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

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

What’s a movie that no one else likes all that much that you stan for?

I can lift 100 lbs. over my head with very little effort

Waterworld with Kevin Costner got terrible reviews but I loved it as a kid and still think it's cool.

I've been enjoying going back and watching favorites from the 80's and 90's when I was growing up. Interview with the Vampire is a "bad" movie that I also love. Last of the Mohicans, etc.

The Martian was a rare film that put science/tech as the hero.

We need more positive stories on tech/AI/crypto, etc. Hollywood has a strange Marxist streak, as to many "elite" institutions today.

Side note: a frequent topic with friends is why there aren't more tech positive films coming out of hollywood.

Most films today are "decel" and virtue signaling: villain is an evil tech CEO, social network, highlight tech blow up stories like Super Pumped or Theranos, etc.
