DSAD: Coinbase Jumps the Shark and Thursday's Expiring Domain List
no such thing and memedomains to pump and dump
Shane Cultra
April 17, 2025
I think we’ve finally peaked in memecoins and crypto. Yesterday, Coinbase launched a memecoin—and it did what every memecoin does: it peaked, then tanked. In all this crypto chaos, there has to be some foundational players showing the rest of the world the actual benefits of crypto and blockchain. Right now, it feels like the only company doing that is Gemini. I never thought I’d say this, but the Winklevoss twins seem to be the most solid custodians out there.
Coinbase got greedy. They started listing complete pump-and-dumps, then took it a step further and launched one themselves. Why? Because Trump gave them the freedom to do so. But just because you can in finance doesn’t mean you should. Coinbase fought so hard for legitimacy and regulation, and now that they have it, they’re proving exactly why governments were skeptical in the first place—by doing things like launching worthless tokens.
I love blockchain. I love crypto. It fits perfectly with domains and online transactions. It streamlines the process and makes it easier for people all over the world to transact. But this past year has been a complete shitshow and has set the industry back. Now, most people just see it as a gambling product. Sure, it can be used for that—but it should be more than that.
Coinbase and Robinhood have proven the market is massive. And yet, people still get greedy, push the envelope, and chase more. That’s where we are today. Hopefully it ends soon, and we can finally start moving forward with the tech
