wow just got a call from Coinbase Support warning me about the recent exploit
i don't get what all the hate is about, the guy i talked to was super helpful and friendly, he confirmed my account pin and then told me i qualify for their premier cold storage protection service, which id never heard of. seriously great support, he was so friendly and patient, i had to ask him to repeat a lot because the call quality was pretty bad and he had a thick accent.
then he setup new private keys for me and instructed me how to type in 12 words he read me into my ledger, and i moved over all my assets to my new Coinbase Elite Wallet, and the wallet is already showing me a daily Passive Staking Income of over 8%, it seems too good to be true! tomorrow he's gonna call me back and we are moving my mortgage and deed onchain, magic internet money!
bless you Coinbase for being so proactive and assertive in your custody of my account and personal details. always answer calls from cb support, they are just here to help! 1 reply

this is so spot on it's almost even burying the lede, "monetization fatigue" and "cognitive overload" sound like a "dumb consumers" problem when phrased so succinctly, but it's actually way more universal and fundamental
people who want to gamble do it twice a month when they get their paychecks... those same people play candycrush too and they have zero desire to financialize it.
even in that dumb mindless moment where they are playing candycrush, they are cognizant of how it's being used as a thoughtless escape, with no consequences; tokenizing candycrush would rightfully be seen as a scammy moneygrab, because you'd be taking a safe, fun, relaxing escape, and sullying it with vulgar gambling mechanics
it's not a dumb consumer problem, it's a dumb industry problem. solving for "monetization fatigue" and "cognitive overload" is dumb, even more than "people want to gamble", people just want to live their lives without their day-to-day happiness having financially impactful consequences on them long term. 1 reply
