  @picdoc581 @BritishHodl We gotta meet normal people where their at if we want people to self custody. No ones gonna roll dice or do any of this other wacky ****. They'll just give their coins to Coinbase or Blackrock. Which I don't care or think is a bad thing, but self custody should be much more approachable for people willing to do it. IMO, seeds are the biggest problem.

  @BritishHodl Mate, you're right about the part that matters most, so let me say it first. The trust chain failed. Coinkite shipped a flawed build for years. Many of us recommended it. Ordinary people had no way to audit the random-number generator. I'm one of them. I lost Bitcoin on July 30. But the conclusion you're drawing doesn't follow. A failure of one custody architecture is not a failure of self-custody. Paper wallets weren't the escape either. Coldcard-generated paper wallet keys came from the same broken generator. That's one of the least-reported parts of this story. More importantly... Across every wave of this attack, not one multisig wallet has been reported compromised. Not one. Single-signature concentration failed. Self-custody didn't. And the ETF doesn't solve the trust problem you're describing. Read IBIT's own filings. The Bitcoin custodian is Coinbase Custody Trust Company. You're saying trust failed... ...then recommending another trust model with a ticker symbol. That's not eliminating trust. It's relocating it. History matters. Mt. Gox. Quadriga. Celsius. Voyager. BlockFi. Genesis. FTX. Those institutions have cost Bitcoin holders far more than every hardware wallet defect combined. For someone completely non-technical with one affected device and nowhere else to go, using a reputable exchange while they learn or migrate is a defensible temporary decision. But making institutional custody the destination rather than the bridge abandons the very breakthrough Bitcoin introduced. Bitcoin didn't give us a better intermediary. It gave us the option to remove one. The lesson from this week isn't that self-custody failed. The lesson is that life-changing wealth should never depend on one key. That's a custody lesson. Not a Bitcoin lesson. And certainly not a reason to surrender the one property an ETF can never deliver: Final settlement without asking anyone's permission.

  Sensible solution in the short term imo. For others considering the same move, make sure you lock Coinbase down with a hardware key and enable transfer protection. Those two things lower risk significantly

  Her problem is she is constantly under immense press by shareholders to sell. Same as Tom Lee with bitmine immersion’s ETH and Micheal Saylor with micro strategy’s BTC. SpaceX and Tesla are not under such pressure holding their BTC on Coinbase prime.

  @WatcherGuru the lag on Crypto Clarity Act-style market-structure is real, but the national security framing is coinbase wrapping its own wishlist in the flag. if the fix is just CFTC/SEC jurisdiction, why sell it as patriotism?

  And to think that many of these losses happened on exchanges. The difference is that in most major CEX hacks or security breaches, users are reimbursed and don’t end up losing everything. But don’t listen to people who claim that using a wallet like MetaMask, Rabby, or even a hardware wallet is somehow easier or safer for the average person. You have to keep track of a device, make sure you don’t lose it, never forget your seed phrase, bridge assets between chains, understand transactions, and avoid signing a malicious smart contract. The reality is that even experienced crypto users and even software developers—can accidentally sign a scam transaction and lose access to their funds. In my opinion, every wallet currently available is still far too complicated for the average person. That’s why my opinion hasn’t changed. If you spread your funds across several major centralized exchanges for example, Binance, Bybit, OKX, Kraken, and Coinbase, with around 20% of your portfolio on each you significantly reduce the risk of losing everything. Even if one of those exchanges were to fail, losing 20% would be far less devastating than losing your entire portfolio. Even though I’m not a fan of CZ, I think his comment on this post is absolutely valid.

  @chainlank WTF Poor bastard would have been better leaving it on coinbase with a physical hardware device / physical key needed

  @MacroCRG Coinbase premium improving while spot stays rangebound is usually accumulation dressed as boredom. If price doesn't follow soon, it's just a polite exit pump before the next leg down.

  @brian_armstrong I emptied my coinbase account and sent everything to Uphold because you’re a piece of ****.

  Origins Network (@OriginsNetwork_) reported 19 minutes ago

  x402 has processed over 166 million transactions since May 2025, and Coinbase handed governance to the Linux Foundation with Google, AWS, Microsoft, Stripe, Visa and Mastercard backing it. Transaction weight shifted decisively upward: sub dollar payments fell from 46% of volume to 4%, while payments above one dollar went from 49% to 95%. Agents are moving real value now. The problem is the identity layer underneath the payment rails is still missing. ACP, the most widely adopted standard, does not include agent identity at all. Origins builds it as the foundation. Agent native identity first, transactions second. Hierarchical delegation, portable reputation, bounded authority. Then the payments land on top of something that actually knows who is paying.

  BitMEX, BitMart, and AscendEX all shut down this month. On-chain DEXs are making the same structural mistake that killed them Three centralized exchanges dead in July. AscendEX on the 1st, BitMEX on the 23rd, BitMart on the 26th. The common take is "bear market cleanup, weak CEXs die, this is healthy." And it is. But the reason they died matters more than the fact that they died Every one of them ran the same model: build your own matching engine, bootstrap your own liquidity, acquire users fast enough to cover the overhead. When the user flow slowed down the economics collapsed. You can't sustain an entire exchange stack on thin volume Here's the part nobody in defi wants to hear: most on-chain DEXs are running the exact same playbook Count the perp DEXs right now - 150+. Count the spot DEXs across every L2 - 500+ if you include uniswap forks. Every single one bootstraps its own liquidity from scratch. Every one fragments the same pool of traders across yet another isolated venue. The only difference from the CEXs that just died is that the liquidity is in smart contracts instead of a company's bank account The result is the same: thin books, wide spreads, poor fills, and a race to acquire users before the treasury or incentive budget runs out. When incentives dry up, volume migrates, and the venue slowly dies. We've watched this cycle play out dozens of times already in defi and nobody connects it to what's happening on the CEX side right now The CEXs that survived (Binance, Coinbase, OKX) survived because they hit enough scale to sustain the overhead. The ones that didn't hit that scale died. In defi the threshold is even harder to reach because you're competing for the same liquidity across hundreds of venues simultaneously The fix isn't "build a better DEX". The fix is stop rebuilding the exchange layer from scratch every time. Shared matching infrastructure that multiple frontends plug into. One deep order book instead of 500 thin ones. The frontend is the brand and the UX. The execution and liquidity layer underneath is shared This changes the economics completely. A new DEX doesn't need to bootstrap liquidity from zero. It plugs into existing depth from day one. If one frontend dies, the liquidity doesn't disappear because it was never locked to that single venue. Users aren't stranded the way BitMart's 13 million users are stranded right now The CEX shutdowns this month aren't just a CEX problem. They're a warning about what happens to any exchange model built on isolated infrastructure. Defi isn't immune to that just because the contracts are on-chain What would it take for defi to move from "every project builds its own exchange" to "every project plugs into shared exchange infrastructure"?

  @JerredStacey came across your post recently about not being able to buy Dovu on coinbase, does the issue still persist?

  It would be trivial to reduce the trust weight for pleb bitcoiners and supplant Bitcoin knowledge with ads for Coinbase/etc. But paid search has never compromised good results to make ad money. Right? From a dude working on this for two years. Just tryna get ppl to listen.
