🔥 Coinbase vs. Binance: The Great Exchange Fee Feud Begins! 💸

For those tragically unfamiliar with the drama, Binance allegedly levies a modest 3% fee for airdrops and another 3% later-mere pocket change compared to the cost of a decent Bordeaux. Yet Pollak scoffs at such “medieval tollbooths,” contrasting this with Coinbase’s magnanimous invitation: “Come, dear builders, and create something *meaningful* on Base!” No fees, no velvet ropes, just a trust-fall into the abyss of decentralized utopia. 🙌

A noble endeavor, one might say, though one wonders if the “tokenized money market fund” is merely a fancy name for a piggy bank with more zeros. Still, the vision is as bold as it is bewildering, a masterstroke of patience in a world obsessed with instant gratification. 💸
