Well this is another move by coinbase to get acquired. They are heavily working towards getting an exit strategy and finding a bigger company to overpay them. Facebook bought whatsapp for like 19 billion dollars, coinbase knows that and they are working for that. I know making money by millions every single day is amazing but having facebook buying your company for billions of dollars would result with huge amounts of money RIGHT NOW compared to making smaller amounts each day.

With that kind of exit they can start a huge ton of different new companies if they want to or just retire and relax for the rest of their lives. Look at the owners of whatsapp or instagram or even early facebook employees, they are living the life. Coinbase is just working towards getting bought out with these kinds of patents and moves.

I gave my best to understand what the heck they are talking about. Two master keys to sign transactions, API keys, ... All in all, I have no idea how they are gonna improve security for their customers, so I'll take their word for it. The other portals I checked also report more or less the same news, so it remains to be see how it all goes.

At the end of the day, I guess, it all revolves around the announced Facebook acquisition of Coinbase.

So they are going to sell the most reputed crypto exchange all around the world?

I don't think so because they know that they are in early stage even if they can sell their company they can make lot of money but why they need to sell already they are making lot of money and if they keep for few more years their value get multiplied many time from the current value.

I will never be surprised in a day we read Coinbase get acquired in the future. Like @rickadone I also think the company is open to discussion.
Actually I can bet Coinbase will become a neo-bank in a near future with a banking license and then a banking corporation will buy it

They talked about users abandoning their private keys before starting to use the new system. They try to control more bitcoin "& bitcoin users" and then offer it to governments as before[1].

The patent cites the issue of customers being required to compromise on the security of their private keys

Also, this system is an update/gaming of the values, as all the currencies within it will be subject to coinbase admins.
We may also see the sale of fake coins just as happened with gold and dollar [bank loans].
