@MoheethR wishing you a speedy recovery

3 months ago I got diagnosed w/ Stage IV Lymphoma. Cancer had spread in multiple organs. 34 yo otherwise in good health. Huge shock to my family and I. A moment of great fear and uncertainty. I work as a GPM at Coinbase. I cannot sufficiently express the kindness, grace and support the company has extended me during this time. Each exec took the time out to send me a gift, a hand written note, and to let me know that I had their support in whatever I needed to focus on treatment and healing. Returned to work yesterday after 2 months of grueling chemo. Good news: it's been effective in reducing the cancer. I still have ~3 months of treatment left which feels daunting but I have tremendous support from family, friends and colleagues. I am extremely grateful for my circumstances. Companies that look after their employees like this will always succeed in the long run b/c the people who work there will go above and beyond. Have never been more bullish on Coinbase and I'm blessed to work for leaders like @brian_armstrong @emiliemc Alesia, @maxbranzburg @scottshapiro . Am also super thankful to my direct team who held things down while I was out. Thank you so much to everyone.

surely there has to be a better way crypto not cards

for your listening pleasure, the amazing @somimusic enjoy and thank me later

@nemild Congrats Nemil

Hello, world. Excited to introduce Reva. With how good today's building tools are and the cool stuff you can create, I anticipate she'll be an expert vibe coder in just a few years 😉

As the saying goes… “First they ignore you. Then they laugh at you. Then they fight you. Then they add you to the S&P 500.” …or something like that.

@dwr congrats Dan!

Life update: baby #3 arrived. Mom, baby and older brothers all doing well.

@gmoneyNFT the system needs to be updated

tried sending wires this morning via my bank. immediately cancelled and locked my account. i've now been on the phone with them for over an hour. and they're walking me through the process of how to wire money as if i was in third grade.

If you bought $100 of Bitcoin when Coinbase was founded in June 2012, it would now be worth about $1,500,000. If you kept the $100 USD you'd only be able to purchase about $73 worth of goods today. Bitcoin is the best performing asset of the last 12 years, and it's still early days. Every government, especially those looking to create a hedge against inflation, should create a Bitcoin strategic reserve. Happy Bitcoin $100k day.

Proud of this outcome. The courts ruled in our favor that @USTreasury cannot sanction open source code. @coinbase will keep holding government accountable to protect your freedoms.

Update: I'm now leading the Developer team at Coinbase (@CoinbaseDev). It's been a wild ride: from growing USDC to $1 BN+, adding 10+ blockchains, launching staking & bridging ... Next mission, bring 1 MM developers onchain through onramps, wallets, commerce, staking. Day 1.

@michpokrass congrats

Excited to share the news about our recent fundraise!

Excited for the unlocks GPT-4o provides to @BeMyEyes definitely going to be a game changer!!

@TimBeiko Congrats Tim!

Dencun is both the most complex fork we've shipped since the Merge, and tied for "most total EIPs in a fork" with Byzantium. There were more teams than ever involved in the process, and it somehow all worked out smoothly...! Grateful to work with all of them, onto the next one🫡!

@emiliemc @coinbase @brian_armstrong Congrats Emilie!

What an epic week it is to celebrate my six year anniversary at @coinbase. It’s been a wild ride and I wouldn’t trade this experience for anything. Each day I learn something new, and I get to work with one of the greatest founders of all time. 🙏 cc: @brian_armstrong

my grandfather stephen pollak died two saturdays ago. he was a great man and his legacy inspires me every day. may we all keep fighting to build a better world together. justice.gov/opa/blog/remem…

@jessepollak reminds me of one of my favorite blogposts from @cdixon - cdixon.org/2010/01/03/the…

base is an onchain economy — one that will increase global creativity, innovation, & freedom throughout history, religion has been a major component of every economy. no reason that won't be the same onchain. the most meaningful things often start out looking like jokes.

this art by @screentimes & @a_marrast feels like the purest form of @tybasegod yet at first glance, the movement around Base God seems like a silly joke, but every day it feels more like a profound contribution to the world zora.co/collect/base:0…
