People moralizing accepting the 12k from Coinbase are rich to the point of being out of touch, or dumb.

I'd take that money in a heartbeat.

They are already tracking most of my purchases with no way out. 12k buys a few rent/mortgage payments, which are already tracked out the ass for sure.

I can happily still buy my copies of anarchist cookbook and weed through the regular untraceable methods. Meanwhile I'm 12k richer and they didn't learn shit they didn't already know.

Malicious Compliance is a valuable tool for dissidents. Use it.
