Is this not a good thing?
I thought every OG on this here famous thread hates Coinbase. Amirite?
(To be clear, I don't.)
Definitely not a good thing. Is a terribly risky attack surface.
I do openly dislike coinbase, and Brian A. But in a way similar to how I think the ETFs are a mixed blessing.
I dont know about OGs. I'm just a half baked poker player. Ok many of us want to be somewhat coy about our bitcoin stash, yet if many of us longer time bitcoiners might want to admit that over the years we have been mostly erroring on the side of accumulating and HODLing, then that does not seem like a poker player, even if some of us might have had been putting such value into bitcoin relatively whimpily and others relatively aggressively.
And sure, mistakes were made along the way, too.
I am sad to this day that one of the first posts made on this forum was to announce I would do audio engineering jobs for Bitcoin... Studio for rent for Bitcoin.
And though I am sure I may have caused a client or two to consider looking into Bitcoin I never took a payment in it. :/
Seems we are seeing more adoption now. And hopefully the design of the protocol is strong enough to withstand a different future than what most of us expected, or perhaps wanted. I personally think it is. I am betting it all on that assumption, in fact.
