In an interview with Fox Business journalist Eleanor Terrett on April 18th, Deaton stated that he supports Coinbase customers' motivation to protect ordinary people who want to "accumulate a little wealth" in life, and said "this has nothing to do with the cryptocurrency industry, it's about freedom."
