Base’s native coin is USDC and in some ways the L2 is a vampire attack on $eth. 

Yes? No? Dumb?

Idk about USDC native coin. Agree ETH isn’t needed for gas which affects value accrual but most apps and users still price assets in ETH terms

I can only think of NFTs as something that is strictly priced in ETH. Everything else was always in $ value, no?

I mainly write code and read books. Sometimes I take pictures. I wish I’d write.

I think people also trade tokens to stack the native token (i.e. SOL or ETH) - even if they think about their port holdings in USD terms, they "exit" to the native token as opposed to exiting to USDC
