Hear me out ... If Coinbase gets hacked Bitcoins moons. Why? Because millions of coins will be considered non spendable. Sure it might take a dip in the short term but after the market settles down hodlers who keep utxo within their self custody will be rewarded. The same thing happened with Gox and Finex. The real play will be to short coinbase.

When Coinbase ever gets hacked, this industry is going into an economic depression of its own: - All the BTC held in the ETFs gone - All of $MSTR BTC gone - BTC held by Public companies gone - BTC held by US Mining companies gone 🍿 image

Why would the coins be unspendable? I think they would need to be sent to a dead wallet (say Satoshi’s stack for example 😎), but likely the Bitty will just get coin-joined to a set of juicy bags.

IMO it’s more likely that Coinbase is the only place allowed to fractional reserve bitcoins right now. With the involvement of and support from governments and traditional finance. That’s my call on how they’re achieving this price suppression.
I have not heard of any instances of Bitcoin being seized that went through coinJoin. I am open to learning how one might do that 😎
One can give up the keys or get extorted for them, but properly CJd Bitty that went into properly stored multi-sig?
