What $cbBTC Brings to @base Chain
1. Interoperability with Bitcoin: - cbBTC, or Coinbase Wrapped Bitcoin, introduces Bitcoin's liquidity and utility directly onto the Base layer-2 blockchain, which is built on Ethereum. This allows Bitcoin holders to leverage their assets within the Ethereum ecosystem, particularly in decentralized finance (DeFi) applications. This integration effectively turns Base into a platform where Bitcoin can be used seamlessly for transactions, lending, borrowing, and other DeFi functionalities, enhancing Bitcoin's role beyond mere storage of value.
2. Enhanced DeFi Opportunities:- With cbBTC, users can participate in yield farming, liquidity provision, and other DeFi activities directly with Bitcoin. This opens up new avenues for Bitcoin holders to earn yield or engage in more complex financial strategies without needing to convert their Bitcoin into another cryptocurrency.
3. Increased Liquidity and User Base: - By integrating Bitcoin, Base can attract a significant portion of Bitcoin's user base into its ecosystem. This not only increases liquidity but also potentially brings in users who might not have otherwise interacted with Ethereum or its layer-2 solutions, thereby expanding the user base of Base.
4. Security and Trust: - Given Coinbase's reputation, cbBTC benefits from the trust associated with Coinbase's custody solutions. This could reduce concerns over the security of wrapped tokens, which often face scrutiny regarding the backing of the underlying asset.
5. Cost Efficiency: - Transactions on Base, especially involving cbBTC, could be significantly cheaper than on the Ethereum mainnet due to Base's layer-2 architecture, making Bitcoin transactions more cost-effective for microtransactions or frequent DeFi interactions.

@basilthegreat Ironically, the phrase he quoted from his holy book spoke of showing mercy to peoples of the planet and the one in the heavens will show mercy on you.
Absolutely crazy they don’t even understand there holy book.
The appetite for grievance, once fed, never knows satiety
Sir Lenny Henry — once a fine comedian, now an evangelist for reparations — has apparently calculated that Britain owes £18 trillion to black Britons for the sins of slavery. Eighteen trillion. Enough to bankrupt civilisation itself. It works out to roughly five million pounds per person — a figure so absurd it deserves its own sketch on The Two Ronnies, not a serious discussion in Westminster.
Let us begin with a simple historical correction: Britain does not owe a debt for slavery. Britain paid it — in blood, treasure, and moral courage. The British taxpayer only finished paying off, in 2015, the vast sums borrowed to abolish the slave trade and to compensate the plantations — not the enslavers, as revisionists often claim, but to end a system that our own Navy spent decades dismantling across the world.
More than 20,000 Royal Navy sailors and soldiers died enforcing abolition. They died capturing slave ships, freeing captives, and patrolling hostile waters to ensure that humanity’s oldest crime was driven into extinction. The cost was staggering — not just in lives, but in wealth and stability. No other empire on earth undertook such a campaign at its own expense.
Yet, according to Lenny Henry and his ilk, this act of unparalleled moral reform counts for nothing. In their world, history begins and ends with the Atlantic triangle — and only one colour, one side, bears the mark of guilt.
Nobody speaks of the African kingdoms that grew rich by selling their own neighbours. Nobody mentions that slavery existed on this planet long before the British flag ever touched the Atlantic — in Egypt, in Rome, across the Arab world. The pyramids were not built by volunteers, and the Barbary Coast was not known for its internships.
Britain’s legacy is not one of perpetual guilt but of redemption through action. The British Empire — for all its contradictions — became the first major civilisation to outlaw slavery outright and enforce that principle across its dominions. That is not a stain; it is a monument to moral progress.
As for Sir Lenny, he might better serve his country by returning to comedy — a field in which he once brought joy rather than division. When entertainers attempt economics or history, they often end up performing both — unintentionally.
To demand £18 trillion in reparations is not justice. It is moral blackmail disguised as virtue. And to accept such madness would be to erase the truth that Britain, of all nations, ended slavery — not perpetuated it.
We owe nothing. We have already paid — in coin, conscience, and courage.

