Alright, friends. Laptops finally shut off, packed, sealed, off for delivery. My last day at Coinbase has come to an end.

I worked in the key management and cryptography teams, and thus have deep experience behind the scenes.

So time to tell the real truth about Coinbase. 🧵

The real truth is: Coinbase is the most trusted exchange, and they really do have a strong commitment to their customers and take extreme caution and care with customer funds. End thread.

I'm dubious of all centralized exchanges but have come to appreciate Coinbase and respect Armstrong. I think they are net positives for the space, institutionally and personally, and hope future cex leaders model their approach.

'Cause cex is a hot mess right now.

Jokes aside, bother anyone else that despite this apparently being acceptable in UK english, this apparently is an incorrect, archaic use of the word "trusted" in US English? https://i.imgur.com/hHFgBP9.png
