Arena Show Part I: Idea Dinner + YC Continuity · Acquired
- ▶ 23:16 Ben Gilbert I can't remember if we've done it on air, but I looked back at our idea dinner picks, and we haven't actually picked it on the idea dinner, and that's Coinbase.
- ▶ 25:37 Ben Gilbert And Coinbase is literally the best example of that and has, I don't know.
- ▶ 25:42 David Rosenthal Not only that, but Coinbase and FTX, they make money whether crypto goes up or down.
- ▶ 25:53 Ben Gilbert So my pick is Coinbase.
- ▶ 26:05 Packy McCormick One, I see a lot of pitches from senior ex-Coinbase people, and so it feels like there's a post IPO brain drain happening a little bit, which is natural and you also don't love to see.
- ▶ 26:18 Packy McCormick I think FTX is, I mean, like, there's a lot of comparing FTX and Coinbase because they're right around the same market cap right now.
- ▶ 27:01 Ben Gilbert I mean, um, the FTX bear case on Coinbase would be that derivatives are actually a much bigger market than trading direct equities or direct crypto.

- ▶ 1:22:07 Anu Hariharan You got to get Airbnb and Coinbase to come teach us this pre-IPO.
The Browser (with Brendan Eich, Chief Architect of Netscape + Mozilla and CEO of Brave) · Acquired
- ▶ 1:13:06 Brendan Eich Self-custody versus custodial usability trade-off space, because it took 25 years to train people to use username and password logins, and maybe for real banks and Coinbase and so on, you have to have a second factor authenticator app or…
- ▶ 1:13:35 Brendan Eich Whereas if you lose your pass, forget your password and lose your YubiKey, lose your authenticator app or the phone it's on, you can probably convince Coinbase you're you
- ▶ 1:16:45 Ben Gilbert Hey, for a nice experience to have all of your wallets aggregated here, type in your secret phrase from your, you know, local self-custidied wallet into our thing, and I've seen this on Coinbase, but I know there are others.
