It is quite interesting, but in today news COINBASE admitted that, during the Twitter Hack, blacklisted the hackers wallets, and stopped more than 100 people to send up to $280.000. This is one of these cases when a centralised institution will act quickly in the interest of the client, without asking for permission.
Now, if you were stupid enough to send your Bitcoin to Obama or Elon Musk to double them, will you be very upset that Coinbase robbed you of the oppotunity and didn't let you to act on your instincts, saving your money, or you will be grateful, once you find out you were close to lose your hard earned crypto?
From another point of view, this is also opening a whole can of worms. What if Coinbase decide to not let you to do something else with your money? Not preventing from losing, but for example (example randomly chosen), they will stop everyone to spend money in Latveria, as every fund used in their will help a dictature to stay in power? Who will draw the line for you? Who will decide your fate?
The main question is:
Will you prefere to have a babysitter taking care of your crypto, preventing you to do silly, stupid things, without full access to your crypto or will you prefere to have your private keys, and learn through your mistakes, even if this will make you to lose money?
I am listening...
