So much for fixing the TBTF problem. More and more centralization is not the answer. In fact, decentralization is the answer, and letting poor money managers, investors, woke companies, cities, states, countries etc. go broke. The capital will get reallocated into the hands of more capable people and companies, as it should be.

Take all your money and all your Bitcoin off all exchanges, and especially companies like PayPal, to especially PayPal itself.

Inflation and hyperinflation are monetary problems. The would needs hard money for the digital age. The world needs the Bitcoin standard.

Coinbase is an unregulated casino, full of s-coins, I would stay away, as far away as you could. And never leave any coins on there. Hopefully the only coins you stack or bitcoins. All the rest are scams, with pre-mines, venture backing, marketing budgets, centralization, and get rich quick teams and investors selling their pre-mine coins to you, the bag holder. Coinbase on the other exchanges profit massively by providing a platform for the scam.

For anyone who hasn't figured it out by now, every coin with some guy or team or venture capitalist or a combination thereof behind it is a scam for self-enrichment, and eventual rug pool or a failure, after they've sold their pre-minded coins, Bitcoin is the only truly decentralized, secure, digital gold. Are just scams that won't eventually go the way of Luna and the others

All you have to know is that any coin that has to be backed by anything is a shit coin. Think about that. Understand that. There's only one coin that is not backed by anything, that has no founder, that has no ulterior motive, that is not centralized, that is not designed as a get rich quick scheme for the founders. And the venture capitalist, in the backers. You know which one that is. So if you make that realization, however painful, that might be, you are neo, you have taken a red pill. And no, that real world, your first glimpse of it, it's not going to be pretty, but then, after you process, you will see it is beautiful, it is full of hope and love, you have found home.
