coinbase got hacked. the breach was real, and the data exposed was serious. but what it reminded me is this:

coinbase isn’t just a crypto exchange — it’s one of the biggest security companies in the world. we expect banks to protect us, but coinbase holds the keys to millions of people’s funds.

security isn’t part of the product — it is the product. and still, they’re the default bridge for most people entering crypto.

not because they’re perfect, but because they’re convenient, and familiar, and still trusted — even after this.
