  @bitcoinXtalk Paying for something in money is not the same as the thing being monetary settlement. You pay a fee to a garbage collector in money. That does not make garbage collection a monetary settlement function. The fee is how you get included. It says nothing about what the transaction is for. The Satoshi genesis block message is 77 bytes in the coinbase field, a field that exists for miners and has always existed for miners. It is not an inscription exploit. It is not a pattern anyone can replicate at scale to use Bitcoin as a file storage database. You are comparing a single coinbase message from the person who created the protocol to a coordinated commercial operation embedding arbitrary data across millions of transactions. Those are not the same thing and you know it.

  Yet to see anything positive sum come from most builders. By being the builder only chain you cater only to net sellers, doesn't take a genius to figure out how that games out in the long run. The reason memecoins became popular is because there were no VCs involved in them, and VCs were the most extractive force in the space throughout the first major altcoin bullrun. Throwing your hands up and saying "oh no it's just extractive" spits in the face of the countless people who are *not* in the space to scam people. And to say so would be hypocritical, you had personal calls with the likes of threadguy etc who stole so much money from people that they had to disappear and lay low in hiding before eventually re-emerging. Your interactions with people like that legitimises extractive scammy behaviour more than memecoins ever have. I know you don't understand them and you and the rest of coinbase clearly think you're above everyone else who dare think having fun should be a part of crypto lest the ghost of gensler haunt your legal dept, but you've definitely been around long enough to know that something that brought people into crypto in the first place was the concept of the pareto funtier - that by baking money into stuff you can have more fun focussing on the things you enjoy and still be able to make money from them. Fun has always been fundamental to crypto. Hell bitcoin probably wouldn't have accelerated into mindshare in the way it did if not for the people who were using it as a currency to have fun with the silk road. And to the part you say is key: In my view bases biggest failing has consistently been understanding that users and customers are the moat, and a focus strictly on builders misses the point and makes an unsustainable one sided economy. I have said this repeatedly for a long time, and even foresaw your shift to shunning human users for ai bots before it happened. Right now you're completely focussed on bots being the future "biggest users of the internet" and the human users you did have supporting you have been ignored and hamstrung by fumbles so repeatedly that you've lost all trust. How important is that moat to you, really? Downstream of that destruction of trust is a destruction of liquidity on base. It doesn't exist right now. What's the plan to actually bring activity back? Is there one that isn't just pump metrics for your shareholders with agentic trading? Path of least resistance, maybe; Path of least respect, definitely. So what's your plan to actually address the part you think is key? Because from the outside looking in and from the countless conversations i've had with other people, it looks like you're just agreeing in an echo chamber and ignoring anyone who thinks you could improve. Having a head start and having been able to "learn" lessons doesn't mean a whole lot. Besides, it's possible for someone to learn from the mistakes of others, so to imply robinhood *must* go through the same motions is outright false, if @vladtenev paid any attention at all they can simply use base as a "what not to do" guidebook for attracting users, and they start off on the same footing. Apple isn't ever first to market, they just try to do things better after having learned what does and doesn't work. Who knows how robinhood will actually do, they've proven plenty of times they don't exist for their users to win (buy button innit), but it's been half a decade since that and most people either weren't actually affected by it or just don't care anymore. And if they're competing with an L2 whose main focus is bots, they don't have a whole lot of competition for the human users, who are the ones who will give them free marketing and help them grow. That's what base failed to understand about memes.

  all of this. base got two things right that very few chains did. 1) it understood the importance of apps to its own success as a chain, 2) it understood it had to be a kind of app store to distribute those apps. these were not obvious theses. but the issue was execution. there's a time-tested way to build app stores. you build your own b-rate version of major apps people want, you use those to draw users, and meantime you encourage everyone to build better versions of your own apps that you'll distribute and market. what did base do? the opposite of this. instead of building apps people wanted, it pushed hard on apps they didn't. (specifically, one app! hearing "base is for everyone" and seeing all efforts around one app was a kick in the face for builders there.) instead of creating a place where everyone knew they'd get distribution, it focused entirely on apps from coinbase founders. instead of leveraging user metrics to surface apps to people, it made its own arbitrary calls on what it thought people *should* use—all of which sounded a lot like vapid virtue-signaling. instead of listening to what its users or its builders wanted, it told them what they should want instead. will robinhood get this right? it's pretty unclear. but the fact they're open to users operating on their chain for unintended use cases means they're willing to embrace one of the major benefits of permissionlessness for a company: to get fuller data about what it is their users want. there's still plenty of time for base to learn this lesson too

  I saw this recently and realized that funny enough I've been directionally correct a lot, but often for pretty odd or basic reasons. It's usually not some sophisticated prediction lol. Top 2 stories: 1. BTC. I first heard about Bitcoin ~2012, when I was a freshman at USC. My rationale was that criminal enterprises and most of the black market economy would prefer transacting in something like this versus carrying cash in suitcases or other physical currencies. I did some research and found that it was already being used in that way through silkroad. And the black market is economy is pretty large, so if you price in that demand versus the supply at the time, it seemed like it was a good bet. But back then the only way you could buy it was to send money through western union to mt. gox, which was a pretty terrible experience and I was never able to pass their KYC successfully. I even remembered photocopying my canadian passport to send over email. So, I didn't buy then, but eventually I heard about coinbase around 2014/2015. It was so much easier, so I was finally able to buy around then. I think price was ~$250/BTC back then. 2. Tesla. I really liked the initial roadster, so I bought some shares. This was also around 2011 during my freshman year. I started seeing a bunch of negative press around them later that year about how they're going to fail as a company, immanent bankruptcy, which caused me to panic sell. But I saw the model s announcement and studied elon's history and realized it's probably smarter to bet on him than against him for this kind of stuff. I even gave my recommendation to buy the stock in my accounting 101 class (Tesla was the company I did the report on). I specifically remember telling everyone in that classroom that if they had $5,000 they didn't need for a few years, they should buy some Tesla shares. I think price was ~$18 back then and was before all the share splits. Of course, I followed my own advice. I wonder how many of my classmates listened to me back then?

  I personally had my funds frozen for no reason on Coinbase in 2024 for 6 months and couldn’t get ahold of anybody besides ai chatbots and Indians who had no idea how to help me. **** Coinbase burn it down

  @FinancialErnie @CleanSpark_Inc @coinbase So as I thought… they are short on cash and need money to fund operations. Thought they would encounter that problem before signing a deal. Better than dilution, I guess.

  @Jingelbells0 That’s likely because Coinbase doesn’t support the new $XCN network yet. Please import your wallet into a supported wallet to access your staked tokens without any issues.

  if you want the fee stream, own the fee layer, not the token. circle (crcl) is the pure version, interest on $77b of usdc float, already down ~65% from its high. coinbase (coin) is the diversified one. the trap: buying access tokens as a proxy. the fees are collected from you

  @coinbase Exit anytime might be the biggest joke you've told all year. Ask users who tried to access their accounts during market chaos how "anytime" that really was.

  I think @coinbase and @RobinhoodApp leaning into prediction gambling is a horrible mistake. How are you claiming you’re the future of banking but then completely giving into a crowded gambling industry. Crypto already has a reputational issue, overcoming that by caving to easy gambling money is short sighted

  BTC structure improved, but spot demand still has not confirmed it. Price is near $62.7K, with funding positive at 0.0065 and open interest elevated around 274K. The issue is Coinbase premium, now back to -0.111. That means derivatives are still more supportive than US spot demand. CVD has also started fading after the rebound. So the setup is constructive, but fragile. For continuation, I want spot premium to improve while BTC holds the higher low. #BTC
