Coinbase is a stain in cryptocurrency's history and will be remembered as that in the future. It still has a chance to change and help, but for now its against everything bitcoin stands for.
I don't know what bitcoin stands for anymore. It is consuming insane amount of energy solving silly math problems, it is the perfect example to showcase human greed, it cannot be used for anything practical and the only reason people seem to be interested in it is to make a quick buck.
It all started with good intentions, but those seem to be gone now.
Yeah I understand your frustration and I can see how projects can change after it grows (by many factors in bitcoins case), but I dont see bad intentions in play here. Fiat will still be printed non stop across the planet while bitcoin will keep following the same minting rate, locked at the same growth pace and the same 21M max limit. Isn't this a million times better than a system that is by design made to rob us?
