> Coinbase issuing public statements to SEC “tell us what is a security” were basically a ploy or the lawyers involved were extremely inexperienced.

I take it as a stunt intended shift the layman's perception of Coinbase's legal responsibilities onto the SEC. They're counting on cryptobros using this "SEC won't tell us what's legal" talking point to affect favorable political / legislative change.

But newsflash: government regulators aren't obliged to act as your legal council.
