Coinbase is the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange and one of the most successful companies in the crypto space.
In a recent interview with one of its earliest investors, it received some criticism from one of its earliest investors, who believes cryptocurrencies are worthless investments and should be shut down that too after turning a $10,000 investment into $6 million.
This investor’s comments have sent shockwaves across the crypto community by taking a jibe at the cryptocurrency industry.
However, the current state of the crypto space is far more complex and nuanced, which suggests that the criticism might not be completely inaccurate. Now, the investor is striving to emulate an investment fund manager who is renowned for accurately predicting the 2008 financial crisis.
He was fortunate to purchase cryptocurrency early on, exiting the market before it experienced a sharp decline.
Despite making a massive profit by initially investing back in 2012, with careful planning and strategy, he later sold his stake in 2021, months before the exchange’s dramatic downfall – the investor now has become an unlikely critic of the crypto space.
He’s been vocal with his opinions, loudly proclaiming his thoughts on the industry, much to the surprise of many.
He has utilized his notoriety in the online realm to criticize certain aspects of the cryptocurrency industry. For instance, he openly labeled a recently imploded target as a “Ponzi scheme” on his Twitter page.
