@udevnull@gladstein@econoar They hold keys for etf's strategy and coinbase customers, they only owe you "the bitcoin" side but not the fork. So they can choose which side is bitcoin and not give you the fork coin.
@udevnull@gladstein@econoar the issue is they decide.
…if there are two separate digital currencies — bitcoin (BTC) and bitcoin cash (BCC) — customers with Bitcoin stored on Coinbase will only have access to the current version of bitcoin we support (BTC).
@udevnull@gladstein@econoar the used to have that they dont own you the fork coin, but who decides which is the fork. Saying no never willl, doesn't really address this concern.
@gladstein@econoar maybe not Saylor, but cornbase now does custody over 10% of Bitcoin in exsitence.
Their action might actually matter in case of chain splits. What is your take on this?
@herogamer21btc@isabelfoxenduke@danboneh > I am not so sure that it is as obvious that the “burned coins fork” will have higher long term value than the “non-burned coin fork”
One issue with this is you could have 10 forks each burning those coins, which one would be the one with higher long term value?

I will defend Firefox before I defend Brave. And I do not even use Firefox.
I use Zen. It is not the most private browser on earth, but it is a real improvement over base Firefox and I love using it. If you want Chromium, Helium is great. Ungoogled Chromium is great. There are good options in every direction. Brave is not one of them.
Brave is not a privacy browser. Brave is a crypto scammer company.
Default install today: BAT rewards, Brave Wallet, Leo AI, Brave VPN, Brave News, Brave Talk, Brave Search promos, sponsored new tab page, built-in torrent client. There are entire community projects whose only job is to ship registry scripts that turn this stuff off. Users debloat a "privacy" browser. Read that again.
And the track record is rough.
2020: Brave got caught auto-injecting its own affiliate code into URLs you typed yourself. You typed binance . us, Brave silently rewrote it to binance . us/?ref=35089877. Same for Coinbase, Ledger, Trezor. Brendan Eich defended it first, called it a mistake only after the backlash. Open source did not save anyone here. The code sat in the repo for ten weeks before anyone noticed.
2018: Brave collected BAT "donations" for Tom Scott and other creators who had never signed up, using their names and photos. When Scott asked for the money back, Brave said refunds were impossible.
2021: Brave's built-in Tor mode leaked every . onion address you visited to your regular DNS provider for months. If you used Brave to hide your dark-web activity, your ISP saw all of it. The bug shipped to stable in November 2020 and only got fixed in February 2021 after a researcher went public.
Use what you love. Zen, Librewolf, Mullvad, Helium, Ungoogled Chromium, base Firefox if you want, even Safari. A browser whose business model is shoving shitcoin and a paid VPN at you is not a privacy product. It is an ad-tech company with better marketing.
@BitcoinScoresby@Square@milessuter I recommend never allowing the merchant to cancel an Order that has a BOLT11 or Bitcoin address attached to it. Since bitcoin is final settlement. That way there will always be a permanent record even if the front end malfunctions then you can figure out how to refund out of band
What does the future hold for Bitcoin? Our colleague @beerosagos wraps up the Italian Bitcoin conference with an incredible panel discussion.
AI, Bitcoin adoption, new ways of developing. The future looks bright 🚀
.@SwanBitcoin is now on the unfortunate end of bankrucpty law, with nearly $1 billion of former customer funds in the balance.
Per the litigation, Prime Trust is seeking to clawback ~12K $BTC that left the custodian days before the company began to wind down operations.
Now the estate behind Prime Trust's Chapter 11 wants those assets back as part of its Chapter 11 process.

Just read about a planned 9GW data center that would be built in Utah.
That’s half the size of the Bitcoin network’s total power demand.
They want to bring their own nat gas plants.
Before, with Bitcoin mining, I used to argue the environmental threat is small. Miners will never build 9GW sites. But AI?
We should be concerned. We can benefit greatly from AI but its growth shouldn’t come at the cost of our ecosystem.
