reply guys

I posted about this years before the IPO but Coinbase has never been our ally in as much as they never let us early crypto folk, who built their platform for them effectively, invest 

Instead they let professional basketball players in

It's pretty much illegal to allow retail to to invest meaningful amounts in private companies. 

I was in charge of this fundraising round (Series D, the one that Kevin participated in). We looked into a bunch of options but there are were too many complications.

It's not until you fund raise that you realize how "rigged" our system is as a result to the SEC Act of 34. It is biased toward making wealthy people wealthier. 

I put "rigged" in quotes, because it wasn't intentional, it is an unintended byproduct of trying to protect unsophisticated investors.
