Brian Armstrong is a highly impressive guy who has onboarderd so many people (more than anyone else?) to #Bitcoin. He seems to have a lot of integrity too. Yet maxis seem to not like him at all. Why is that? Is he deemed to be selling out to Wall Street/the government? I guess part of it is the shitcoin casino aspect of Coinbase too? #asknostr

I think part of it is the shit coin casino and some of his older tweets from about 10 years ago. He would switch his stance on Bitcoin vs alt coins a lot.
Oh yeah, good point
I think you have it right. Also, after FTX, Binance, Mt. Gox and several other smaller exchange scams, there’s an inherent distrust in them. Personally, I’m in the middle. I am a Coinbase customer, only know what I read, and I’m only interested in Bitcoin, which I purchase at Coinbase then move elsewhere.
You're just like me 🤝
Coinbase is also an official partner of the WEF. I don't know how much of that decision is on Armstrong specifically, but it makes me even more dubious of him and Coinbase as a whole.
This isn't to discount all of your points though. People are messy and complicated and usually a mixed bag of noble actions and detestable actions, of sound character qualities and major character faults.
You make good points ✍️👊
