Base, Zora, & Farcaster are all getting the pushback that they deserve.
Coinbase’s engineered trust and colonization of Ethereum is predatory at best, and ignorant to thr psychological harms of trading at worst.
Gambling destroys lives ~50% of gamblers have:
- suicidal ideation.
- increase of intimate partner harm.
- decrease in education.
Base’s soullless, zero-innovation pivot is driven by a spreadsheet brain that says “penny in must equal penny out.”
No matter what story we wrap them in… Gambling aka Prediction Markets, are unethical and the pivot to trading is dangerous, evil, and destructive.
Unless you work for coinbase and need to virtue-signal for alignment, I don’t see any good reason to defend the engineered colonization that’s proliferated from Coinbase’s moves.
