Users have started calling for a boycott of the platform, urging others to close their accounts in protest. The hashtag “#deletecoinbase” is quickly gaining momentum on Twitter, spreading across the platform like a frog leaping through a pond.
In response to the uproar, some users are also creating and sharing Pepe-themed cryptocurrency memes and content, further fueling the debate. Coinbase may need to address the situation and issue an apology soon to avoid alienating a significant portion of its user base.
This situation serves as a reminder not to meddle with memes, or risk becoming the target of a meme onslaught.
