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

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

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?

Stick with it through at least once crypto cycle to make sure the external noise isn't clouding your thinking.
