Hey Brian, been a while since my days at CB so not sure if you remember me. I’m curious to hear what your feelings are towards privacy preserving coins that still work with KYC/Compliance? Any chance of ever listing those?

When Coinbase filed its S-1, I was simultaneously amused and mind-blown that the company put "Address Not Applicable" in there, as a remote company. Now two years in, I'm curious: - What do you like most about operating a remote company? - What do you like the least? Thx for doing this! 🙌🏼

switching things up with a longevity and healthspan question :). what were the defining moments or experiences that compelled you to co-found NewLimit? and what about NewLimit's early beginnings* remind you, if at all, of early Coinbase? *knowing you're a board member and not actively involved in the day-to-day

Hey Brian! How optimistic/pessimistic are you on the US getting regulations right on us being able to unlock all of the use cases on crypto? If you were a starting a company today, how would navigate your business/product through this?

Do you remember when you used to give whole bitcoins out to get people to sign up for Coinbase? I was one of those people. Thanks!

The cyclic nature of crypto makes it *incredibly* challenging as a founder given just how much volatility there is in usage/growth. @barmstrong how do you know when to maintain conviction on your original thesis/idea vs. making the choice to pivot due to a lack of signal/growth?

@barmstrong Do you think cryptocurrencies and blockchain technologies have a role to play in creating peace? Will these technologies have an influence in mediating, diffusing, and/or exacerbating tensions that seem to be rising?
