Blockchain Graveyard
Funny, after reading the article I decided to go to Coinbase to see the Bitcoin prices, and this is what I find:<p><i>We have reason to believe you reside in a country in which Coinbase is prohibited by law from doing business (Iran, Islamic Republic Of) per the sanctions imposed by the U.S. Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control. As a result, we’ve unfortunately had to close your Coinbase account.</i><p>I'm not Iranian and I'll comply with their KYC requests, but every day Coinbase feels more and more like PayPal. I thought this is what we were trying to avoid in the first place.<p>PS: Happily, I had no funds on the account. I hope this helps as a reminder to others: keep your money in your own private wallets.
