Wait, so is your BTC on coinbase too?

Never. Its in cold storage.

I just use coinbase as my fiat on-ramp. And the coinbase hot wallet talks to your coinbase account quite smoothly. Very user friendly.

I feel like I missed too much of the hype already. I could be wrong though. Also, I really hate Solana. I used it last cycle and it went down all the time. Also, for an L1 it is way to centralized for my taste.

I'm an Algorand maxi but have dabbled very small amounts in SOL. In $Harambe now lol.

I did the Coinbase Super Bowl ad and got $15 in free bitcoin. That was what, 2 or 3 super bowls ago. Anyway, Coinbase does this rewards thing where they give you free crypto for learning about some obscure cryptocurrencies. I do them every time and exchange the value for the obscure stuff for BTC. My account is over $100 as of today and I’ve never invested a dime of my own money in crypto. I’m going to see how far I can make this free BTC go. Anyone else do this and actually paid attention to it since the viral ad?

SAME!. I tried to do a Yearn learing thing and i ended up sending $35 worth of Eth to someone randomly and now its worth over $100. And no returns! Live and Learn.

I thought cryptocurrencies were great because they weren’t regulated and didn’t need to be regulated? Getting arrested for manipulating their code feels like they’re relying on local governments to help regulate it. What happens when someone does something similar in a country that doesn’t care as much about wire fraud?

Sending funds from coinbase to the coinbase wallet and swapping inapp with sushiswap and uniswap are extremely user friendly right now.

Sounds super user friendly.

Sounds super user friendly.

What you quoted makes me glad crypto is still in its slurp juice era
