For sure but cowardly way to leave tue US market on Thanksgiving day. Horrible timing...
Why cowardly, what should they have done differently if the pressure from the USG is likely happening now?
Alternatives were to:
- wait around un-registered in the US market and likely incriminate themselves further
- start pursuing kyc and compliance, which would also mean they'd absolutely need to shut down asap until compliant
They made the only move they could as a custodial service imo. It's why nostr:npub13ljnkd633c7maxatymv3y2fqq8vt3qk7j3tt0vytv90eztwgha9qmfcfhw has never served US users from the start
Medium. I would understand leaving the US market if they executed this plan better such as announcing it and NOT doing it abruptly when all of the US is eating and drinking all day, distracted by family events.
ser, can we skip lightning and go basechain to ecash?
Finally someone posting something reasonable about this whole situation 👍🏻
Im not angry at WOS, obviously they are reacting to a threat. The problem is we don't know exactly who the threat is.
