well yes I agree with that but putting aside the priority, the stupidest thing about it is that not only is coinbase a customer but *coinbase literally held 150K ETH for years*. through ups and downs and goods and bads. through people saying L2s were the future to saying L2s are bad and evil and should die. because it believes in crypto and ethereum and is proud to build together with other crypto protocols and companies.
i can tell you with 100% certainty that when a business (and the leaders inside it) invest that much in a protocol (way more than any other company), hold it through the down market, but are relentlessly attacked for not holding.. enough.. it doesn't feel good. and feeling matter!
if i could give one piece of advice to ethereum and the community of people who love ethereum it would be to stop moralizing ethereum's customers and attacking those that are outside of what your perceived morals are. we see this with coinbase but we also see this with the negative response to memes, to trading, to defi, to financialization. it's good to have a protective immune system for the *protocol* but attacking the customers who use the protocol and ecosystem is IMO incredibly counterproductive and will only lead to people feeling alienated.
"despite being extremely and unabashedly publicly bearish the cryptocurrencies over the past few months, i am now writing this tweet to let you know that i have actually secretly been long this whole time"
With 100 days until the Midterm Elections, millions of crypto owners are watching their lawmakers closely for their support of the industry.
It will be top of mind for these voters at the ballot box in November.
• Nearly 8-in-10 crypto owners say they're "almost certain" to vote
• Nearly 70% say a candidate's crypto stance will factor into their vote
• 73% are paying close attention to which crypto policies lawmakers support
• 59% don't consistently vote for one party.
Crypto voters are watching; lawmakers should know.
Nous sommes LGB et nous en avons assez de nous taire.
Quand nous rappelons que, dans les pays à majorité musulmane, la population soutient la peine de mort pour les homosexuels, ce n'est pas de "l'islamophobie". C'est un constat.
Quand les militants LGBTQIA+ cherchent à faire taire les homosexuels qui rappellent cette réalité plutôt que de dénoncer ceux qui nous emprisonnent ou nous massacrent, ce n'est pas de l'antiracisme, c'est de la lâcheté.
On nous explique que notre homosexualité devrait être un drapeau politique et qu'il est essentiel de rester dans le rang et de suivre la ligne énoncée.
On nous demande de célébrer toutes les cultures, y compris celles qui nous condamnent, tout en dénigrant les sociétés libérales qui ont rendu possible notre liberté.
Nous ne sommes pas d'extrême droite parce que nous refusons d'importer des mentalités qui considèrent l'homosexualité comme un crime.
Nous ne sommes pas intolérants parce que nous refusons de tolérer l'intolérance.
Nous refusons de nous excuser de défendre les libertés qui nous permettent d'exister.
Nous existons, et nous voulons simplement vivre libres, sans recevoir de leçons de ceux qui ferment les yeux sur les idéologies qui nous persécutent.
