This is no different from when Zuck tried launching Libre as a BTC competitor. We all know how that turned out View quoted note →

We have #shakespeare and the best help for tech normies like me📍🗺️📸 with @Soapbox team and in special @chad https://nostr-react-toolkit-fdxz.shakespeare.to/

LOL. Decentralized

They’re not building freedom tech. They’re selling digital permission slips with pastel gradients….

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.

The shitcoin industrial complex revival. A decentralized centralized everything app. Super app. Web 3. OMG! “Its different this time bro! Trust me bro, you just cant see it.” View quoted note →

I wonder if they're using Farcaster as the protocol for the Base app social media features?

Another walled garden. Interoperability will prevail

This is genius and shit at the same time 😳 View quoted note →

Buy Solana AND sponsor the US military, what’s not to LOVE?

All of this can be built now on NOSTR. A super app, bitcoin based, sats denominated. View quoted note →

Fuck Coinbase

Crypto people really like the word decentralisation

Your NOSTR following is yuge

On a long enough time horizon: all your Base are belong to us. View quoted note →

@MartyBent was it Balaji?

Fuck. We're really being watched...😅

“…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.

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.
