So much for a "decentralized" currency system. Actually coinbase and the other players are and will be worst actors than banks if this presque monopoly isn't solved
coinbase is just an exchange, or a way to buy/sell crypto. once you own crypto, you no longer need to use coinbase. coinbase never advertised itself of being decentralized
I am well aware of that, the emphasis here is the prevalence of coinbase in an ecosystem that is supposed to be decentralized
and my point is you need something to onboard people from fiat to crypto. it doesn't happen in a vacuum
Then use localbitcoin.com, localethereum.com, etc
It's not about what's available it's about what people use, and the power that these companies hold
