Title: Coinbase removed their article about ETH being forefront...
Post by: Red-Apple on December 07, 2016, 01:01:16 PM
Remember a while back in the heat of the moment where Ethereum was being pumped. that was the time when Coinbase Co-Founder Fred Ehrsam decided to go as far as calling ethereum as the "forefront of digital currency" and in the article even point out that Ethereum is better in different aspects such as "code" and "development team".

Today they decided to take it back by removing that stupid article from their blog:
https://medium.com/the-coinbase-blog/ethereum-is-the-forefront-of-digital-currency

here is the google cache (don't know if the below link works or not, i copied the link from the address bar after visiting the cache in google search):

now lets see if they bring it back because of topics like this and the one on reddit to hide this scandal.  ;D

It was fake news, and therefore was going to be removed.  I thought you knew?

on reddit they're saying they're fiddling with their medium stuff and it'll be back later with extra content.

still, it was a very dumb move to pump something so painfully unproven.

these guys should be in the business of managing digital assets and not participating in hype.
