    Coinbase Works to Calm Users Fears of Crypto Bankruptcy
    https://gizmodo.com/coinbase-bankruptcy-crypto-exchange-volatile-market-1848911005

    >If you’re used to riding the cyrpo rollercoaster, then you know the admission to ride comes with the promise of both ups and downs.
    >
    >But this news maybe caught you off guard. Some investors in Coinbase are rightfully spooked by language discovered in a 10-Q form the company filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Page 83 of the 135 page filing says: “Moreover, because custodially held crypto assets may be considered to be the property of a bankruptcy estate, in the event of a bankruptcy, the crypto assets we hold in custody on behalf of our customers could be subject to bankruptcy proceedings and such customers could be treated as our general unsecured creditors.”
    >
    >An unsecured creditor is one who lends money without obtaining collateral of similar value—a common example of an unsecured creditor is a credit card company. In the case of Coinbase, the users would be the unsecured creditors. Fortune is reporting that if Coinbase goes bankrupt, then users with funds tied up with the company will no longer have access to them, which fundamentally undermines the entire point of cryptocurrency.

    I use about 10 columns of which 8 are directly from private lists (no need to follow but I do follow a few) and then Home and Notifications. In my list columns I only see what that people in the list posts/retweets and nothing more. It is not for everybody but it is easier to keep up with things in the list as you can still clear the column in the "old" tweetdeck, last I check you could not in the "new" tweetdeck.

    They do have insurance for this kind of thing correct?

    A Typo Sent $36 Million of Crypto Into the Ether CNET
    https://www.cnet.com/personal-finance/crypto/a-typo-sent-36-million-of-crypto-into-the-ether/

    >One of the key selling points of the blockchain is that it's immutable: Once data is processed, once a transaction occurs, it can't be undone. One of the most painful downsides to the blockchain? It's immutable. If human error causes something to be sold for the wrong price or money to be sent to the wrong place, reversing it can be difficult or even impossible.
    >
    >That is the unfortunate place developers of the Juno cryptocurrency find themselves. A community vote had decreed that around 3 million Juno tokens, worth around $36 million, be seized from an investor deemed to have acquired the tokens via malicious means. (This in itself was a big crypto news story.) The funds were to be sent to a wallet controlled by Juno token holders, who could vote on how it would be spent.
    >
    >But a developer inadvertently copy and pasted the wrong wallet address, as reported by CoinDesk, leading to $36 million in crypto being sent to an inaccessible address.

      Developers of the Juno cryptocurrency meant to send $36 million in tokens to a community-controlled wallet. Human error sent it to an inaccessible address.
