Thanks OP!

Q & A:
What is MINA?

A lightweight blockchain that remains around 22kb even as it scales

What are zkApps?

Privacy preserving decentralized applications

What role does the MINA token play in the Mina blockchain?

It's used for transaction fees, block rewards, and purchasing proofs in the Snarketplace.
Crypto held on Coinbase is considered an asset of the company and is not owned by the user. Less than two weeks ago the CEO said, essentially, "if we go bankrupt, you don't get your crypto back".

This is pertinent because Crypto has largely tanked, and so has Coinbase stock, which is down 82% off it's high.
Their fees are also ludicrous.
It's true that most people buying crypto now are not doing so for illegal purposes, but not that many people are making money. 40% of people who have ever bought crypto are currently in the red.

It's also true that huge percentage of the market is explicitly speculative investing at best, and scams or fraud at worst.

Lol convert $3 of this crapcoin to...$3 of BTC... minus any CB fees of course. BTC down 36% YTD

Quote from figure8 :
You do realize that there are regular people making money too though, right? I don't buy illegal things or scam others, but I've made a lot of money in crypto and I was relatively late to the game.
A lot of them who made money got scammed. Others got lucky. But they're just riding the scam's waves and screwing over the losers. There is no value at all in crypto currency. Not a single penny. Unless you think that illegal purchases and ransomware provide value.

Meanwhile, the wasted electricity is huge. The carbon impact is huge.

Yeah I don't think you get what is happening so I'll explain.

There is a regulation for every crypto exchange to put that notice out there. It is the same for all. And for the record you should ask yourself why there is insurance offered from your traditional broker dealer if it's "your stock" and you should look into who becomes a creditor in any bankruptcy. Regardless they have 6 billion in cash as of last quarter and had a positive EBITDA on top of that so bankruptcy is not even a probable event any time soon.

They have the worst pr team if they weren't able to explain that to people. No idea on the fees…I use Coinbase one and I enjoy the experience.

A solution looking for a problem? No. A scam looking for a sucker.

Yeah, I don't think you know what you're taking about, so I'll explain....

Crypto is not the same as a traditional security, and is not offered the same protections. If you own stock in a brokerage account, the stock is still yours, and you have legal rights to it. The insurance (which, again, crypto doesn't have) is in the event that they can't fulfill that obligation. In the event of a bankruptcy of a crypto exchange you are considered an unsecured creditor, meaning there is no collateral for you to collect. You get whatever is left over after the secured creditors are paid. Pretending this is just some little formality they have to get passed is disingenuous.

Coinbase would liquidate any assets on its platform to repay its secured creditors. After that, if there was any money left, unsecured creditors (like you) would be next in line.

Coinbase may or may not be in trouble. That depends on a lot of things. I don't really care, because I think they are free-riders in the market, and provide almost no value-add.

I forgot I had a Coinbase account until the other day. In 2014 they gave me 10 dollars in bitcoin just for signing up, was a nice surprise when I logged in. Already moved it out and into my NiceHash wallet

These freebees are not worth the tax hassles, especially having to keep track of the $3 randomcoin you converted to BTC (a taxable event) and then sold the BTC later (another taxable event with a mix of coin origins (conversions, cash, etc.). No more of that for me. I know there are sites that help with that, but any time spent on it at all is not worth $3.

Commenters on the Coinbase bankruptcy statement probably did not watch the CNBC interview with their CFO following the raising of the issue in the statement involved. She said that text was there because no case law had been established with bankruptcy issues and cryptocurrency holders, and they think things would probably be okay. The interview didn't make me feel better.

I have been doing these quizzes for several years now. Once I finish, I convert the alt coin received to Ethereum. Thank you, OP!

This type of paid promotion is disgusting to see on SD. Downright shameless to see how low coinbase and their shitcoining partners will go to scalp dollars from retail in this market while peddling snake oil. Seeing SD tolerate this because they get a fat kickback is sickening.

If you want to invest in this space buy bitcoin on strike for zero fees, transfer it to a wallet, and look back at it in 5+ years. Anyone whose ever followed those steps has made money. Stay away from coinbase and anything non-btc.
