With Wikipedia, etc., it’s not hard nowadays to get things right.

The jumbling of events — Microsoft and Comcast, “the Information SuperHighway” (LOL!), and Arpanet in one paragraph describing the “early days of the Internet” borders on the unhinged. Skip HBO and cable TV, skip TCP/IP and LANs, skip HTTP, and just jump to Mosaic. Never mind Oracle’s media server (failed) and never mind SMIL. Huh?

For folks such as myself, who were there, this borders on the offensive.

Ok. Then suddenly it’s revealed. This is just another part of the CPOC: Crypto-Promotional-Opportunism-Complex: “The success of Coinbase is analogous to Mosaic/Netscape in the way it helped making new technology more accessible to the mainstream population…”.

Coinbase as technology? So, Instinet, Nasdaq, NYSE, LSE, BGC, CME, BATS, etc. are what, since Coinbase just does what they do and most with the same “technology”.

Pure, unadulterated nonsense. And everything after wouldn’t even pass as a high school book report.

Come on, HackerNoon. You have to find better writers than this. Please.
