The best Christmas gift I can give myself this year is actually once and for all getting my crypto out of your company. And no I am not cancelling my NYT to have Autism Capital be my news source.

I'm struggling to understand wtf they're even talking about. Their guy won. Crypto won. What are they so upset about?

I don’t know and honestly don’t care. I do not want to know ANYTHING about the politics about the CEOs of financial institutions. It’s like similar principles to me as the idea behind Fed Independence. 

This is the second time now where I have been like holy crap your tweets are a risk to my funds. No other financial institution CEO talks like this afaik. Like go scroll around on Vlad Tenev’s feed. You don’t see this.

Wait can you say how his tweets are a risk to your funds at Coinbase?

ok yeah you meant it in a figurative way... your concern makes sense! 

i always get uncomfortable when folks ask public figures to limit what they can express. seems anti-human. cuz it's not necessarily the case that these accounts merely represent the corporate roles they currently hold and not the full human whose real name us on it. but it's also a complex issue that's more general and broader than the barmstrong case that we as a culture haven't grappled with properly yet. 

also, i'm not sure why we'd want and expect them to adopt the same public disposition as banks? they're different in so many ways and represent something so counter, not the least of which is an anti-establishment industry. banks are and have always been the favorite child of the financial system. they write the rules, no reason for their CEOs to speak like Brian. asking someone to be like someone else and not break the mold also rubs me the wrong way.

above all it demonstrates lack of sound judgement to me and that is not the posture I want from someone who holds on to my money. 

What other dumbass stuff is on the table if he is so impulsive and desperate to tweet he will go out of his way to alienate people? Not about to find out with my $$

At the most extreme if the political winds ever shift now I know my money is being custodied by someone who will have strained relations with the gov. For roughly the past decade bank CEOs have been studiously neutral in public comms (despite yes lobbying for certain outcomes) and I expect same from CB. 

It’s stupid and unnecessary. Focus on your JOB. Every stupid tweet about the woke media or even “the blueberries are huge now, why is no one talking about this” (people are talking about this actually) is a distraction and makes me lose confidence in the company.
