have a profound negative impact on crypto in the US and unintentionally push more innovation offshore.

When I was a federal magistrate judge, one of my most important jobs was to act as a check on government overreach. Especially when it came to surveillance. This new crypto surveillance provision brings back a lot of bad memories. 1/4
Here are 6 reasons we hate the new cryptocurrency surveillance provision buried in Biden's infrastructure bill:

The rise of ransomware has been horrible to behold. Recent high profile attacks on Colonial Pipeline and food processing giant JBS have led to knee jerk calls to ban cryptocurrencies because the attackers demanded to be paid in Bitcoin. /1

1/ All depends on your perspective...if you believe the government should be the solution to people's problems, then the fiat system with its "controls" has a lot to offer.

1/ Reminder about how Coinbase lists assets: our goal is to list *every* asset where it is legal to do so.

1/ I've seen a bunch of incorrect claims that Coinbase was involved in the recent DOJ seizure of bitcoin associated with the Colonial Pipeline ransomware attack. We weren’t. a thread:
