@CoinbaseDuck@base it’s funny because literally every base advocate has been telling them exactly what to do the entire time but they just push weird made up narratives then realize they fucked up and say it’s day one lol
I have successfully predicted many things in the past, and don’t let below become a reality.
Over the last 12 months or so, base tried to uplift all builders on @base and via many of its experiments, it has exhausted much of its users base. I used to keep 7 figures on base, I am down to 4 figures. This is how much TVL was lost.
We are seeing the first stage of deterioration where builders, TVL and users are going back to @ethereum mainnet where TVLs are sticky and Defi users are not thriving but also not deteriorating at this rate.
What keeps me up at night is thinking about 1-2 years down the road where @RobinhoodApp rolls out a L2 with the main focus of RWA like tokenized equity, treasury, FX, and derivatives, these are what real MM likes and easier asset to gain TVL and liquidity onchain.
As i have mentioned multiple times in the past, liquidity and user distribution is the name of the game. If this happens that would be armageddon not just for @base but for @coinbase as a whole.
(Now seeing Liquidity left for mainnet, existing users got exhausted)
Knowing this is a potential outcome and seeing base’s current trajectory, I think @jessepollak needs a real strategic advisor next to him, or at least be open to feedback to how to retain as much capital and users base so you don’t just hand this victory to Robinhood.
How easily these guys have left you and @base, @RobinhoodApp will do it 10x faster than this.
I wish I never had to make such tweet but @baseposting your affiliates is making @base a joke ground.
@michael_kove Rookie mistake tbh. Turns out alignment researchers aren’t immune to misalignment. Got overconfident because this workflow had been working on my toy inbox for weeks. Real inboxes hit different.
Nothing humbles you like telling your OpenClaw “confirm before acting” and watching it speedrun deleting your inbox. I couldn’t stop it from my phone. I had to RUN to my Mac mini like I was defusing a bomb.
.@base is in trouble and @coinbase knows it.
When @zora, one of your most publicly hyped projects, pivots to Solana without looking back, that's not just a narrative problem.
Projects build where momentum lives, and right now Base feels like a ghost town with good infrastructure.
The issues aren't technical. The chain works. The problem is cultural and strategic, and it starts at the top.
Coinbase keeps hiring tradfi analysts and institutional voices to speak for an ecosystem that was built on degens, creators, and people trying to flip a $500 bag into something life changing.
Nobody in CT wants to hear a former Goldman guy talk about Base's total value locked. They want to feel like there's a reason to show up every day with the potential for daily runners to give them a chance of being rich.
Solana figured this out. They leaned all the way into the chaos, the memes, the 100x plays, the community lore. Love it or hate it, people are engaged. They have skin in the game. That's what drives ecosystems forward, not press releases about institutional adoption.
If Base's real vision is to be a B2B settlement layer or a quiet infrastructure play for enterprise clients, fine. But then stop marketing a consumer app to a retail audience that has zero reason to care without incentive or culture behind it.
Here's what a turnaround actually looks like.
Drop the $BASE token. Make the people who built on the chain and used it early genuinely wealthy and watch them become your loudest evangelists overnight (see hyperliquid).
Hire CT natives who live and breathe this space to run your community and content. Give the ecosystem a reason to believe there's a 0 to hero trade waiting for them on Base specifically.
The foundation is there. The distribution is there. Coinbase has more potential reach than almost any team in crypto. But potential without culture is just infrastructure.
Fix the incentives, fix the voices, and lean into what actually makes crypto worth participating in.
this has to be one of the dumbest things i've ever seen in crypto and that's saying a lot
setting a human on fire to promote a blockchain that nobody gives a fuck about
send this whole ass chain to 0 y'all are fucking clowns
