If this ever happens we'd see a hard fork attempt to try and recover the funds which will most likely result in another bitcoin cash situation where they lose value immediately against the real BTC.

When Coinbase ever gets hacked, this industry is going into an economic depression of its own: - All the BTC held in the ETFs gone - All of $MSTR BTC gone - BTC held by Public companies gone - BTC held by US Mining companies gone 🍿 image

Hear me out ... If Coinbase gets hacked Bitcoins moons. Why? Because millions of coins will be considered non spendable. Sure it might take a dip in the short term but after the market settles down hodlers who keep utxo within their self custody will be rewarded. The same thing happened with Gox and Finex. The real play will be to short coinbase.

The more centralized it gets, the better the loot. The better the loot, the more incentives are increase for a hack, rugpull or executive order.

A hack isn't even the biggest concern; a 6102 attack is so easily executed through an asset seizure on Coinbase, which would be trivial for the government to do. Not your keys, NOT your coins.

More likely a 6102-like government grab, as they’ve shown us they’re happy to do already with gold. The US Gov (or the Network behind them) don’t need to hack anything, they can just force through a confiscation and no US company is going to stop them if they want to do it
