Some news: I've started my next tour of duty as CTO @coinbase.
In 2009 I got hooked on Bitcoin empowering builders with programmable money. In 2014 I joined Coinbase as an engineer because there was no better place to build it.
Back then we ran on Heroku and supported one asset from one codebase. It was early, but we were a small team of cracked engineers who relentlessly shipped.
Twelve years later a LOT has changed, but the most important things haven't: still a cracked team, still relentlessly shipping towards a massive mission.
Now that we're in an era of exponential productivity, the only limiting factor is ambition. Which is why I'm so bullish on the culture @brian_armstrong, @emiliemc and team have built for this next chapter.
My job is clear: make Coinbase the best place in the world to build.
I celebrated by this weekend by building 👨🏻💻🤖

ICYMI @emiliemc on earnings:
"The Everything Exchange is working with $200M+ in annualized Retail derivatives revenue, $100M+ in annualized prediction markets revenue in March after just launching in February, and all of this incremental to the existing base."

.@Coinbase is the future. @RobinhoodApp is the past.

Security and risk management are in Coinbase's DNA. In light of recent market shocks and unsubstantiated rumors, it's important to clarify several points:
1. Coinbase had no financing exposure to 3AC, Voyager, or Celsius
Alex Reeve retweeted
Hearing rumors that Coinbase has
- no exposure to Celsius, 3AC, Voyager, etc
- no losses from our financing book,
- no exposure to client or counterparty insolvencies,
- no gating for client loan recalls or withdrawals, and
- no changes in access to credit for our trading clients

gm, we are stoked to share that we’ve raised a new $130M round w/ @ElectricCapital @GreylockVC @lightspeedvp + our previous investors @paradigm & @sequoia
gm, dropped a Series B and we’re now a $1.6B company after 9 months.
We don’t take any of this growth for granted. YOU, the creators and communities, have made our wildest dreams possible.

the 2 most exciting products released by coinbase probably ever came out this week (coinbase pay, coinbase on-chain access)
this style of progressive product development aimed at bringing users on chain gives me a lot of hope for the future of coinbase

Two of the most important exponentials of the coming decade:
- % time spent in digital worlds
- % wealth stored in digital assets
Call it crypto, web3, metaverse, etc… but the macro trend is clear

Users of @CoinbaseWallet may now enter the Tokemak. We recommend all new $Toke-pilots to blast Tokemak Radio upon entry, look for the Skull icon…
Short morning walks (in the sun) are one of the best morning habits I've adopted, thx to @hubermanlab
By viewing sunlight today and tomorrow (indeed, every day) for 10min (blinking fine, don’t stare at the sun), within a few hours of waking (even through cloud cover), your Monday and next week week will go much better. Says 50+ years of data. #circadian #biology @SamerHattar

The metaverse is having an account (identity, history, digital assets, etc) that can be brought with you wherever you go
Not a bunch of zuckerberg 3d avatars that hang out in virtual rooms together
Alex Reeve retweeted
I don’t know how big Web 3 or the Metaverse will be in 5 years.
But I know it’s going to be a key part of our lives at some point in the future and that’s all I need to know.

Good news: we will be able to do this via crypto addresses like ENS and HNS. That’s the third major login mechanism after emails and phone numbers.
Great talking with you @BrantlyMillegan @wycdd as always!
