Welcome to @barmstrong, co-founder and CEO of Coinbase! 

He’s kindly agreed to do an AMA. Reply with your questions. :)

@barmstrong Why did you choose to completely ignore the collection '1337 Brians' that was launched during onchain summer on Base? A collection dedicated to you, made by over 30 people, fully onchain & cc0, with endless traits and awesome art. I don't know how many people we brought over to your L2, but it was a lot!

We’ve been building nonstop in this ecosystem during this bear market, launching multiple collections, all for free with 0% royalties, done for the culture by people who met online and are deeply passionate about cc0 and onchain assets.

Now we got an awesome collection of Brians stuck on your chain forever, and they look dumber by the day, because few people seem to care about Base. I wanted to like you, but I think I’m gonna have to write you off as a failed experiment.

hi! fwiw, we featured these internally and a bunch of folks minted and loved them. my guess is that as base continues to grow, this will be an permanent part of the lore.

i'll make sure brian checks these out - there's *so much* going on (as evidenced by this thread with hundreds of questions), easy to ose things.

Not a single like or mention from you or team at Base / onchain summer. @jessepollak minted, which is cool I guess, but a little support from you guys would have meant a lot to us. Meanwhile you pump a bunch of Arweave stuff, during onchain summer - what’s up with that?

Hey @siggi thx for building this and apologies I somehow missed it in all the chaos of OnchainSummer. Awesome work! I tried minting some on mobile and ran into an issue - any thoughts?

I agree, I didn't ask anyone to do that ser

Having multiple people post the same thing is spammy. Please don’t encourage this.
