Brian Armstrong is poised to become one of the richest people in the world after Coinbase Global Inc. goes public Wednesday.
Coinbase, co-founded by Mr. Armstrong in 2012, runs the largest bitcoin exchange in the U.S. and is set to become the first major cryptocurrency-focused company to go public in the country. It is expected to fetch a valuation of between $65 billion and $100 billion, which could make Mr. Armstrong’s 20% stake worth up to $20 billion.
That would put the 38-year-old chief executive among the 100 wealthiest people in the world, based on Forbes’ most recent billionaires list.

The term $64,000 question is clearly racist.
The alt coin we bought is called SafeMoon.
SafeMoon isn’t on any of the main exchanges yet. We bought it on pancake swap and put it in a wallet. I do think they just added it to WhiteBit and BitMart shortly after we bought it.
Doge was originally a joke coin.
So that’s probably why.
Not sure why Musk is pushing it so hard?
Pancake Swap is a good pickup!
I’ve been thinking about buying that coin but have not.
How much gold I’d mined every year? Or silver? Or dollars printed?
They are moving targets, always growing.
Bitcoin hits 21 million. Then it stops. Period. It cannot grow further. THAT is why the Bitcoin price goes up.
Scarcity is built into the system. Unlike dollars.
Didn’t seem to do much by itself for ADA...but...that’s just one example.
I love the educational stuff on coinbase. I earned the rewards back in January, and that small amount of free crypto is actually worth about a thousand bucks! LOL
I think coinbase has a tremendous role to play in the crypto ecosystem, and I think as of today, we are mainstreamed
I’m also glad that crypto is getting more favorable comments and some really good participation here at FR!
Dodge coin was started as a joke. Not kidding. It has no utility. It is pure, humorous, speculation.
I love that folks have made money with it. But that is why it’s not on Coinbase.
Should I say “tulips” before one of the old fogeys comes in? Ha ha.
either that, or....”not backed by anything”....
ADA had a lot of hype before the Coinbase listing, so I think it was just out of steam by that point and the Coinbase listing just propped it up when it would otherwise have retraced down. I’m sitting on some myself in the hopes that it can pick up some of the slack while ethereum is throttled from congestion.
I’ve done very well with dogecoin over the years with my assessment that it serves as a sentiment indicator for the market; soaring in bull markets and tanking in bear markets. As such I compare it to buying bitcoin on margin, but without the lending fees or risk of liquidation.
Right....
Bitcoin fractionalizes...
Cardano (ADA) is the Etherum 2.0. that is near all time high of $1.56
ADA is Smart Contracts without insane gas fees proof work coin.
Cardano has done very well for the year, and should get another pump in 60 to 90 days with the release of Goguen.

Cost, speed and scale were big.
Now it’s smart contracts, staking, Decentralized Finance (aka De-Fi) and NFTs.
had a good run the last few days....I’m in the money atm!
