“We don’t engage here when issues are unrelated to our core mission,” Armstrong continued, “because we believe impact only comes with focus.” In finishing, Armstrong made it clear that anyone who didn’t agree with his profits-before-politics mentality should leave. On Wednesday,, encouraging any employee made unhappy by his policy to take advantage of a newly created seperation package, a “generous” buyout, he promised.
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.”
The irony of the situation was, seemingly, lost on Armstrong and his backers. Cryptocurrency by nature is antagonistic to the status quo, a disruptive force meant to overturn systems of tradition and entrenched thinking. And that’s why Armstrong’s words urging his staff to forget about disrupting the status quo around race struck many as perplexing—or, worse still, as coming from someone bent on commercialism over principles. Box founder Aaron Levie was one of the most vocal critics.
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 it from 2010 to 2015, to an all-important portal of 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.
