  Day 1 Base builder here As a bootstrapped solo dev I've driven close to $200M in volume on Base, paid users ~$1.3M, which is 80% of the total revenue Cliza generated, Cliza being the launchpad I built that shut down earlier this year... I still wear her as my PFP Let's rewind to mid last year Cliza was one of the hottest launchpad on Base, paying the highest % to creators besides Flaunch, which paid 100% DexScreener's Top 10 Base chart had 5 Cliza coins including the #1 spot, and this was largely due to great timing (read: luck), as Cliza had launched a couple of months before the whole launchpad wars erupted Even though the coins were almost all memes, I thought I was doing the ecosystem some good, with users bridging over from Solana to trade some of those coins Cliza started dying as soon as Coinbase and Base started heavily pushing Zora, you can literally layer the charts and see the exact start of the downfall, I wouldn't even have to label Zora or Cliza, I could even remove the dates from the chart and anyone could see it very clearly Now fast forward to 2026, when I pointed this out in passing to Jesse very recently, he simply dismissed it as "oh I don't think it's that zero-sum", but by that point the damage was already done, it was way in the past and I didn't push back on it, the meeting was about something else anyway But this is the same guy who reached out to me first in my DMs during their Zora push saying that he recognised their campaign could potentially hurt Cliza and that he "understands", I really believed him back then, his emotive language is extremely persuasive Brian seems very naive here, not realising that what he and Jesse are doing or have done is extremely negative-sum, pushing corporate interests and not really seeing what happens at street level Attempts to kingmake something the market didn't want failed miserably, while the whole "build and you will be rewarded" narrative kept getting pushed, hurting both retail and builders on the chain Fading memes and pushing creator/content coins don't make it positive-sum (they're all ERC20s), nor does the corporate-interest-driven favouritism that permeates the full Coinbase stack - you've hurt and/or driven away genuine builders creating net-new experiences and onchain primitives Although Ansem has a great point about Coinbase/Base and memes, their support for memes at the individual coin level was actually executed quite well and neutrally, people forget most memes on the chain are discoverable on the main Coinbase app since they made that change last year, but I wish they extended that same neutral support to builders on merit I still want Base and Coinbase to do well but at this point I don't see why I should keep building on Base when leadership genuinely believes what they're doing is positive-sum for the ecosystem I hope they recognise the damage that they've done and also hope that it isn't irreversible

  The most surprising part is that you actually had the support of almost every major Base community. I genuinely can't think of another project that united so many different communities around a single story. Yet the people who never seemed to notice were the ones leading Base and Coinbase. Instead of recognizing one of the most organic narratives on the chain, they chose to prioritize creator coins and other initiatives. That's exactly the disconnect so many builders have been talking about. @grok have money, base:0x3ec2156d4c0a9cbdab4a016633b7bcf6a8d68ea2

  Half my timeline is shouting ALTSEASON because BTC dominance dropped. Nobody checked which way the money is walking. The read: BTC dominance 54%, down from 58% BTC price around $60k, down roughly 18% on the month Coinbase premium negative 50 straight days US spot ETFs, 8 straight weeks of net outflows Falling dominance WITH a falling price is not rotation into alts. It is capital leaving the building. Real rotation looks like dominance down and price flat or up. That is not what this is. Same chart. Two very different stories. One of them is a lot more expensive. Reads, not advice. 18+.

  Softfork Mechanic #BIP-110 (@GrassFedBitcoin) reported 19 minutes ago

  Why I think many who are less optimistic about BIP110 than I am are mistaken - The "Economic Node" concept. This emerged as a way to dismiss obviously frivolous nodes that get spun up in an effort to astroturf forks within Bitcoin. Very quickly during the fork wars people realized - "Hey, these nodes might not actually represent any real activity within the Bitcoin ecosystem, they're just there to warp the stats on node tracking websites and make something look like it has more support/opposition than it does." I will point out that that is *not* what has happened with BIP110/Knots in general - those are real people which @start9labs can attest to, having sold millions of dollars worth of servers to people over the last couple of years who overwhelmingly bought them in order to run Knots. That is not fake and is corroborated through various imperfect heuristics. However the point I want to make is that the most intimidating of economic nodes - i.e the ones run by mining behemoths like Antpool or exchanges like Coinbase - are not where anyone should look when attempting to gauge support for a soft fork - especially a controversial one. (At least not until very late in the day.) These nodes obviously represent a huge on-chain footprint, but conversely, they are run by companies who will be the last to take a stand on anything controversial as it has the potential to create drama for them over a decision that isn't theirs to make anyway. However the lesser economic nodes aren't concerned with that. They don't have legal/PR depts or shareholders who need to sign off on these things (or who will sue them if they do something "reckless". They can just adopt a new client if they think it's good for Bitcoin. When Bitcoin is in crisis mode with difficult decisions to make, the institutions are going to be the last to choose a direction and that is a *good* thing. Ideally soft forks to start as grassroots movements, and while the nodes indicating support for them may not be run by billion dollar mining empires/exchanges, as long as they represent real Bitcoiners, the change will be coming from the correct place - from those least likely to be under duress unlike large industry players who necessarily always would be.

