BSV supporter?? Seems not because Coinbase doesnt even list BSV. BCH maybe yes. He used to be a vocal big blocker but seems very quiet ever since the insider trading allegations around the BCH listing.

i don't think exchanges "support" anything. and they definitely don't give a shit about block size, scaling or in some cases even security not matter if it is about bitcoin or some shitcoin.

i agree they shouldn't care, but it used to be a big deal for coinbase. brian armstrong constantly injected them into the block size debate in 2015-16. for instance:

Lets plan for success. Coinbase supports increasing the maximum block size

he was publicly lobbying for every hard fork block size increase, from BIP101 to XT to bitcoin classic, and loudly too:

when the segwit debate came to a head, there was naturally a lot of backlash against coinbase. i think 2017 was when #DeleteCoinbase became a real thing for the first time. i'm sure they realized getting involved in political debates was really bad for business.
