Can you change your coinbase definition.

Currently Written:
Coinbase– world’s most popular and reliable cryptocurrency web wallet.

Proposed:
Coinbase: A special field used as the sole input for coinbase transactions. The coinbase allows claiming the block reward and provides up to 100 bytes for arbitrary data
source: https://bitcoin.org/en/glossary/coinbase

I see no purpose in glorifying an exchange when word "coinbase" has a very special meaning.

I found this thread of GameKyuubi
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/i-am-hodling-375643

GameKyuubi is the one who originated the word HODL in December 18 2013 based on his topic he is telling a story about how he is a bad trader I think he is drunk that day while he post that topic because instead of typing I AM HOLDING in his title he wrote I AM HODLING and suddenly his post become a meme and now everyone uses HODL as a term or slang for a long term investment or Hold on dear life.

HODL!!

And since this date - December 18 2013 - the word has bee additionally purposed to be the acronym: Hold On for Dear Life. It's a tribute to the roller coaster ride we all endure as hodlers of Bitcoin.



I think you should remove "LTC" and "zerocoin", these aren't terms to be defined, they're cryptocurrencies. And if you're going to include one cryptocurrency, you should include them all! Make a second list that can be a directory of cryptos that provides a link to their whitepaper and briefly explains the coins/tokens purpose or intended utility for the market.

All good dude. For more merits, tell me more about Silk Road and MTGox, give me a proper rundown on both including what MYGox stands for and who Ross is
Challenge accepted

Silk Road. The first modern dark net market, achieved notoriety. Subsequently shut down by the FBI who then auctioned confiscated bitcoins while MTGox was a bitcoin exchange based in Shibuya, Tokyo, Japan, as the largest bitcoin intermediary and the world's leading bitcoin exchange.In February 2014, Mt. Gox suspended trading, closed its website and exchange service, and filed for bankruptcy protection from creditors. In April 2014, the company began liquidation proceedings. MTGox stands for "Magic: The Gathering Online eXchange" and Ross (Ross Ulbricht) is the creator of Silk Road. Ross is an American former drug trafficker and darknet market operator, known under the pseudonym "Dread Pirate Roberts".

Need more bud. Who ran MTGox, why is he hated?
Ross wasn't a drug dealer, he was a visionary. I want you to actually read about these things and learn, not hastily post a reply