  @9yearsTildone That's not technically the same as paying to put data in blockspace. Whenever you mine a block miners are required to put something in the coinbase data field, it's a mandatory field. Satoshi put that newspaper headline in the first block's coinbase data field.

  🚨 Coinbase and Singapore Police prevented over $4.2 million in crypto scam losses during a six-week joint operation. Using blockchain analytics, authorities identified 145 potential victims before they sent funds. Coinbase, OKX, Gemini, and four other exchanges shared customer data, allowing police to contact victims directly and stop the transfers before the funds were lost.

  BITCOIN - Decentralized & P2P (@Cipherhoodlum) reported 26 minutes ago

  @ODELLXYZ A thought experiment: Suppose the largest mining pools, BlackRock, Fidelity, Coinbase, Binance, and the largest custodians all agree to support a new set of Bitcoin rules. Millions of retail holders object, but they do not decide what ETFs hold, what exchanges list, or where most institutional capital flows. If the people controlling the infrastructure and the liquidity choose one chain, why should we assume the market will choose the other?

  zk. (@zk_lmao) reported 27 minutes ago

  Yet to see anything positive sum come from most builders. By being the builder only chain you cater only to net sellers, doesn't take a genius to figure out how that games out in the long run. The reason memecoins became popular is because there were no VCs involved in them, and VCs were the most extractive force in the space throughout the first major altcoin bullrun. Throwing your hands up and saying "oh no it's just extractive" spits in the face of the countless people who are *not* in the space to scam people. And to say so would be hypocritical, you had personal calls with the likes of threadguy etc who stole so much money from people that they had to disappear and lay low in hiding before eventually re-emerging. Your interactions with people like that legitimises extractive scammy behaviour more than memecoins ever have. I know you don't understand them and you and the rest of coinbase clearly think you're above everyone else who dare think having fun should be a part of crypto lest the ghost of gensler haunt your legal dept, but you've definitely been around long enough to know that something that brought people into crypto in the first place was the concept of the pareto funtier - that by baking money into stuff you can have more fun focussing on the things you enjoy and still be able to make money from them. Fun has always been fundamental to crypto. Hell bitcoin probably wouldn't have accelerated into mindshare in the way it did if not for the people who were using it as a currency to have fun with the silk road. And to the part you say is key: In my view bases biggest failing has consistently been understanding that users and customers are the moat, and a focus strictly on builders misses the point and makes an unsustainable one sided economy. I have said this repeatedly for a long time, and even foresaw your shift to shunning human users for ai bots before it happened. Right now you're completely focussed on bots being the future "biggest users of the internet" and the human users you did have supporting you have been ignored and hamstrung by fumbles so repeatedly that you've lost all trust. How important is that moat to you, really? Downstream of that destruction of trust is a destruction of liquidity on base. It doesn't exist right now. What's the plan to actually bring activity back? Is there one that isn't just pump metrics for your shareholders with agentic trading? Path of least resistance, maybe; Path of least respect, definitely. So what's your plan to actually address the part you think is key? Because from the outside looking in and from the countless conversations i've had with other people, it looks like you're just agreeing in an echo chamber and ignoring anyone who thinks you could improve. Having a head start and having been able to "learn" lessons doesn't mean a whole lot. Besides, it's possible for someone to learn from the mistakes of others, so to imply robinhood *must* go through the same motions is outright false, if @vladtenev paid any attention at all they can simply use base as a "what not to do" guidebook for attracting users, and they start off on the same footing. Apple isn't ever first to market, they just try to do things better after having learned what does and doesn't work. Who knows how robinhood will actually do, they've proven plenty of times they don't exist for their users to win (buy button innit), but it's been half a decade since that and most people either weren't actually affected by it or just don't care anymore. And if they're competing with an L2 whose main focus is bots, they don't have a whole lot of competition for the human users, who are the ones who will give them free marketing and help them grow. That's what base failed to understand about memes.

