Rigs next to plants, not lanterns in front of cars 🙅‍♂️

While we recognize that change is hard, at CoinList, we advance innovation.

Given the recent market activity, we are temporarily pausing USDC:USD conversions over the weekend while banks are closed. We have also reversed any pending USDC conversions at this time.

Conversions rely on USD transfers from the banks that clear during normal banking hours. These transfers are not available over the weekend. When banks reopen open Monday, we plan to re-enable conversions. In the interim, you may withdraw your USDC at your discretion and your funds remain safe.

USDC:USD conversions have been reinstated and are now operating as normal via the CoinList UI.

🚨 There are serious dangers, as well as consequences, to buying CoinList accounts from third parties:

1/ Violation of terms: Buying an account is a direct violation of our Terms of Service and will result in the immediate termination of your account.

2/ Irreversible loss of funds: Because the seller who created the account is the KYC’d owner, they may at any time come back to CoinList & regain access to their account. The seller can then withdraw funds, which would result in an irreversible loss for the buyer of the account.

3/ Ransom: A malicious seller could even attempt to hold an account for ransom by attempting to regain access to a “sold” CoinList account. CoinList will not be able to assist you in recovering assets in such a situation.

4/ Community damage: Account sellers prey on the very same people that CoinList is intended to empower, leaving them to suffer the consequences of engaging in fraudulent activities.

TLDR: Not worth the risk, don’t do it 🙅‍♂️

Five takeaways from Consensus 2023, the biggest crypto conference in the U.S. 🧵

1/ With an oversaturation of L1s, crypto is missing a new narrative
All previous bull cycles had a narrative that drove excitement & price action, ranging from ETH Killers (2016-17), DeFi (’20), NFTs + Gaming (’21). There’s no prevailing narrative today, and crypto as a result feels adrift.

2/ New Layer 2s are coming, and they won’t stop coming
Given the ever decreasing costs of launching an L2 through template-like deployments or shared network securities models combined with the persistent premium for L2 valuation, expect a hyper-saturation of L2s in the coming months.

3/ Regulatory environment: slow progress in the U.S., opportunistic in Asia
Everyone is seeking clarity on the U.S. regulatory approach to crypto, while Hong Kong is fighting to recapture the flow of funds and innovation that had previously moved to Singapore.

4/ More dry powder at the seed stage
Seed-stage VCs are resuming deployment after a period of observing from the sidelines. Numerous funds have reported active Q1s and are poised to maintain their momentum, anticipating a robust half-year of funding through 1H 2023.

5/ Crypto gaming is experiencing a reset
Teams are still building new games, new gaming infrastructure is being developed, and investors are still deploying capital, now more responsibly and selectively. While crypto gaming hasn’t been figured it out yet, don’t sleep on it.

🛠️ We are thrilled with the massive amount of interest in the upcoming sales and listings.

Unfortunately some of our onboarding partners are unable to scale to meet this demand in a timely fashion and we’re seeing a small percentage of users stuck in the KYC stage of onboarding.

This is unacceptable and we’re tackling this head on with our partners to implement a solution.

If you’ve registered for the recent sale, we will prioritize your review. Creating a new entity will not push you through the process faster.

Thanks for sticking with us 🙏

👀 How the queue system works on CoinList 👀

1/ Users registered for a sale will receive an email with a link to enter the queue prior to the start of the sale.

2/ To access the link, log in to your CoinList account associated with the email address that received the link.

3/ This link (also available on your dashboard) will direct you to a url unique to your account and gives you one spot in the queue.

4/ All users arriving at the queue before the start of the sale will be placed in a waiting room. Please note that arriving at the waiting room early does not give you a better place in the queue.

5/ When the sale starts, users in the waiting room are assigned a random place in line, ahead of those who arrive after the sale starts.

6/ Users arriving after the sale starts get a first-come, first-served place in line after those in the waiting room.

7/ When it is your turn, you will have 10 minutes to enter.

8/ Your purchase will be finalized when your deposit clears. You do not need to pre-fund. If your deposit doesn’t clear immediately, that’s fine.

9/ As a reminder, we prohibit the use of bots. If you use bots to purchase tokens, your account will be terminated (and potentially lose funds) and your purchases will be canceled.

10/ Beware of phishing attacks and CoinList impersonators during this time of heightened interest.
