I showed the new coinbase wallet (beta) to someone who is not deeply entrenched in crypto. Their reaction: So, it replaces 1) Facebook [IG, tiktok, X], 2) Apple Wallet, 3) Venmo, AND 4) the App Store? 😱 And it takes care of all the wallet complexity? 😱 And anyone will be able to access it and use it? 😱 And users still have self custody over their funds? 😱 Needless to say, they were impressed and could see how this becomes a massively adopted platform

Did they actually say this? > And users still have self custody over their funds? 😱 I've never heard anyone outside of crypto even ask about this.

Do they still have the weird flashing banner ads for the latest crypto grifts strewn all over the place? That's why I had to remove the Coinbase wallet app last time around. Too noisy of a UX IMO.

Pretty much, yes I still haven’t figured out how to transfer my smart wallet out of the beta, tho. No seed phrase, no passkey. I need to finish switching phones and this is the last step

You know, early on, coinbase wallet lost my interest due to a bug where the seed phrase wasn't actually backing up and I lost money twice w two different accounts. But presuming they solved that (although I'd write the phrase down anyway next time) I'm definitely sold on coinbase wallet yet again. Looking forward to trying it out once it's out of beta

That sounds absolutely amazing. I do have a concern though. Often times we praise self custody, and don't get me wrong, it is great, but the person we're trying to "win over" with self custody is not (usually) the one to practice safety standards when it comes to self custody. And does not realize there is no "manager" to call in the event of an emergency.

Biggest win in crypto space related to mass consumer adoption I was screaming into the void about farcaster integration directly to coinbase wallet over the past year

When do people who were too busy building a DeFi protocol to fly to nyc get access to the new base app beta? Cc @jessepollak

I love the wallet more than using Coinbase exchange itself, and with new stuffs attached to the wallet now, I am loving it.
