but can we for once recognize that they are the most successful company ever created by Bitcoin?
It's by far the most popular and wealthy business in the game, which is a great achievement for sure, but on the other hand also worrying. With Coinbase growing larger and larger, they more and more centralize the market they are operating, and the more important their end word will be when it comes to forks and various implementations. I see that people are massively ignoring/underestimating this, but it may turn out to work against us in the future. For that reason I strongly hope that the competition will up its game a notch or two, to snoop off a few extra percentages from Coinbase's already massive market share.
