Wouldn't surprise me if it was an organized (paid) troll campaign trying to stir up anti Coinbase sentiment. Small block fanatics have had it out for Coinbase ever since they published a blog post advocating for raising the block size. Ever since any hit of a problem they go out of their way to blow the issue out of proportion.
- ryanlol 9y agoPerhaps the excessively angry reactions are just a natural response to the very poor customer support that these companies offer? Often it feels like overreacting is the only way to extract a response from SV companies. Reminds me of the upwork story a few days back.
- ShabbosGoy 9y agoI think we can all agree there’s a huge difference between overreacting and plotting to arm yourself and storm Coinbase’s headquarters to “talk” to the CEO.
- ryanlol 9y agoI think this only holds true if you assume the “plotters” were serious about their intentions. Otherwise they were just silly people venting on internet forums. That certainly seems like a fairly standard form of overreaction. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not defending this behaviour. I’m just more interested in if there’s something that SV firms are doing that’s exacerbating it.
- paulgb 9y agoThe problem with the broadcasting intentions on the internet is that even if you're not serious about your intentions, you could influence other people. Look at the guy who went into Comet Pizza with a gun, for example.
- criddell 9y agoIf anything, I think it makes me feel sympathy to Coinbase and the people that work there.
