Is Brian much better himself? he used to piggyback on the whole cypherpunk thing and now auto-reports people to the IRS and surveils your TXs after you withdraw from Coinbase. Also was on the whole NFT bandwagon which is a good test to find people who are just looking to make a buck. I've never used Coinbase but apparently you can't top up without logging into Plaid and leaking all your financial data, further showing a lack of care for consumer privacy.
