Is it Just Me or Does it Seem Like Brian Armstrong (CEO of Coinbase) Talks About Steem Indirectly in This Video?

in #triptolemus7 years ago

I'm listening to this Brian Armstrong interview right now. He's the CEO of Coinbase and he talks about a lot of interesting ideas in this Bloomberg piece.

The following embed is synced to the short segment where Armstrong was talking about use cases for Cryptos.

He said that one was user generated content sites and he talked about a button that was like an upvote or a like but instead transmitted small amounts of currency to the author.

He called it this "universal currency of the internet"...

It's pretty interesting. I only know of 1 website other than Steem and its apps (Steemit, D.tube, DLive, etc.) that has an interface and structural design similar to what Armstrong is talking about and that is a site that has almost no usage.

Coinbase also mentioned Steem earlier this month on their "cryptos under review" tweet. So it's definitely possible that it's on Armstrong's personal radar as well.

I really feel like he's talking about Steem here... Call me crazy.

P.S. a few minutes later someone asks him if there are any coins he's excited about in terms of usage and he referred back to the list and said there were some on there that he was excited about!


Do you feel like he's talking about Steem?

Do you know of any other sites that offer anything remotely fitting that description other than Steem?

How far off is the idea that Coinbase will list Steem in the near future (especially considering its stability and usability comparative to the other cryptos on Coinbase's upcoming list)?

First important moment at 22:00 and second about other coins is at 23:50

Good catch. I thought I had the video qued up to the right spot but didn't realize the embed was acting funny. Thanks ;)

Coinbase is my favorite exchange. No doubt it is top rated crypto exchange. Very reliable.
upvoted, followed and resteemed.

Listen to what he says.. this is going to be huge.

He’s definitely referring to steemit as well

I had this interview playing in the background and seem to remember thinking sort of the same thing as you are saying. Also how are you getting such a high payout?
You should make a post about that!

only know of 1 website other than Steem and its apps

Which one you tawkin about?

I think he is talking about Steem and not that “website other than Steem...”😀

Buenas noche por la información que nos brindas después de haber escuchado la entrevista. Saludos desde Venezuela

I watched the whole interview. He was clearly talking about STEEM without mentioning the word STEEM. 😐 Which other cryptocurrency has a use-case like the one he was referring to? Though I am not sure if he did this on purpose or not. 🙄
