Coinbase CEO Says Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency Must Evolve to Reach Mass Adoption & other BTC news Check it out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bgm7-E3hrHg&feature=youtu.beCoinbase CEO Brian Armstrong thinks Bitcoin and crypto must evolve and become easier to use before widespread adoption can take place. In a new interview with Peter McCormack, the host of the What Bitcoin Did podcast, Armstrong, who co-founded the leading US crypto exchange, says BTC needs to follow the internet’s lead in terms of usability. “We have not taken any unnecessary risks with [Bitcoin], and we have ensured that it is going to probably survive the test of time as the gold standard, and we may find other solutions with scalability with layer two. I guess the other way to look at it is, ‘What would have happened if we had found a way to safely scale it?’ Maybe we would not have had a need for some of these other chains that have come up and divided focus.

However, they haven’t taken that step in order to protect the market of commercial banks. He said, “The reason that they’ll hesitate to do that though, is because that is going to substantially cut into the market, the share of the commercial banks and, you know, these value-added innovative services that the commercial banks can offer that a central bank can’t.” |

Coinbase & Ripple ready for IPOs? Who else in Fintech will go IPO? What do you think? Is this good for the broader crypto market? I'm thinking this maturation of the market helps the space overall. Check out the video on this topic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vmw_kLKfPYACoinbase, founded in June 2012 by Brian Armstrong and Fred Ehrsam, is a leading cryptocurrency exchange and wallet platform headquartered in San Francisco. As one of the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchanges they are said to be preparing to list on the U.S. stock market sometime in early 2021. Sources speaking to Reuters said Coinbase had already begun the process for a listing; it isn’t clear on which exchange venue this would take place. Rather than an initial public offering, it’s said the firm would prefer to go down the route of a direct listing on an exchange. The Securities and Exchange Commission would have to approve Coinbase’s listing application. Should it be approved, Coinbase would be the first crypto exchange to go public in the U.S. The company was valued at $8 billion at its last funding round in 2018.
