All businesses that want to survive are political. Whether they admit it or not.

How many defense contractors are there? These people do have a vested interest to vote for candidates that increase govt contracts with the private sector. This is a massive industry.

Now that govt is getting more involved in health care, we're seeing that too.

These are trillions of dollars we're talking about.

This is also valid for small businesses too. How taxes are done in a given community. Etc.

I can't emphasize enough the vested interest a business has to be selfish. I'm indifferent on if this is a drawback.

I just wish there was more competition/choices for everyone and like you, I wish people would be more upfront (or self aware) of what they're doing.

P.S. When it comes to Coinbase. What stops them from backing a racist KKK member whom backs Bitcoin/crypto? What stops them from backing an anarchist whom backs Bitcoin/crypto? Etc...etc... This silencing of discussion...it a bit disgusting.