  As a technical builder/founder when starting the company in summer 2024, I was trying to save money on legal fee myself and learned that the cheapest lawyers are the most expensive ones. Over the course of our company, we’ve engaged with 15+ lawyers, some of whom are very extractive, looking to issue us invoices whenever they can to extract fee from our venture funding and product revenue for the so-called “legal protection”. Manas @BleeBlog2620 is the brilliant brain to help us cut thru BS and share a clear path to the efficient solution. @coinbase spent over $100M yearly on legal fee based on its earning call and startups get to be creative with legal. :))

  @earnos_io 359 brands just committed real money to one thesis: AI slop is breaking online advertising That count sits behind @earnos_io's ero launch, which opened with $30M in annualized committed reward missions across rideshare, retail, and streaming. Brands pay users to complete verified actions, so the ad spend only touches people who can prove they're human. Founder Phil George's framing is sharper than the usual earn-app pitch. His argument is that AI agents have flooded attention markets to the point where advertisers can't separate a genuine customer from a bot farm, and that proof-of-humanity attention becomes the inventory brands will pay a premium for. The cap table backs it. Around $18.5M raised total, 1kx leading, Coinbase Ventures and Circle Ventures in the round, and Verona putting down $12.5M specifically to push the app into major markets. Institutional conviction on a consumer thesis is rare in this market, and that combination caught my eye. What I'm tracking from here is whether the $30M in committed rewards holds past the launch window. If brands renew their missions this fall, EarnOS occupies the demand side of proof-of-humanity attention before competitors have built one.

