I most certainly don't.

But the hordes of clueless users who continue to flock to the platform are blissfully ignorant of that fact.

Worse, the fact that coinbase is behaving in a way that's completely violating the spirit of Bitcoin while profiting from it doesn't solve the problem that what they are doing is possible because of a severe limitation of the platform.

I am a big and very long time fan of Bitcoin, but the traceability / fungibility issue has bugged me from day one.

I really wish the dev. community would focus on introducing a fork with an technical solution to this problem instead of polishing the turd with minor stuff no one really cares about like taproot.
