  2. coinbase is just a crypto exchange

    tradestation crypto = cryptoexchange + stock trading

    I was not trying to attack you when I asked where the bitcoin came from

    I'm always mindful of several origin hops of where the bitcoin originated from and create a few more hops prior to sending to a centralized exchange with aml/kyc sensitivities

    Since 2013 when I first got into bitcoin, Coinbase has been known to lock people's accounts that have sent to/from a darknet vendor

    Paxful is a p2p exchange and used to be non-kyc. I bought a little bit of bitcoin there 4-5 years ago by buying someone's Amazon wish list and sending the items directly to them. It allowed me to use credit card to acquire the bitcoin and take advantage of my Amazon prime membership for free shipping

    I would have sent the paxful bitcoin using advanced coin controls on the local wallet(s) a few times before sending to Tradestation. Bitcoin fees are about 2-3 sats/byte which should be less than 25 cents

    I believe these auto-trigger systems only check sender's address 1-2 hops. I could be mistaken
