  @brian_armstrong If you’re still using Coinbase, you’re complete idiots.Armstrong blocked the bill that was supposed to protect you — and thanks to him it’s still not law. You’re running away from the banks that screw and manipulate you, only to jump straight from the frying pan into the fire.Coinbase does exactly the same ****. They manipulated you and operate on the exact same principles you’re supposedly trying to escape.Well done, geniuses.

  @coinbase All someone at CB has to do is decide they don't like you, and you have a huge problem on your hands.

  Bitcoin was built as decentralized money. The data increasingly says otherwise Top 10 centralized exchanges custody over 2.85 million BTC, roughly 15% of circulating supply, per CryptoQuant. Binance alone holds close to 30% of everything sitting on exchanges. Add spot ETFs, which now hold about 7% of total supply led by BlackRock's IBIT, and public companies holding another roughly 6% in corporate treasuries (Strategy alone at 847K BTC). Stack it together and something like a quarter of all BTC that will ever exist sits with a handful of exchanges, funds, and corporations, not in millions of individual self-custody wallets Now overlay the August fork situation. Two forks are landing, BIP-110 and Sztorc's eCash. In 2017, when Bitcoin Cash forked, ownership was almost entirely retail and self-custodial. Individuals decided which chain to follow. Messy, but genuinely distributed This time it's different. Coinbase alone custodies 80-84% of all US spot ETF assets. And BlackRock's IBIT prospectus states, in writing, the fund will permanently and irrevocably abandon any rights to forked or airdropped coins unless the SEC changes the rules. Ark, Grayscale, Morgan Stanley carry the same language. That means the largest pools of institutional BTC on earth will, by pre-signed legal commitment, simply not follow any forked chain, no matter what happens on-chain or in the market To be precise: this isn't the ETFs voting on which chain is "real" Bitcoin. Consensus still technically runs through miners and nodes. But when the entities holding a quarter of supply pre-commit to ignoring any fork, no alternative chain can realistically gather the capital or liquidity to matter, regardless of the technical outcome. The decision isn't made through mining and open market chaos anymore, it's pre-decided in a handful of legal departments before the fork even happens That's the actual story. Not government seizure, not a hack, just a slow shift where the property that made Bitcoin matter, no single party gets to decide what counts as "real", is being quietly replaced by a few prospectus clauses and custody chokepoints. Healthy for stability. Genuinely uncomfortable for what the network was supposed to be

  @New23485 @coinbase Agreed. This case could set a broader precedent for public-record access 👀

  @cryptobullying It didn’t. It went to 1.3b then in the bear down to 150m bottom. Then after Coinbase and Robinhood 11b It took years for that to happen. Not one run up. Clearly you weren’t here 💛

  @coinbase Why are you publicizing what projects like Bankr already did as if it's something new? Go support builders in your network!

  @MStreetTrader @coinbase Well, markets are back operational as of 10 mins ago when I checked. After having lambasted coinbase for the above, I at least applaud the speed in which they fixed the problem. But I don't like that they were not upfront to post a message saying an unexpected problem occurred.

  Nine institutions just put their names on one Bitcoin security document. BlackRock, Coinbase, Strategy, Galaxy, Fidelity, Anchorage, ARK, Block, Blockstream. 15m over three years, post-quantum cryptography first, roughly 6.9m BTC flagged as exposed if quantum hardware ever lands. The dollar figure is small. The roster is the signal.

  BlackRock and Strategy invest $15 million in Bitcoin protection BlackRock, Strategy, and seven other major Bitcoin players are jointly investing $15 million in the security of the network. The first priority is striking: preparing for a future in which quantum computers could potentially attack existing cryptography. To this end, the companies have established the Bitcoin Security Consortium. The initiative aims to support developers and researchers without determining the technical direction of Bitcoin itself. Nine major parties are contributing. The founders are Anchorage Digital, ARK Invest, BlackRock, Block, Blockstream, Coinbase, Fidelity Digital Assets, Galaxy, and Strategy. In an official announcement, they pledge a total of $15 million over three years. The money does not go into a single joint pot. Each participant decides for themselves which developers, researchers, or organizations are funded. Mike Schmidt, director of developer organization Brink, coordinates the daily operations on a voluntary basis. That model was chosen deliberately. Bitcoin has no central company that can enforce a security update. Research, code, and protocol changes come from a global open-source community. The consortium wants to pay and inform those people, but says it does not want to gain control over the development. Quantum computers are not yet a direct attack Large quantum computers capable of breaking Bitcoin's security do not exist today. Nevertheless, a sufficiently powerful machine could theoretically attack specific digital signatures and thus derive private keys from public information. That risk applies especially to coins whose public key has already become visible or that are held in older, more vulnerable address structures. It does not mean that a quantum computer can suddenly steal all Bitcoin or simply take over mining.

  @coinbase @saylor Does a centralized funding consortium fix this?

  @jymkilama @wealthyanon Noble left and Coinbase stopped using their version of USDC. Nillion left and still hasn’t found the liquidity. Jackal moved to base and still shut down. I’ve been here since 2017 to understand that bear markets do bear market things.

  Your next customer might not be human. Coinbase Business just flipped the switch: AI agents can now pay for things on their own. No card. No login. No human clicking "buy." Powered by x402, Coinbase's open USDC standard, agents discover docs, spin up wallets, and settle payments across Base, autonomously. The machines are shopping now. Is your business ready to get paid by one?

  Coinbase choosing a direct listing was not just a finance decision. It fit the brand. The company was built around the idea that financial access should be more open and more transparent. So when Coinbase went public in April 2021, it went direct onto the Nasdaq. In the transcript, the reason is simple: Brian felt it was the more fair way to do it. That is a small detail, but it is consistent with the story. Coinbase’s best moves usually rhyme: make crypto easier to access make the rules clearer make the market more legitimate keep the upside out of closed rooms

  @BTCisfemale That's not true. Genesis block newspaper headline is in the coinbase (100 bytes allowed). BIP-110 has zero effect on this. Stop spreading lies
