All else aside, I am impressed by how hard Coinbase alumni pull out the stops for each other

Honestly, one of the best mafias in tech right now. If crypto succeeds, I think we'll look at Coinbase as the next iteration of PayPal, as its alumni would have gone on to spawn a new generation of great crypto companies

Definitely, but PayPal and Coinbase are more household names

That said, you can't discount how much Joe did for Ethereum and crypto

i think another good mafia is consensys - metamask, linea, now folks going on to build TAC ; there's also serotonin

different in culture but already creating impact..

true, seriously impressed with their work

Coinbase really did a better job than most at training missionaries, not mercenaries.

crypto is paving a new way for not just payments but for mafias

we are casting by the grace of that mafia
