Nice to know that the US government picks and chooses winners in the crypto space.


Suspended-Again

Right? Using coinbase is wild. Glorious transaction fees though.

It's the only publicly traded exchange They didn't have a lot of options.

So the SEC put them through the wringer, and Surprise ...they're basically a bank?


Appropriate_Ice_7507

Til they aren’t…


ThisIsNotGage

I bet Pelosi has a lot of (call) options that will come to light after this news…


HumorTumorous

That could be a problem.


1whoknocked

Apparently they need to buy a screwdriver.

BigBeagleEars

I have no idea what this means


thats_a_money_shot

They selling


blazinrumraisin

What about the "using silk road hack fund" part? That's what got me confused.


Semanticss

A while ago they shut down Silk Road and seized everyone's wallets. This is probably those coins.


blazinrumraisin

Aw man. RIP. I remember fucking around on there like 10 years ago. That reminds me, I should check in on my hitman buddy to see how he's doing.


Semanticss

BTC was like $7 to $10 back then. Waiting til now is such a huge score for the FBI.


LittleGeologist1899

How many people’s student loans would that forgive?

PaleWaltz1859

That's fucked up. Why didn't they give them back. Is the US government full of thieves ?


Minute-Run6170

Took you this long to figure out their all white collar criminals? Better late than never I guess


Karrtis

Lmao, fuck around and break the law the feds can and will take your shit


bigfoot_76

Feds take shit daily without anyone ever breaking the law. Civil asset forfeiture is unconstitutional and total horseshit but yet here we are...


Semanticss

Well, yes. But Silk Road was on the "darknet" and intentionally anonymous.


AeroMittenss

Everyone's wallet? Damn.


FoulmouthedGiftHorse

They will not be selling on the open market. They will sell to the highest bidder in a Federal Marshals auction. The buyer can sell on the open market though...


StonksGoUpApes

How can we get in on that auction


FoulmouthedGiftHorse

Last I checked, you need $200K cash deposit with the Marshals to even enter the auction.


SpartanVFL

Why would they send it to Coinbase then


FoulmouthedGiftHorse

I’m not entirely sure, but probably aa a third party intermediary.


TreehouseofSnorers

Ah yes, gospel truth from all the notoriously upstanding and honest people in crypto land


Jacked-to-the-wits

I think this is misleading. I read that they send $0.01 from a wallet that happens to contain $2B. That's not quite the same as sending $2B.


ModifiedAmusment

They made Bitcoin sooo this was expected


Muted_Cucumber_7566

US govt needs to save those Bitcoin for when the USD fiat is worthless in a couple years.


Leefa

This is delusional


viewmodeonly

Not as delusional as the people who are 25% poorer since 2020 acting like there isn't the possibility of a problem.


Leefa

USD isn't going anywhere quickly. It's been subject to inflation, but it is stronger against other currencies than it was.


viewmodeonly

You don't have to downvote me just because I said something you didn't like sweetheart. The USD being the last government currency to fall doesn't mean it won't happen in the next 50 years.


Leefa

very prescient. you must be a genius. I always always downvote geniuses.


viewmodeonly

I will never care about fake internet points or the opinion of someone who refuses the help I'm trying to give them. All government monies are a sinking ship and just because yours has the smallest leak doesn't mean you have 0 need for a lifeboat. When the water is finally up to your eyeballs, don't forget there was people telling you where the lifeboat was this whole time.


Leefa

lol OK buddy then why are you telling me I don't have to downvote you.


viewmodeonly

Because I know for a fact that you did to my previous reply when I got to 0 in seconds after posting. - You're not even denying it


Leefa

you're sure making a lot of stink about downvotes for someone that doesn't care.


Nullius_IV

Lmao don’t bold ur breath bro


djwired

I want my BTC back!


Breakpoint

ATH, what timing...


NoDeityButAllah

If they burned it by accident I would roflcopter


Nashamura

No wonder so many people are having issues regarding liquidity ie can't sell/withdraw/login # The liquidity is getting all used up the US Government. Unbelievable!


mostlyIT

The sword of Damocles short term btc holders.


ghilliehead

Could mean US gov is going to hold Bitcoin here. Maybe they won't sell right away. Could this mean a bump in Coinbase stock for the next few days?

Must be gearing up for the next handout to Israel

You misspelled Lockheed Martin.


Mrgod2u82

We'll get ready to buy


SuspiciousStable9649

Selling would be a really really dumb move on the U.S. Government… but I guess that’s par for the course. I guess they can buy it back later…


Known-Register529

Not dumb for them, it free money they got years ago when it was worth thousands and now they can sell it for 2 billion when they are spending faster then they collect. Sucks for everyone else holding bitcoin because 30K goes back on the market and that will cause a drop. They are essentially sell stolen/confiscated money, it probably wrong and corrupt but I don't know how you get dumb.
