@HiQStar @QTRResearch Conflating points. Exploit that auto-signed hot wallet contracts != exploit for cold storage. Hardware wasn't exploited. Agree there's many risk vectors for newbies, which is why self-custody isn't for everyone yet. Doesn't make Bitcoin's existence moot.
@NotChaseColeman Extremely good call! Was overly bearish on their ability to pivot iOS, but they managed it. Plus CAPI and Zapier made things workable. Industry banded together quickly
@ToliverOVA @antoniogm@nikitabier Tell me you’ve never run UA without telling me you never ran UA. Who is buying this product behavioral data and abusing it? Carriers sell location history, but this is device-to-carrier. Credit bureaus build profiles. These are not the same; anger is misplaced.
@joe_zappa Not to mention the major ad networks can make contextual work with 1P data so power will concentrate there. Google for example can stitch together web and app behavior, searches, payments, location, YouTube, etc. which is very different from longer tail ad platforms.
@joe_zappa Impact depends on vertical and product. Not everyone will be impacted the same with contextual — it’s not just about serving the ad in context but passing signal back (fewer wasted impressions) and having a broad-appeal product that more users can convert on.
@Travis_Kling When I did a SimilarWeb analysis on Coinbase’s traffic it had a lot of bot/affiliate traffic — like 30%+ of overall visits. That will pump homepage visits and uniques. I’d have to check Binance but if they aren’t buying low quality ads/traffic that explains the gap.
@arieljalali@growing_daniel This. Grabbing the wrong 7-11 500yen clear umbrella that looks like all the others is common — and alcohol plays a factor. Not like people are stealing umbrellas left and right. These lockers are usually near/outside bars in big cities.
