“A history of Coinbase is half the history of the crypto world!”
1.	P2P transactions vs. exchange transactions:
Buying Bitcoin through a third party is a betrayal of Bitcoin; Coinbase chose to make it easier for ordinary people to purchase Bitcoin.
	2.	Security vs. hackers:
	3.	Legal vs. money laundering:
Bitcoin is just a peer-to-peer financial tool; its good or evil depends on its users.
	4.	Currency vs. asset vs. commodity:
Before it was defined, it had infinite possibilities.
	5.	Digital gold vs. daily payments:
The debate between small blocks and large blocks of Bitcoin; ultimately, small blocks were chosen to become digital gold, and Coinbase’s dream of daily payments was shattered.
	6.	Single coin (BTC) vs. multiple coins (BTC, ETH…):
The market needed more coins, which Coinbase did not have.

7.	Convenient BTC buying vs. Finance 2.0:
Coinbase’s original intention shifted from providing convenient BTC buying to leading 1 billion people into the emerging crypto industry to achieve economic freedom.
	8.	Coinbase vs. Binance:
The once king is mocked as the “gatekeeper” of Binance, being the entry point to Binance (Coinbase converts fiat currency to cryptocurrency, Binance converts cryptocurrency to cryptocurrency).
