They talk about having "invested" in the tremendous waste of time and effort that is "compliance", simply to enforce ridiculous jurisdictional fiefdoms' opinions about who you can or can't send your money to.

Imagine a world where this terrible waste weren't mandated by the men with guns. Imagine a world where cryptocurrency executives didn't try to spin this huge coerced waste as a positive.

This is the reason cryptocurrency was invented. Shapeshift is the right direction. Coinbase is the wrong one.
