we all know about lifting the ad ban, but the possibility of acquiring coinbase, which is neither confirmed nor denied right now, is a new one on me.

would facebook be using coinbase as a slot in banking on ramp for their own payment system, which i find kind of hard to believe as there must be better options, or would they go crypto crazy?
