Episode #307 Lex Fridman Brian Armstrong Coinbase Monero XMR

Lex asks about the issues around listing Monero and privacy coins in
general. Brian starts with explaining it's about compliance with AML
capabilities, in order to keep financial licenses. He then briefly
shills zcash, but overall says he think privacy coins are really
important, because financial privacy is critical and hopes they
succeed.
Coinbase has a blockchain analytics business that sells services to
the government. Monero is not good for its business.
It’s honestly strange to me that coinbase won’t list it if kraken has
no problems with it
Exactly. The excuses fall a bit flat while Kraken keeps it listed.

“Right in the height of the bitcoin bubble, the Paradise Papers comes
out and shows that Tether and Bitfinex are controlled by the same
people,” said Kyle Roche, the lead attorney filing the complaint. “The
fact that this overlapping ownership structure was hidden until
November 2017 is shocking.”
