I took over the baseapp a few days ago yeah (as well as trading products in Coinbase - the Coinbase app, Advanced trading, etc). I don’t run Base chain. I think that typically CB has been a little bit in an ivory tower and a little bit distant from users, particularly crypto natives. I don’t think I will be able to fix that in a week, or maybe even a month. I can try and capture the voice of ppl onchain more and try and align ppl building things more closely w users. Obviously CB/Base has burned a lot of user goodwill w those users thru some unforced errors, including today. Obviously I could simply not do any of these things and have a nice life instead. Lots of ppl, including og base supporters/trenchers, rly hate base rn - throwing myself into the middle of a hatred pile-on is clearly not the most optimal life choice. I am aware I am setting myself up to be blamed by association. So, I wouldn’t be doing this if I thought it were impossible. I’m going to try and ship stuff that ppl like to use. Maybe ppl will hate what I do w the baseapp too, we will see how it goes.
