Founders

Welcome to @barmstrong, co-founder and CEO of Coinbase! 

He’s kindly agreed to do an AMA. Reply with your questions. :)

Hey Brian, been a while since my days at CB so not sure if you remember me. I’m curious to hear what your feelings are towards privacy preserving coins that still work with KYC/Compliance? Any chance of ever listing those?

Thanks, Brian. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised to see what we're building over at @quilibrium with respect to solving the bad actor problem without sacrificing user privacy. 🥂

Very open to it - I think we can and should see a greater % of transactions in crypto be private over time. Like the internet moving from HTTP to HTTPS.

I suspect the more likely path to adoption is to add optional private transactions to ETH, rather than a privacy-only chain/coin (which attracts bad actors).
