Very well answered imo

His body language says yes. I suspect we’ll find out the truth eventually.

Of course it is true. Then they dump it on their own platform after the pump.

i don’t even know what coin base is

Well the people trying to spot the lie via body language are a little bit off - for people that go that route, they'd have to pay attention to his head movements, the corners of his mouth and the timing of his hand gesture... And ofc what he's actually saying while specific movements are taking plac...

It’s what most of us have expected for years. Them and their buddies load up bags of whatever it is early. Then it’s listed and they dump on retail.

looking up and to the left...trying to get creative I think (if he's right handed)

Instincts say yes. Coinbase does many shit things

We don't take any listing fees for listing shitcoins our venture arm is invested in https://media.tenor.com/atZTjul0_oUAAAAM/team-coco-clown.gif

How do you not prepare for this exact question lmao

"invest" aka literal stake their interest in a pow and leverage products they don't own but collect real monies for it. it's true in many big bank financial institutions... not sure what the context here is though.

bigtime. crypto vc land is wild. hoping the few Bitcoin VCs & angels can differentiate and set a better precedent by supporting only Bitcoin & foss focused projects

Well, why did we expect them to do otherwise? I'm sure everyone here would do the same in Coinbase's place. 🥲 I feel like we still have a lot of faith in these brands run by strangers.

Its worse than that: exchanges not only "invest" before listing but also want a much better price discount than you'd offer any other early stage supporter. Projects that find this unethical pay a heavy price for not playing ball.

I assumed from the jump they always have 🤷🏼‍♂️

Thanks for sharing

What's in it for me seems to be the overall philosophy, unfortunately. 👁️‍🗨️💓

If you have to ask..

Why does Brian Armstrong look so much like Zuckerberg? He has the same lizardness somehow

Yes, they called the unit that made the investments Coinbase Ventures. https://www.coinbase.com/ventures

Coin base had a ton of insider trading going on

Reminds me of Enron’s case of using their Special Purpose Vehicle investment arm to inflate the share market every time they released a new product, to delude the crowd and public stock buyers. This happened over a long period of time, and once exposed, both the CEOs during this period were convic...

Thank you for never peddling sh*tcoins to us #[1]​ I’m going to keep DCAing into BTC everyday on CashApp like I have for years now. 🙏

This is going to get spicy when the SEC does discovery.

Hard to believe that a publicly traded company that's situated themselves as a centralized bank for decentralized currency would do something like this.