  The Garage That Made $28K in 6 Months: How 17-Year-Old Jake Broke the High School Finance Game September 2022. The Beginning of Manipulation Jake was 17 when he stumbled upon a YouTube video about Ethereum Mining. The channel was called "Passive Income Squad" (2.3M subscribers), and some guy in a black t-shirt was explaining Mac Minis like they were printing machines. "For $499, you get a machine that earns $400-600 a month. Pays for itself in a month," he said, showing a CoinMarketCap graph. Jake didn't sleep that night. He opened Excel and started calculating: • Mac Mini M1: $499 (officially, not sketchy) • Electricity per month per machine: $15-20 • Internet: already have it • Risk: 0 (or so he thought) By morning, he had a business plan scribbled on notebook paper. October 2022. First Purchase. $1,497 Up in Smoke (or so it seemed) Jake sold his old iPhone 11 Pro for $550, borrowed $250 from his best friend Marcus, and convinced his mom to "invest in her son" for $700. Mom agreed ("Okay, honey, but I'm watching the electric bill"). Three Mac Mini M1s arrived in three separate packages. Setup was fanatical: • macOS Monterey (clean install) • Downloaded minerOS—specialized OS for mining • Created wallets on Kraken and Coinbase • Launched the first Ethereum mining script at 23:47 The Numbers: First Month (November 2022) By month's end, his hashrate was 114 MH/s (megahashes per second). Modest, but honest. Hardware earnings: • $12.40 per day (with ETH ≈ $1,150) • $372 per month (minus $45 for electricity) • Net income: $327/month His classmate Brandon worked at Walmart that same month and made $840 total. Jake made that in just 2.5 months, while sleeping. For Jake, this was victory. December: The Moment of Truth. Crash and Burn (or not) Ethereum dropped to $900. Reddit and Twitter exploded: "It's over," "Crypto is dead," "Sell everything." Jake did the math: • At $900/ETH, his income dropped to $240/month • ROI on one machine: now 2.5 months instead of 1 He didn't panic. Instead, he bought two more machines. His friends thought he was insane. "You know, in war, when everyone's scared—that's the best time to buy weapons," he told his mom. Mom didn't understand the analogy but gave him another $500 anyway. January-February 2023: The Garage Expands ETH rebounded to $1,800. But it didn't matter—Jake was thinking long-term. By late February, he had: • 8 Mac Mini (total purchase price: $3,992) • Hashrate: 304 MH/s • Daily income: $33-40 (depending on network difficulty) • Monthly earnings: $990 minus $120 electricity = $870 net The garage started smelling like silicon and the future. March: When School Life Met Entrepreneurship His AP Economics teacher asked the class: "What business would you start at 17?" Half the class said: "Pizza delivery" or "Tutoring on Wyzant." Jake raised his hand: "I already did. I've got a farm of eight Mac Minis. I make $870 a month." The class laughed. The teacher raised an eyebrow but said nothing. During lunch, Kyle—a competitive programmer—approached him. "Seriously? $870 a month?" "Yeah." "That's... that's more than my dad makes at his part-time gig." By week's end, Kyle had two machines in his garage too. April-May: Exponential Growth Jake realized his limit wasn't money—it was physical garage space and electrical capacity. The mining farm required: • 12 kW of electricity (which triggered a call from the power company) • Constant ventilation (installed two industrial coolers for $300) • Heavy-duty shelving from Costco (3-tier metal racks, $180) • Extension cords, power strips, and surge protectors ($400) By late April: • 15 Mac Minis • Total investment: $7,485 • Hashrate: 570 MH/s • Daily income: $52-68 (network difficulty fluctuated) • Monthly income: $1,560 minus $185 electricity = $1,375 net He opened a separate checking account at Chase. Already had $4,100 in it. May: The Turning Point His older sister Olivia came home from college and saw the garage. "Jake, what the hell is this?" "It's my business." "You're making how much?" "About $1,400 a month." She didn't laugh. She Venmo'd him $500 the next day asking for equity. He gave her 5%. June: The Final Round. Garage Transformer Mode Two things happened in June: First: Ethereum dipped hard: From $1,800 to $1,200 per token Second: Jake didn't flinch. He bought SEVEN more machines. "It's simple logic," he told his mom. "When price is low, my dollar income stays stable, but I'm buying machines at a discount on electricity costs. This is a long game." By end of June, the garage looked like a server room. Final numbers for June: • 23 Mac Mini M1 (total cost: $11,477) • Hashrate: 874 MH/s • Daily income: $68-95 (depending on difficulty and ETH price) • Monthly income: $2,040 minus $276 electricity = $1,764 net Over 6 months, Jake made: $327 + $240 + $870 + $870 + $1,375 + $1,764 = $5,446 But this was just the beginning. By early July, he was already negotiating with an electrician to upgrade the main panel in the garage from 100 amps to 200 amps. Cost: $2,400. He paid in cash. July-September 2023: The Spoiler Three months later, his farm grew to 43 Mac Minis. Total earnings for the 6-month period: $28,147. In August: • He was invited to speak on a podcast called "Teen Millionaires" (they turned out to be ex-college kids, but the podcast had 50K listeners) • He received 47 DMs from other high school kids asking for advice In September: • Other juniors and seniors started showing up at his house asking: "How did you do this?" • He started charging $500 for "consulting sessions" • Made another $3,500 that month In October: • His farm made enough money for him to buy a new 16" MacBook Pro for $3,200 • He gifted his mom an iPhone 15 Pro Max • He put a down payment on a 2023 Tesla Model 3 (his dad co-signed) • He invested $5,000 in Kyle's crypto trading bot startup (it failed, but the lesson was worth it) In December: • He graduated high school early • He deferred his Stanford acceptance letter to run his operation full-time Meanwhile, Brandon—the kid who worked at Walmart? Still making $15/hour. The Real Timeline (Month by Month) October: 3 machines, 114 MH/s hashrate, $327 monthly net, $327 total earned November: 3 machines, 114 MH/s hashrate, $240 monthly net, $567 total earned December: 5 machines, 190 MH/s hashrate, $480 monthly net, $1,047 total earned January: 8 machines, 304 MH/s hashrate, $870 monthly net, $1,917 total earned February: 12 machines, 456 MH/s hashrate, $1,100 monthly net, $3,017 total earned March: 15 machines, 570 MH/s hashrate, $1,375 monthly net, $4,392 total earned April: 19 machines, 722 MH/s hashrate, $1,640 monthly net, $6,032 total earned May: 23 machines, 874 MH/s hashrate, $1,764 monthly net, $7,796 total earned June: 28 machines, 1,064 MH/s hashrate, $2,050 monthly net, $9,846 total earned The Lesson Nobody Talks About This isn't a story about "passive income" or "get rich quick." It's about: TimingJake bought when everyone was scared. When crypto Twitter was screaming about the apocalypse, he was filling his garage. LeverageHe used other people's money. Marcus's $250, mom's $700, sister's $500. He never went all-in with his own money. CompoundingEvery month's profit bought more machines. Each new machine generated more profit. Exponential growth. StubbornnessHe didn't sell when Elon tweeted about crypto. He didn't panic when Ethereum crashed. He held the line. MathHe actually did the calculations instead of dreaming. Excel spreadsheets. ROI calculations. Breakeven analysis. ScalingHe knew when to stop talking and start executing. No bragging at first. Just building. The Reality Check His friends played Fortnite. Jake built a power plant. His classmates scrolled TikTok. Jake had a Google Sheets spreadsheet tracking ROI by machine. His peers applied to colleges. Jake was negotiating with electricians. And by the time he turned 18, he'd made almost $30,000—more than his high school teacher made in a year. The scariest part? The only real risk he took was believing a YouTube video. Everything else was just: • Compound math • Electricity rates • Patience • Not panic-selling One Year Later (June 2024) Jake's farm now has 127 machines spread across two locations (garage + rented industrial unit). Monthly revenue: $8,400 Monthly expenses: $1,200 Net monthly profit: $7,200 He hired Kyle, Brandon, and Marcus to help maintain the operation. Pays them $2,000/month each. He's now advising other high school kids on their mining setups. Made an additional $15K from consulting fees. Stanford called asking when he'd be coming. He said: "Maybe. Let me see if I can 10x this first." His mom bought a new car. His dad stopped asking about college. And somewhere in the world, a 17-year-old just watched Jake's YouTube video and is calculating hashrates on Excel right now. The cycle continues. Plot Twist This story is MOSTLY fictional, but the economics? Those are 100% real. The principles Jake used—buying when scared, compounding returns, understanding opportunity cost—these are timeless. The only thing that changes is the asset. Last year it was crypto mining. This year it might be AI startups. Next year it could be something nobody has even heard of yet. The real lesson isn't about Mac Minis or Ethereum. It's about seeing an opportunity, doing the math, and having the guts to act when everyone else is frozen in fear. That's how teenagers become millionaires. Not by following the crowd. But by doing the opposite.

