If your business needs to comply with ofac today, you'll comply with the ban on self custody tomorrow.

These companies will be locked out of the Bitcoin economy.

Talk to some founders. See what you learn.

Learn why they choose to create a business that is subject to State control? I know why.

I'm just pointing out that as a branch of the State their business models are fundamentally incompatible with Bitcoin.

Describe for me a business that isn’t subject to state control.

No one is suggesting you do anything you don’t find worthwhile. Likewise, it serves no purpose to shake a fist at those who make different choices.

I'm not shaking my fist, I just don't understand the logic of investing in a business model that is 100% guarunteed to be rugged.
