So just to recap --- they're not random, they're not really audits and they're not done by E&Y.

Basically, you're just trusting Coinbase.




I'd propose a different summary:

I'd rather trust a publicly-traded company in the United States which has serious accountants certifying the validity of their books and plenty of assets subject to seizure in the the same jurisdiction I live in than some guys who at least one state has already decided don't have the money.

I'm working on my HN etiquette but it's been a long week. If I act a like a fucking smartass, call me on it, and I'll return the favor. Don't be a smartass.


Don't be a smartass.

Agreed! But I'd propose refraining from just making stuff up off the top of your head that is demonstratedly wrong on every level. Don't be an idiot.


I'm going to posit that the burden is on the person carrying both an empty briefcase as far as new information/insight and the word "idiot" is also carrying the burden to issue a substantiative challenge to a thesis that is legible if not eloquent.

What part of "I'd much prefer to hold USDC than USDT personally because I think not all accountants are Arthur Anderson-level criminals" are you objecting to exactly?

Use your words.


Joke's on me: `February 21, 2020`. I've got to stop doing this.
