Turkey bans use of cryptocurrencies for payments

We are already there. Europeans all use Coinbase and other US exchanges. Coinbase alone brought over $80B in market cap to the US. 100 times more than the market cap of Yahoo when it IPOed.

They certainly don't.

Coinbase is one of the, if not THE most expensive exchange on the planet.

Their infra stack is a disaster, and their feature set, espectially when it comes to transacting with non-US bank is a freaking nightmare.

Only the captive US market that can't use EU-based exchanges is forced to use coinbase.

Also, Germany and three other European countries are left out explicitly by their EULA. You can create an account and use it for trading, but this would be against their EULA.
