I guess those money were used to pay the license fees for each state so that they could start the operation in US with a big coverage

You may want to read the article. It explains that this is basically an investment in coinbase operations and expansion, which is good for bitcoin, but not the same as someone buying 75 million USD worth of coins. I did read the article, but I still don't understand. 75 millions is a very large sum, how can they spend so much in coinbase operations and expansion? are they planning to advertise on TV? |
I used to be a citizen and a taxpayer. Those days are long gone.

You guys are seriously going to trust a brand new account posting something like this? The price is on the increase but it's very steady at the moment, nothing dramatic is going to happen yet, I'm expecting it to return to $300 - £350 and stay there if nothing goes horribly wrong.
That is my hope too. Stable price is what we want. and steady price is what you got. |

I'm working on putting together a legal team in SF. Not attempting to hurt Bitcoin, but not getting Rick Rolled either... Not sure why more Bitcoiners aren't pissed about this. Coinbase fucked us royally in a number of ways. |

Name one. Seriously? Lying to the media, not correcting the media, high pressure sales, market manipulation and I'm sure the list goes on. |

High pressure sales is code for butthurt, but then I see you are a buttcoiner and are used to it. The rest is unsubstantiated and suspicious allegations. |

All this pump and dump, and sudden price drops and spikes are possible when majority of bitcoin is hold by only couple of people. When you sell large amount of bitcoin from one source market will go crazy instantly, people start to panic and that is why we can't have stable bitcoin. |

This is Charlie Lee at Coinbase. I can confirm that we are indeed in the SF financial district. The HQ pictures are not staged. lol
The reason why we don't publicize our actual address is for the exact reason mentioned in this thread. Like someone said, banks and jewelry shops have been robbed for a lot less money. We have implemented security measures (cold storage, key splitting, ninja guards, etc.) to prevent rogue employees and armed gunmen from stealing the bitcoin we have stored for our users, but people don't know that. After hearing stories of how BitStamp lost 19,000 BTC, a crazy guy might just think it's worth the risk to come rob our office. And if they manage to get through our security to get to our office and find out that we aren't able to access the bitcoin, they are not going to be very happy. You can all imagine that this is NOT a situation we want to ever see ourselves in.
We'd rather be safe than sorry!
And to answer some of your questions.
A) We never claimed to be licensed in CA. The press did. I guess they just assumed we were. They also incorrectly claimed that we supported 25 states, when in fact we only supported 23 states + Puerto Rico at launch. We just started supporting Nebraska today.
B) The coinbase.com/lunar site was just a fun way to tease people on the internet and to create some buzz.
C) We've had USD wallets on Coinbase for 1.5 months now. You could have easily gotten money on our system and bought coins before we released the exchange. And if you had money in your USD wallet at launch, you would have been able to use our exchange immediately.
D) Our VC money is not meant to be used to speculate on Bitcoin price nor is it sane for us to support the Bitcoin price. We do not control the price. The market does.
E) It's not a fake address. We receive mail at that address.
