from Sunday, a lengthy treatise that attempted to draw a firm line in the sand: Coinbase would take no part in any social justice movement. Generally, Armstrong seemed to say, he expected his employees to keep their heads down and focus on their job of building out the cryptocurrency exchange.
Immediately, Armstrong’s comments drew in supporters—and plenty of aghast critics. Among the most notable of those who rushed to Armstrong’s side was the venture capitalist Paul Graham. “Yet again, @brian_armstrong leads the way,”. “I predict most successful companies will follow Coinbase's lead. If only because those who don't are less likely to succeed.”
How he chose to deliver this message—on Twitter—is emblematic of today’s political era and the state of modern political discourse. Twitter has grown from a “microblogging site,” the phrase often used to describe the platform when Costolo captained it from 2010 to 2015, to an all-important information and news portal, the place, naturally, where President Trump and Democratic nominee Joe Biden went after the debate to further press their messages to voters.
You just put words in his mouth. I call that slander.
