Sorry, _why_ shouldn't the above apply to Coinbase?

Why is it always Coinbase with these douchey statements?

mason55 Feb 11, 2014 View on HN

Coinbase has stated they're not affected by this issue

niggler Mar 29, 2013 View on HN

Coinbase doesn't fit that bill, if that's what you are pointing to.

I"m pretty sure Coinbase's S-1 proves otherwise :)

Does anyone know how Coinbase is going to handle this?

Coinbase is a centralised exchange, they can ban it right away, no?