  I saw this recently and realized that funny enough I've been directionally correct a lot, but often for pretty odd or basic reasons. It's usually not some sophisticated prediction lol. Top 2 stories: 1. BTC. I first heard about Bitcoin ~2012, when I was a freshman at USC. My rationale was that criminal enterprises and most of the black market economy would prefer transacting in something like this versus carrying cash in suitcases or other physical currencies. I did some research and found that it was already being used in that way through silkroad. And the black market is economy is pretty large, so if you price in that demand versus the supply at the time, it seemed like it was a good bet. But back then the only way you could buy it was to send money through western union to mt. gox, which was a pretty terrible experience and I was never able to pass their KYC successfully. I even remembered photocopying my canadian passport to send over email. So, I didn't buy then, but eventually I heard about coinbase around 2014/2015. It was so much easier, so I was finally able to buy around then. I think price was ~$250/BTC back then. 2. Tesla. I really liked the initial roadster, so I bought some shares. This was also around 2011 during my freshman year. I started seeing a bunch of negative press around them later that year about how they're going to fail as a company, immanent bankruptcy, which caused me to panic sell. But I saw the model s announcement and studied elon's history and realized it's probably smarter to bet on him than against him for this kind of stuff. I even gave my recommendation to buy the stock in my accounting 101 class (Tesla was the company I did the report on). I specifically remember telling everyone in that classroom that if they had $5,000 they didn't need for a few years, they should buy some Tesla shares. I think price was ~$18 back then and was before all the share splits. Of course, I followed my own advice. I wonder how many of my classmates listened to me back then?

  @1CrypticPoet People trashing Base are just redirecting bear market frustration. The chain isn't the problem & they expect Coinbase to pump their bags in one of the driest markets. RH so far is 99% memes & 40% have been straight rugs. The truth is until macro changes nothing sticks anywhere

  @coinbase the interesting shift is not only the headline rate, but whether USDC can feel like a usable operating balance instead of idle inventory. access, transparency, and withdrawal behavior matter just as much as yield.
