Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong joins Rich Kleiman for an all new Boardroom Talks. This conversation dives into the early aughts of Armstrong's journey through the business world, a journey that led him from Bay Area Bitcoin meetups to the Silicon Valley staple Y-Combinator, a place where his idea for the future of cryptocurrency truly came to life. Armstrong stresses how the early stages of cryptocurreny, much like any new innovation, including Sam Bankman-Fried's FTX, continues to be riddled with peaks and valleys, but that the utility will always be there for those who need it. Throughout the highs and inevitable volatility, of the bitcoin ecosystem, Armstrong discusses how he's striving to do good in the world, empower the younger consumer of cryptocurrency and foster an environment that helps people have autonomy over their money in the digital space.
