Gemini & Uphold vs Brave

1

Anyone else notice that Gemini is obviously running similar to ALL of those TRX “cloud mining” scam websites (which later get dubbed and labeled Ponzi schemes), by forcing a big crypto or bank ACH / wire funds deposit just to “fully activate” a Gemini account? Also last I checked Gemini is directly connected to that failed company 3AC / 3 Arrows Capital. Hell Gemini even got hacked just a few days ago too, don’t believe me freaking check the haveIbeenpwned website for more info that Gemini was offically hacked on Friday 2 day ago

For that stuff alone Gemini is a massive black flag soaked in kerosene, that’s also on fire as far as I am concerned.

Has anyone also noticed that Uphold has been witholding BAT coins for a couple months now in combination of NEVER allowing private key access to any form of crypto in an Uphold account?:speak_no_evil::speak_no_evil::speak_no_evil::speak_no_evil::speak_no_evil:

Uphold also now requires some completely BS W9 cappital gains tax forms on record for ALL accounts of USA peoples… :persevere::persevere::persevere::persevere:

So I feel even Uphold is going towards a black flag status at this time.

I very, very, very strongly feel due to the seemingly never ending fallout of the completely failed 3AC and all of it’s interconnected tendrils, that brave wallet immediately and outright deserves to make a comeback for use with Brave browser for the forseeable future!!!

The Gemini product security team sent out a notice that a third-party vendor was hacked, not Gemini themselves.

I also received an email from haveIbeenpwned and Brave is my only connection to Gemini.

Have you considered that it’s actually Brave that was hacked, leaking these Gemini credentials?

I do feel that if Brave knew it was hacked that they would inform / warn us such a nasty thing happened to them a d what we needed to do to protect overselves from said hackers.

I do honestly feel that Gemini locking ALL funds coming from Brave browser rewards, until a minimum of a $100 deposit from some external crypto address or a bank account was completed just to enable funds withdrawals, is part of why Gemini got hacked.

The other part is due to Gemini being a centralized crypto exchange.

I chose uphold over gemini for brave rewards initially because only uphold was supported on mobile. I never looked closely at gemini until much later. I have not had a single issue with uphold in the years I’ve been using them. I like that they don’t rely on trading pairs, don’t have their own platform token, don’t offer futures or any other “investment instruments”. The only complaint I have is that they don’t support on-chain withdrawals for every asset they offer, though they have expanded that list over time.
