It’s time to prove you care about crypto.
We need to keep momentum. Congress is writing the rules now, but they won't vote YES until they hear from you.
The @standwithcrypto community has made 850k policy contacts to US lawmakers. Let's get it to 1M. #CryptoDayofAction
@brian_armstrong How can you say you were not aware about $BRIAN, which literally brought $100 million volume to YOUR chain, and right after you changed your pfp to the $BRIAN pfp.
Come on… at least don’t treat your community like if it was dumb, just reward it like it deserves.
“i may not even be aware if there is a coin or project attached to the content i’m posting”
brian there was a token called $BRIAN on YOUR chain, doing $100M+ in volume, with 10,000+ people trading it, thousands of them tagging you, replying to you, asking you to acknowledge the situation. how can you not know? that’s not an excuse, that’s an admission that you don’t pay attention to what’s happening on your own chain
and if you genuinely didn’t know, that’s worse. because it means the CEO of coinbase with 100M users is so detached from his own ecosystem that a $100M volume token named after him on his own L2 didn’t reach his radar. while thousands of people were in his replies
you put cobie in charge of the base app. you replied to ansem about why base is dead. you engaged with jesse about memecoins publicly. you changed your pfp to a memecoin. you clearly know what effect these actions have on a market that watches your every move. you’re not new to this
so either you knew and you’re pretending you didn’t, or you didn’t know and you need someone around you who does. because right now 10,000+ people are down 99% on a coin named after you, on your chain, that pumped because you changed your pfp, and you’re telling them it’s their fault for paying attention to you
that’s not a disclaimer. that’s abandonment

whenever you think of trusting base, remember this thread
jesse pollak’s coins
the head of base used the official coinbase X account to promote “base is for everyone” on zora. it spiked to $17M mcap in an hour. crashed 90% to $1.9M within 20 minutes. people thought it was an official base token. jesse said it was “an experiment” and that he “personally approved the post”
months later he launched his own JESSE token through the base app. called it a “creator coin, not a memecoin.” two snipers extracted $1.3M from it within seconds of launch. the token peaked at $25M and dumped. $50M in volume flowed through it and the regular users who trusted the head of base got sniped by bots while he collected LP fees
he then used those LP fees to buy other creator coins on zora. so the fees generated from his community getting sniped went to propping up more creator coins that also dumped
him and brian promoted tokens linked to balaji srinivasan and other figures. all crashed. one critic pointed out “the same users kept eating the downside on team-promoted tokens.” nobody at base adjusted
he endorsed a soulja boy token, a person zachxbt publicly documented running 73+ token promotions, 16 NFT collections, most of them rugs or abandoned, earning $730K+ from paid crypto scams. jesse invested $1,500 and promoted it publicly. zachxbt’s report was from 2023. it was public. the head of base either didn’t bother to check or didn’t care
he shared a GIF playing on “base is for everyone” that rotated through the phrases “base is for pimping” and “base is for squirting.” had to publicly apologize. the guy running a coinbase-backed chain, a publicly traded company, posting this to hundreds of thousands of followers
after all of this he said base won’t “pump tokens” or “support the chart behind the scenes.” the same person who launched multiple coins that dumped on his community won’t help yours. his charts get LP fees. yours get abandoned
the $BRIAN disaster
brian armstrong, CEO of coinbase, $50B+ publicly traded company, changed his pfp to a $BRIAN memecoin. 10,000 people bought in. the CEO of the chain is backing it: what could go wrong? he removed the pfp 23 hours later. coin went to zero. 10,000+ people down 99% after trusting the literal CEO
