Good morning nerds. Happy Friday! My usual long-winded roundabout #crypto banter route leads to speculation about Verizon and #thetaNetwork validators. (Factual accuracy is dubious as always.) $THETA $TFUEL Sources: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qIbqgAiIujg https://www.managingrights.com/2021/03/verizon-and-theta-labs-blockchain-and-rights-management-patents.html https://www.verizon.com/about/news/verizon-stream-tv https://twitter.com/realAdrianCain/status/1376215807491891206 https://twitter.com/BroGroh/status/1380238854502907917 https://forum.cardano.org/t/hello-from-the-occam-team-the-razer-s-edge-of-defi-arrives-on-cardano/55504

Good morning! I spend this morning talking mostly about Coinbase. I start with an overview of Coinbase and the difference between Coinbase exchange, Coinbase PRO and Coinbase Wallet. Then I get into an article I found that was retweeted by Jack Dorsey that talks about how the VC-backed coins that get listed on Coinbase have actually performed terribly against Bitcoin and Ethereum. Many people think a project has "made it" when it gets listed on Coinbase, but the author seems to prove that this is not the case. Anyway, alot of people say web 3.0 is for giving "the little man" a chance, but it actually is seeming to cause problems for the liquidity of Bitcoin, as the amount of little men that web 3.0 is actually freeing is pretty insignificant. Interesting thesis. Sorry it took a really long time to get to the point in this video Sources: https://startupsandecon.substack.com/p/you-dont-own-web3-a-coinbase-curse https://www.coinbase.com/ https://blog.coinbase.com/goodbye-toshi-hello-coinbase-wallet-the-easiest-and-most-secure-crypto-wallet-and-browser-4ba6e52e4913 https://pro.coinbase.com/ https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-difference-between-Coinbase-and-Coinbase-wallet https://www.investopedia.com/crypto-com-vs-coinbase-5188428