Britain now stands at a moral crossroads — when our own institutions bend knee to fear rather than fairness. The banning of Maccabi Tel Aviv fans from attending a match on “safety grounds” is not safety; it is surrender. It is a grotesque symbol of how political cowardice has replaced courage, and appeasement has replaced principle. When a democratic nation cannot guarantee the safety of Jewish supporters in its own football stadiums, it ceases to be a nation of laws and becomes a playground for intimidation. This is not equality. This is capitulation — and it disgraces everything Britain once stood for.

This decision must be over turned at once I state all true Brits we must stop this now.
When Fear Rules, Freedom Falls
By British Patriot
MUSLIMS NOW CONTROL OUR SECOND CITY OVER OUR POLICE: Israeli football club Maccabi Tel Aviv’s fans, have been banned from attending the EUFA Cup match on 6 November at Aston Villa FC in Birmingham, ON SAFETY GROUNDS!
That’s absolutely bloody ridiculous — and worse than that, it’s shameful.
So let me get this straight: supporters of Maccabi Tel Aviv, an Israeli football club, are being banned from attending a match at Aston Villa — in Britain — not because they’ve done anything wrong, but because the police say they can’t guarantee their safety.
If that is true, then let’s not mince words: Britain has lost control of its own streets.
We are no longer talking about football; we are talking about the slow surrender of civilisation under the polite pretext of “safety.” What this really means is that violent, intolerant mobs now dictate where Jews can and cannot go in our country.
Once upon a time, this would have been unthinkable. Today, it’s policy.
Let us call it by its name — racism, institutionalised through cowardice. If Jewish football fans cannot safely attend a match in Birmingham — our second city — because the authorities are afraid of Muslim backlash, then we are no longer living under equality before the law. We are living under intimidation before the mob.
Christopher Hitchens would have put it more succinctly: “Appeasement, when stripped of its polite language, is simply the surrender of principle to menace.” menace is exactly what this is.
To ban Jews from attending a football match on British soil, out of fear of violence from those who despise them, is not “safety.” It is state-enabled discrimination. It tells every Jewish citizen — every decent Briton, in fact — that their freedoms are conditional upon the approval of the loudest, most aggressive faction. It tells us that Birmingham no longer belongs to Britain — it belongs to whoever the police fear most.
Yet, this is being done in the name of peace, tolerance, and “community cohesion.” Orwell himself couldn’t have written a darker parody.
If this country can no longer guarantee the safety of Jews at a football match, then the question must be asked — who, exactly, runs Britain now?
Rupert Lowe, you are a man of both football and Parliament — I implore you, raise this in the House. Because if our laws cannot defend the Jewish community in our own cities, then they no longer defend anyone.
This is not merely about football. It is about freedom — and we are watching it slip through our fingers, one cowardly decision at a time.
The police may think they are avoiding violence by this act of surrender. They are wrong. They are feeding it.
The rest of us — British, Jewish, secular, or simply sane — must finally say no more.

A true patriot does not burn crosses or chant slogans — he stands guard over the synagogue as he would his own church. The Britain I recognise defends all who build, create, and worship in peace: the Jew, the Christian, the Hindu, the Sikh, the Buddhist.
To defend them is not mere tolerance; it is civilisation itself. Those who sneer at such solidarity mistake moral cowardice for virtue.
Ah, marvellous—three walking advertisements for the dangers of unlimited Greggs, heroically liberating a St George’s Cross from the oppressive clutches of a lamp post. What a moment for Britain. I mean, really, what could be more patriotic than waddling down the street and tearing down your own nation’s flag? Bravo, ladies. If irony burned calories, you'd be absolutely shredded by now.
It’s touching, isn’t it? To see such vigorous disdain for British identity—performed by people who, I suspect, would struggle to spell "identity" without a sat-nav and three lifelines. No doubt they thought they were doing their bit for progress. Yes, because nothing says forward-thinking like vandalising a national symbol between sausage rolls.
One can only hope they attack exercise with the same enthusiasm they attack patriotism—though, judging by the scene, I won’t hold my breath.
Absolute tools!

1) retards who can’t work but can protest
2) illegal criminals who snuck into the country but given a free lifestyle
