Re: According to the Ceo of coinbase 1 BTC can actually change your life.
This is the kind of stuff I hate to read from people who I consider old blood as far as the forum is concerned. Maybe not to the general bitcoin ecosystem but at least to the forum you can be considered a veteran. It's quite preposterous to say that He is just "some Brian"..LOL This is the CEO/ Co-founder of coinbase you are talking about, the largest , most influential cryptocurrency exchange in USA.
So saying something like "His opinion is not important" is pretty stupid. Brian has had a consistent stand towards enabling Open financial systems and for everyone to be able to have access to finance irrespective of their country and screw-ups by their respective Governments. (Say, Zimbabwe, Venezuela).

We still have some kind of freedom on this forum to express our opinion in accordance with the rules of the forum, what you hate or love is something else entirely. Ignore option is still available, and it is free
Brian is just interested to get more money in his pocket, and despite his positive attitude, the idea of "open financial systems" is not something Coinbase can promote as centralized company working under US law.
The problem of you and most others here in the forum (or in general) is that you admiring individuals who do nothing but get rich under the slogan "We are for Bitcoin!. What Brian is saying is that we need to buy more Bitcoins so he and his mates can get more money from fees.
One man is nothing, strength is in numbers - at least Satoshi was aware of this, which is why he decided that an individual should never be above the project as a whole.
