That's not how decentralized blockchains work, you participate in staking or as a validator, there are no "companies", it's open source and decisions ar3 made from the ground up, meaning your are a participant. Also to s

MetaMask is a wallet, its not ingrained into any blockchain, your free to use alternatives, and many protocols don't support it. The centralized aspect of a chrome app and marketplace like opensea is very well know issue and talked abo

By definition something with a finite supply cannot be a pyramid scheme, in fact in most cases there are no parallels whatsoever to crypto and pyramid schemes. There are some pyramid schemes within the shitcoin scam and yield farmer communi

It's not gate-kept by two centralized entities at all, there are a lot of alternatives many completely decentralized. This author is clearly new to the space and hasn't really done much research, outside 5 minutes of google.

Your wrong. BTC is the 100$ in your wallet because it's literally in your digital wallet, your solely responsible for it. On the other hand a digital custody provider (which now has legal banking status in several countries) is much mo

Yes actually it is, because the analogy is your storing your fiat in your house or in your pocket, which can of course be robbed, have you even insured cash stored in your house or pocket, I highly doubt it. Just like fiat you can store you

This is so wrong it's astonishing, web 3 is build build using principles and designs that are decades in the making, literally 30-40 years of cryptography, zero knowledge proofs, game theory, and advanced mathematics. It's incredi

First off no one is guessing your key, do the math, it's ridiculously impossible. Secondly if someone finds your key that's your problem, its the same as any real life key, it's not magic. 3rdly no leap in computing, even qua

Don't assume they don't. Most platforms not only enable multiple forms of security, you even get rewards if you choose better security. I use an exchange the uses double security, meaning you have 20 seconds to verify via email an

Are you not aware of cold storage? Do you think people store millions on their laptops? Smart people use traditional means to store their crypto, literally paper in banks, custodians with insurance, actual vaults, etc, etc.

You're never going to get away from regulation on centralized exchanges. Have a look at injective , its a decentralized derivatives exchange, afterall crypto is meant to be decentralized.

This isn't new, nor is it only related to China. Mexico, Russia, many middle east countries, and whole slew of other places has poured billions of cash into Canadian real estate. It's done via regulated banks who turn a blind eye

Rats tend to be complete sociopath's and in many cases psychopaths, the police need to be held more accountable for onboarding these personalities instead of covering their own asses. There are several cases in Canada in which paid inf
