"I recently sat down with the Coinbase CEO at a Goldman Sachs event north of San Francisco. Unlike many executives, Armstrong doesn't relish media interviews, but he lights up when given the opportunity to discuss big ideas in crypto and technology. This was the case when I asked him about the fast-evolving world of wallets-which Armstrong believes will supplant web browsers-and the potential for crypto-based identity verification, which he thinks is coming soon."
"Armstrong has been right about calls like this in the past. Way back in 2016, he shared a "master plan" that envisioned blockchain evolving into a multi-pronged industry that touched hundreds of millions of people. It seemed fanciful at the time, and even more so when Crypto Winter set in and Bitcoin nose-dived to $2,000 the next year. Today, that far-flung prediction has come true."
Brian Armstrong lacks the swagger of some tech founders but demonstrates vision and leadership that have guided Coinbase to market dominance. He predicts wallets will supplant web browsers and foresees crypto-based identity verification arriving soon. Armstrong's 2016 "master plan" forecast blockchain's evolution into a multi-pronged industry reaching hundreds of millions, a prediction that proved prescient despite Crypto Winter and Bitcoin's plunge. Coinbase has diversified revenue beyond trading into stablecoins, staking, and custody, generating consistent hefty profits. Coinbase's current stability reflects a skilled executive team that replaced early internal drama and in-fighting.
