–> Random dude loses $1500 in crypto. –> BBC writes 1500-word hit piece on it. Man, legacy media *hates* crypto so f'in much... but yeah this article's particulars are truly painful to read. Multichain should be made nearly impossible for normies to enable. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c93gydxj8n7o

The worst part is every time a company says their wallet can't do x They are one contract address in a database away but they just let the customer suffer

It's true, this company seems like it sucks in many ways. Applying the case to the industry as a whole feels more like local news or an opinion piece.

Eh I mean I've seen it happen with coinbase a bunch Sometimes they eventually get their coins back once the platform supports X But always found it crazy that a company like CB would let users suffer for such a small issue that really wasn't a technical problem to solve Just send it back lol, it's custodial wallets 🤷♂️

Do you think this sort of profit-maximizing behavior at the expense of the customer is something specifically endemic to crypto? (I experience this in TONS of stuff. Banks, health insurance, etc) Also, do you think such an anecdote is a national or international story?
