This episode was unexpectedly good. It ends just as it is getting too long for it's own good - but it ends well. Really liking this show.

No matter your opinion on Coinbase as an exchange - THEY are fighting the fight and doing a pretty damn decent job of it.

Coinbase filed an answer to the SEC's lawsuit early Thursday, arguing the regulator violated its due process and is reaching beyond its jurisdiction.
