@yugacohler @CoinbaseDev We joined up right before the revamp. U guys def cooked

The team really cooked with this.
Huge capability unlocks (onchain payments, custom stablecoins, wallets) all in one place, with the best UX / design feel in the industry.
Massive shout out to the @CoinbaseDev Portal team!
Brian Armstrong@brian_armstrong
Our new @CoinbaseDev portal is looking awesome! It's the best place to build in crypto. It gives access to all our powerful developer tools (wallets, payment APIs, x402, etc) in one dashboard. You can even launch a branded stablecoin, backed 100% by USDC.

I had an investor commit $5M at the start of the round
The day we were supposed to close, he asked to be “downsized” to $100K
GREG ISENBERG@gregisenberg
I was once pitching in a board room at a top 3 VC firm for a $15M Series A. 12 people in the meeting. One of the GPs fully fell asleep. Out cold for 30+ minutes. Nobody acknowledged it. Everyone just kept going. I kept presenting my Series A slides to an unconscious man in a Herman Miller chair and somehow that was considered normal. That's venture capital. You might fly across the country to perform for people who may or may not be conscious. It's a dance. And sometimes you lead and sometimes you follow and sometimes your partner is unconscious. If you're raising right now, just know: every founder has a story like this. The process is weird. The power dynamic is weird. You're not crazy for thinking it's weird. No one talks about it because they want to continue raising. But I'm happy to stick my neck out there. It is weird.

apple was founded in 1976. Macintosh was released in 1984.
the goal is never to build a startup and expecting it to take off in year 1 or 2. the goal is to survive first couple of years and continuously grow. we are doing exactly that. moonshot is a long haul. heads down.

@hazhubble I had a friend of a friend who sent me an anthropic SPV 4 times LOL each was a different round. Scammers bro. Glad I never broke

be careful out there kids

I hate being a hater, but I've seen this a number of times in SF...
It's sad.
They raise big rounds, hire, & proceed to grift+party while talking about how locked in they are.
When they shut down they somehow fail upward bc they network their way into good roles.

@nicochristie I did it for a year senselessly because the founder wanted every possible vertical. When you are too deep in the weeds it’s hard to realize till you are already cooked

Was an early contributor to the gridslop wave.
100+ hour weeks are a necessary evil and you should aim to move past them as quickly as possible.
It will kill you, and your company too.

charging users to withdraw USDC? couldn’t be @peerxyz
the only place you can offramp AND earn money whilst doing so
Elliott Russell@ElliottHRussell
Hey @brian_armstrong - $COIN just charged me a $995 Coinbase fee to transfer $62k USDC to my linked JPM Chase account. I used the normal Withdraw -> transfer to bank -> send cash flow. Support told me the only fee disclosure was hidden behind a small blue “preview” link. But honestly, even if the fee was clearly surfaced, charging 1.6% to move cash to a linked bank account is crazy. Screenshot attached.

I feel like consumer fintech should do what they can to get people on their app. Even if you aren’t profitable as long as payments are being made you are winning. As you scale eventually get enuf money to replace the vendors that cost you the most. Everything is easier said than done tho
