It was somewhat difficult to engage with your comment because it felt kind of like it was strawmanning.
But I think the reality is you just misunderstood the original comment. The original comment was saying that it was good that people were withdrawing their crypto, not that it was good that any particular exchange had become insolvent. Only after I read your edited original comment did I realise that this is what happened.
When a crypto exchange fails I always say "That was unsurprising. Remember to hold your own coins." A lot of other people say similar things.
I do not say "This is a good thing. I'm sure that now that Failed_Exchange_1001 has failed people will finally learn to hold their own coins." I don't think I've heard many people suggest that.
- infotogivenm 4y agoJesus, this is exactly what happened. I swear I clicked the headline, but somehow ended up on a tab about “Coinlist halting withdrawals”, not “Coinbase having withdrawals”. No wonder I felt like I was in the twilight zone. Well. looks at the dozens of comments in this thread. My bad.
