"Better" can be interpreted in more than one way. They're better at exerting control without violently changing regimes. They're better at establishing their own infrastructure and ingratiating themselves to the locals (or local governments). Now, I don't know that everyone loves them there (I heard many side comments from locals about China) but it's not like they're scrambling for the Americans, British, or French to come back and overtly oppress them again.

I believe if there is a heaven and I end up there, I'll be surrounded by computers I can play with on end without anyone bothering me. If there's a hell and I end up there, I'll be surrounded by people who need help with their computer.

I honestly don't know. Probably BYD, based on how things are going...

Maybe the Honda Prologue, which I only just found out about. But I'll keep driving my gas guzzler Honda for a while, since ei don't drive it a lot so it will last a long time.

But really my point is that they've had a lot of chances to get ahead of this and they keep sticking to gas and hydrogen and not moving forward on electric.

Newb dabbling in crypto - looking for advice on Coinbase vs another wallet (lemmy.ca)
 

Hi folks,

I just created an Coinbase account to receive (small amounts of) Bitcoin from another service. I would have looked into it more before doing so, but it was actually the only option, so I just dove in. However, from what I can tell, I don't necessarily need to keep anything in my Coinbase account, and if I ever plan on doing anything else (buying, selling, making payments) with crypto, I'm curious if Coinbase is the right place to do it.

I've only done the most basic of research. I know more about blockchain and ledgers than I do about wallets and exchanges, and that still isn't a lot.

So:

  • I need a Coinbase account to receive BTC, but I don't need to keep it there
  • I don't need to do anything with that BTC immediately - let's call it small amounts of play money, for now
  • Since BTC is down right now (in my view) I might consider buying a bit, or potentially other cryptocurrency(ies)
  • I like the diversification of holding a bit of crypto even though I don't totally trust the whole system nor its value
  • I travel and I can foresee potentially using crypto to make payments or withdraw cash as that pops up sometimes

Does it cost anything to move my BTC out of Coinbase? Are there better places to keep it that would make it worth it? Is Coinbase safe? Is it a terrible company? Would other places be safer, easier, harder? What am I not thinking of?

As opposed to "It tastes awful. And it works."

I saw an ad for it tonight and the "And" completely threw me. I could have sworn it was always "but"...
