Until, two weeks ago, that is, when Armstrong broke his silence to update the world on how the company’s no-politics experiment was going.

In a word: swimmingly.

On October 1, Armstrong posted a tweet thread revealing that, contra prophecies that his company would face a mass exodus and public shunning over the ban, Coinbase has instead gained new staff comprised of professionals eager to work in an environment dedicated to clear corporate goals rather than murky outside social agendas.

“We have a much more aligned company now, where we can focus on getting work done toward our mission,” Armstrong shared, adding, “it has allowed us to hire some of the best talent from organizations where employees are fed up with politics, infighting, and distraction.”

We use WebEx, and I never have a camera on. I just go about other business since the company is not focused on business.

I call the non political vendors with whom I do business and thank them for their neutrality. The others like coke and delta I avoid.
