A totally unsurprising and now deleted post from a prominent voice in the ETH community complaining about how terrible Coinbase customer service is Don’t put money in Coinbase you are not comfortable with losing access to at any time, or losing entirely. Do not let them trick you into thinking they are comparable with a bank. They are not. Not on a support level, not on a compliance level, and your money is not insured there. Coinbase does not want to build “better”. They are not somehow virtuous because it’s “onchain”. They want to usurp the existing financial rails and replace them, and with less consumer protections for the little guys To put a point on it: Coinbase does not care about you, full stop. Dealing with them is a reality for most Western crypto users, whether through the dominance of Base in spaces like Farcaster, getting a stable job in the industry or having a place to custody your funds. I understand that, I am saying be judicious and careful when you engage

If you view how Coinbase is approaching crypto under the same lens as how Microsoft approached operating systems, a lot of their behaviors suddenly make a lot more sense. Embrace, Extend, ... ^- we are here. It's not a diss or a dunk, just the nature of the corporate beast. It's not like they lied about it or hid their intentions either: https://www.coinbase.com/blog/the-coinbase-secret-master-plan

i think it's fair to call them out as Hudson did, but it's not fair to say "they don't care, they just want to usurp the existing system" that seems like a stretch coinbase/base could integrate policies of protection like simple insurance.. but the laws+tech haven't quite caught up yet unless you're happy to trust Multicoin and Wintermute to backstop a lot of what coinbase offers could and probably will be overtaken by bigger banks in the near future. but those guys definitely won't care about brypto

the lack of response to me from the coinbase team ab: copy trades, mints that you cannot dismiss, and so on is pathetic and sad. they lose me as an advocate.
