I have been using my Coinbase card for a while now which is super handy. I mostly use it for eating out or whatever, and it pays me back in different crypto. But it is always in the back of my mind that at any time it could go away.
It is nuts how hostile the US government is toward cryptocurrencies. I feel like it is one of these things where they'd love to make it illegal, but then get FOMO because the rest of the world would still have it.
Unfortunately, the Coinbase card isn't available in Europe... 😒
And I do agree that at any time it could go away... I have a Wirex card too, and it just stopped working in the EU a few months ago... They said that they would change a bank and they would work, but that didn't happen...
So, in some way, the thing with Binance was expected to happen, especially because of the pressure that was happening in the US, which is always flowing into Europe... Unfortunately, I think that the EU and the US are working together on this... 😒
Yeah I think you're right man... I hate to be a conspiracy theorist but my gut feeling is that these guys just hate the idea of a currency that is beyond their control to fully manipulate. Although you could argue that they do manipulate it by causing the price to crash by threatening legislation.
But we all know that behind closed doors these same governments are buying up BTC as they price manipulate it.
Yeah, too bad about Coinbase, I should have guessed it was US only.
