You can tell Coinbase has been listening to how people position Nostr and slapping the marketing on Base, which is a DINO version of Nostr. Imitation is the highest form of flattery. Rome wasn’t built in a day and neither will truly robust freedom tech. Keep building.

Aah, had the misfortune of meeting folks who built Base in the OG team. A bunch of based people who believed they were doing the right thing, thereby getting and, having gotten, steadily un-based... Sad. Le sigh.

“…something comparable to WeChat in China” is a nod to how WeChat / CBDCs in China have completely enslaved and destroyed millions of people. There is a burgeoning generation of homeless there who failed to meet credit scores, so now can’t bank, can’t rent, can’t work. There are countless vids of young people living on the streets because WeChat/CBDC/Credit Scores completely, completely fucked their lives over. Coinbase is positioning itself for this in the US. Because Coinbase is now a US Gov’t affiliate entity. Anyone too retarded to self-custody will have to answer to their homeless children for their failure as a human being.

"decrentalised" um what. How the fuck is one corporation being in total control considered decrentalised? It sounds like they're just trying to make a centralised shitcoin version of Nostr.

They just implemented Farcaster and branded it BASE. I don't see much of Nostr in it.

Can't stop laughing. If this was China - American tech would call it pirating. But for Coinbase - its innovation . Quaint.
