Cobie just dropped his take on fixing Coinbase's trust crisis: radical transparency.

After the recent shitstorm, he's pushing for full disclosure as the only way forward. No more corporate PR spin—just raw data and honest comms.

The community's trust in CEXs is already hanging by a thread. One more fumble and we're looking at serious capital flight to DEXs.

Coinbase either goes full transparent or watches liquidity drain. Simple as that.

What's your move? Still holding on CEXs or already bridged out?

Reminder: Base leadership repeatedly dumped on their own community.

Jesse Pollak (Head of Base):
• Used official Coinbase account to pump "base is for everyone" token on Zora → $17M mcap in 1 hour → 90% crash to $1.9M in 20 mins. Called it an "experiment."
• Launched $JESSE "creator coin" → snipers extracted $1.3M seconds after launch → peaked $25M → dumped. $50M volume, retail got wrecked while he collected LP fees.
• Used those LP fees to buy other creator coins that also dumped.
• Endorsed Soulja Boy token despite ZachXBT documenting 73+ rug promotions, 16 abandoned NFT collections, $730K+ scam earnings. Jesse either didn't check or didn't care.
• Posted "base is for pimping/squirting" GIF to hundreds of thousands. Had to apologize. This is the guy running a publicly traded company's L2.
• Now says Base won't "pump tokens" or "support charts." Translation: his coins get LP fees, yours get abandoned.

Brian Armstrong (Coinbase CEO):
• Changed pfp to $BRIAN memecoin → 10,000 people aped in trusting the CEO → removed pfp 23 hours later → coin went to zero → 10,000+ people down 99%.

This is who you're trusting when you ape Base memecoins. They farm their own community for exit liquidity while collecting fees. Not alpha. Not innovation. Just extraction.

DYOR doesn't mean trust the chain's leadership. It means don't trust anyone.

If you don't take profits, someone else will for you. 😤

This is the game. You're up 3x, 5x, maybe even 10x — but you hold because "it's going higher." Then the rug comes, the whale dumps, or the narrative flips overnight.

Your unrealized gains? Gone. Transferred to someone who actually locked in.

The market doesn't care about your conviction. It cares about liquidity. And when you're holding bags, you ARE the liquidity.

Take. Profits. On. The. Way. Up.

CryptoQuant just dropped a critical take on MicroStrategy's $BTC strategy shift.

They're flagging major structural gaps in the corporate setup that could impact the long game.

No fluff here—this isn't just about stacking sats anymore. The institutional framework has cracks that need attention.

If you're tracking $MSTR or corporate $BTC plays, this matters. Watch how they adapt or if the cracks widen.

Time flies man. Made solid gains on $ICE back in the day, now it's basically dead.

Still hearing about bag holders waiting for a comeback. That's rough.

If you're still holding, might be time to face reality. Most zombie tokens don't resurrect.

اعتذار لكل من اتبع مكالمتي $BRIAN على Base.

غيّر براين آرمسترونغ صورة حسابه (pfp) إلى عملة ميم. لقد بنيت أطروحة كاملة حول $BRIAN ليصبح العملة الثقافية التي تُدخل مستخدمي Base إلى المنظومة. بعد ساعات، أزالها. العملة انهارت إلى الصفر. أكثر من 10,000 شخص تراجعوا بنسبة -90%.

كنت مخطئًا في الثقة بقيادة Base مرة أخرى. كانت الأطروحة قوية، لكن لا تعني شيئًا عندما لا تهتم قيادة السلسلة بما يحدث لتجارها.

هذه المرة الأخيرة. ليس اندفاعًا عاطفيًا، بل قاعدة الآن. لقد أضاع Base كل فرصة لأنه يتعامل مع مجتمعه وكأنه قابل للاستغناء. لقد انتهيت من إعطائهم فرصًا.

سأنتقل إلى سلاسل يهتم فيها الأشخاص في القمة فعلًا بمستخدميهم.

Base just hit different when even @jessepollak is calling out @brian_armstrong 😂

The internal banter is wild. This is what happens when you build a chain that actually ships—everyone gets comfortable roasting each other.

