Coinbase will change the world on 4/14/2021

I woke up on Dec 17 2020 with a question. So I did what most people do when they want an answer, I asked Google.

"Hey Google, is Coinbase a publicly-traded company?"

I learned that it was not, but that in July they had made comments about possibly going public.

I set a Google alert on my phone to notify me of any articles that included 'Coinbase.'

That night while taking out the trash I got an alert, Coinbase announced they were submitting paperwork to the Security Exchange Commission (SEC) to have an initial public offering (IPO).

I called the next day to start the process to refinance my house to lower my interest rate, lower my monthly payment, and pull out equity to invest in Coinbase, Bitcoin (BTC), and other cryptocurrencies.

Few times have I been more confident that this was an investment opportunity I did not want to miss, this is a once-in-a-lifetime moment.

Sadly there wasn't a lot I could do knowing they would be going public. I could not figure out how to get access to trade on the secondary market, so I sat back and waited with everyone else. Oh, and I bought BTC, ATRI, ETH, and other cryptocurrencies, and cryptocurrency-related stocks.

Every day more big news is coming out about adoption and use by VISA, MasterCard, major banks, car companies, businesses, PayPal, the city of Miami, ETC. 

As we approach 4/14/2021, the day Coinbase goes public, not through a traditional IPO, but rather a DPO, or direct listing with the ticker "COIN," I have money on two separate exchanges waiting to buy. I took the day off from work, and I plan to double down in the following days and weeks if the price drops.

I'm getting calls from friends, co-workers, and family asking me about Coinbase's DPO and if I think they should get in.

I don't think, I know 4/14/2021 will change global financial forever. It isn't the start, and there will be a way to go, but it will be the single moment history will look back on as the day the US and the world moved toward a new financial system based on blockchain technology.

This is going to be the hottest DPO or IPO in history. EVERYONE will be talking about Coinbase and cryptocurrencies.

I don't know what is going to happen for sure. We are in very uncertain times, and the whole global economic system is overvalued and overpriced.

Will the market crash?

Will BTC and crypto replace the current system?

One thing I am positive about, cryptocurrency isn't going away, it is here for the long haul and I'm going to be in from the beginning.

When Government Demands Papers We Refuse

 By Matthew Hayward  9/19/2025  The Supreme Court just paused a lower court order that had limited federal immigration stops in Los Angeles. That stay lets federal agents resume roving patrols and interior operations that critics say rely on appearance, language, job, or neighborhood to pick people for questioning.  This matters because it normalizes a posture of suspicion. Checkpoints miles inland and roving patrols turn movement inside the country into a condition to be earned rather than a freedom to be enjoyed. The government already claims expanded authority inside the 100-mile border zone. That claim, plus an open green light for stops based on appearance, is a recipe for arbitrary enforcement.  Philosophy of resistance John Locke told us that the consent of the governed is the foundation of legitimate power. When rulers invade life, liberty, or property, or when they become arbitrary disposers of people’s lives and fortunes, the social compact is dissolve...

The National Guard Was Never Meant to Be a Federal Tool

By Matthew Hayward 7/13/2025 Let me say this clearly: the National Guard was created to defend the states, not to enforce the will of the federal government. It was meant to serve as a local militia—an armed extension of the people under the control of the state. The highest authority a Guard member was ever supposed to answer to is their elected governor, not a bureaucrat in Washington, not a federal agency, and certainly not a sitting president weaponizing military force on domestic soil. Yes, I know the laws have changed. I know the Montgomery Amendment, the National Defense Act, and the Supreme Court's decision in Perpich v. DoD rewrote the rules. But legal doesn’t mean constitutional. Gradualism doesn’t legitimize usurpation. You don’t get to trample foundational principles and call it progress. What’s happening now—federalizing state forces to deploy them in cities without gubernatorial consent—is blasphemous. It's an insult to the very spirit of the Constitution. The ...

Reality Is Rigged and You Can Hack It

By Matthew Hayward 7/29/2025 Manifesting Reality: How the Matrix, Quantum Entanglement, and Consciousness Intertwine Look, science fiction and science fact have been flirting for decades. But lately, the line between the two is starting to disappear. The idea that we’re living in a simulated reality isn’t just a late-night stoner theory anymore. It’s a framework, a lens to view those weird, unexplained moments that leave you thinking, "What the hell just happened?" Quantum entanglement, synchronicity, manifestation… they all start to make a lot more sense when you stop pretending reality is some rigid, mechanical machine. It’s not. It’s code. And if you’re paying attention, you might just figure out how to rewrite it. NPCs vs Manifestors: Who’s Really Running Things? Picture the world like a massive open-world video game. Some people are just running the default programming. They go to work, follow the script, consume what they’re told, and never ask questions. NPCs. Then the...
