I totally agree with you about what the problem with the policy is - but I don't think Coinbase is doing this:

> pretend[ing] that involving themselves in politics isn't political and doesn't have political consequences beyond "crypto good".

I don't think they're pretending it doesn't. I think they're making it clear they simply don't care.

They don't care about climate, or BLM, or the 2020 election, or whatever. They only care about crypto. The world can burn so long as crypto numbers go up.

But at least they're honest about it.
