Just goes to show how big Coinbase has become. Visa itself won't accept any crypto, so Coinbase, as custodial wallet, will simply deduct the equivalent crypto from your account when you use the Visa card.

I signed up to their debit card, it arrived in literally 2 days. I only transferred £100 worth of corn to try it & it’s really good so I can definitely vouch for them.

You can check your balance on your crypto wallet app, it’s great.

Good AM Bitcoinland.

The battle for $10k continues - back up over for the time being... currently $10144USD/$13425CAD (Bitcoinaverage).

Everybody having a shot when it crosses back up?

What if he didn't give them the private key? (or someone else has it, and it gets moved ...)

What if he kept the coins in a wallet app in a PC, laptop, or cellphone? Or a hardware wallet and they found the seed phrase? Or they simply found his private keys?

What if they already moved them?

It takes extra precautions to protect your private keys.

I'm pretty sure that whatever gov agency claims they got the coins, already moved them to a wallet they control. That would be a huge mistake to assume mere physical possession of a computer or desktop or laptop wallet means they have the coins. They had better move it already.

Imagine if the perps cousin or friend or other trusted (or untrusted) person had a copy, and moved the coins before the gov agency could, after the perp got locked up. He can honestly claim he didn't do it, and all the gov would have is some "public address" they "seized" ... (from a bonded courier who happens to be an attorney so can't say anything about it?)

It's like they wrote this article just for WO.

While the crypto community is talking about “altcoin season,” one of the world’s oldest crypto exchanges is calling BS on everything that is not BTC.

And then there's these guys. Reminding us all yet again that if you don't hold your private keys to your corn you aren't actually holding corn.

Binance co-founder and CEO Changpeng Zhao explained in a tweet sent earlier today that one of the market data pushers experienced an issue, but the matching engine did not, so no funds or data were lost. He also said in a separate message that futures trading is continuing normally since it employs a separate matching engine.

Now here's a nice deal for the upwardly mobile, start a coin and raise $45,000,000. But... don't do any reporting then get fined by the SEC for $500,000 3 years later. That's a fierce gumming I tell you what.

Enigma settled with the SEC, agreeing “to return funds to harmed investors via a claims process, register its tokens as securities, file periodic reports with the SEC, and pay a $500,000 penalty,” the statement detailed.