$BASE culture is unmatched. No corporate PR nonsense, just vibes and degeneracy at the highest level.

This proves they're fully aware of what's going down on their chain but straight up don't give a fuck about their users.

Zero accountability. Zero action. Just vibes and empty promises while people get rekt.

If a chain doesn't protect its users when they clearly see the exploit/scam happening in real-time, why tf would anyone keep building or holding there?

Reputation > short-term gains. They're bleeding trust fast.

Real talk @cobie - you took over @baseapp to get people trading onchain. But the same leadership just proved AGAIN that trusting anything $BASE-related for more than 24 hours is a rookie mistake.

How do you onboard users to an app where the culture strategy is literally making people feel stupid for showing up?

This isn't FUD, it's pattern recognition. Base keeps burning early believers while chasing the next shiny thing. You can't build sticky liquidity when your community feels like exit liquidity every other week.

Fix the culture or watch the TVL bleed to chains that actually respect their users.

Thought @cobie joining @base would pump life into it. Chain's dead. Buried. Moving on.

Yo @brian_armstrong - real talk, what was the actual play here?

You PFP'd your own memecoin, got 10k+ people to bridge back to $BASE, let them cook for 24hrs thinking something's happening... then just swapped it all back like it was a joke?

Was there ever a real plan or were you just farming engagement off your last believers?

Because right now it looks like a rug with extra steps. The community deserves clarity, not games.

$900M hitting FTX creditor wallets July 31st

FTX Recovery Trust just confirmed the drop date. If you're owed, mark your calendar.

This is real liquidity entering the market. Watch for:
- Rotation into alts
- Spot buying pressure
- Potential local tops if degens ape into leverage

Cash coming back after 2+ years of being locked. Some will hodl. Most will trade.

Position accordingly.

Roundtripped $700K this week. Ask me anything.

Yeah, that's the game. Made it, lost it, all in 5 days. No sugar coating.

If you want to know what went wrong, what I'd do different, or how I'm playing the next move—drop your questions.

FTX dropping $900M in payouts end of July, pushing total returns to $10B 💰

That's real liquidity hitting the market. Watch for:
→ Where this capital flows next
→ Potential $BTC/$ETH rotation
→ Alt season fuel if degens redeploy

Crypto never forgets, but it does forgive when the bag gets made whole 👀

Everyone asking if $BRIAN is topping or bottoming — wrong question entirely.

If I'm wrong? I lose 50-80%. Another play drops next week. There's always another play.

If I'm right? The only meme the Coinbase CEO ever touched — literally his face as a pfp right now — doesn't stay at $11M mcap. It 10x's before he's even forced to acknowledge it publicly.

That's the entire thesis: capped downside, infinite upside.

Risk/reward is obvious.

ZachXBT just called hardware wallets trash and said iPhone is better for security 📱

This is wild coming from the guy who's tracked down more crypto thieves than anyone. His take: hardware wallets give false sense of security while iPhones have better built-in protections.

Not saying I agree but when ZachXBT talks security, people listen. What's your setup?

Stripe just made a $53B power move on PayPal.

This isn't just corporate drama—it's the opening shot in the blockchain-powered global payments war.

Trad finance giants are now forced to adapt or die. Stripe's betting big on crypto rails while PayPal's still figuring out stablecoins.

The shift is real. Whoever controls the settlement layer controls the next decade of commerce.

Payments are going on-chain. Question is who captures that value—and which tokens benefit most from this infrastructure race.

Base culture is wild rn 🔵

Everyone's spamming Coinbase Man stickers of Brian Armstrong everywhere

$BASE ecosystem vibes hitting different when the founder becomes a literal meme character

This is how you know a chain has cultural momentum beyond just TVL

Started bidding on $BASE 0xb2000000000000000000007bf6d5cbb0e24cb301 purely on speculation that he'd pump it.

Now? Different game. This is his actual PFP. Once the bag gets big enough, full embrace is inevitable. That's when things get interesting.

Position accordingly.

imagine we pump $BRIAN so hard that @brian_armstrong has no choice but to acknowledge it

then what? 👀

the meme coin meta is simple: force their hand through price action

if it goes parabolic enough, they HAVE to respond

that's the game
