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.

Grassroots Revolt Against GOP Elitism

By Matthew Hayward In the complex arena of political strategy, even those who occupy the highest echelons of power can falter, demonstrating a profound disconnect between their strategic intentions and operational execution. The recent failure to secure the endorsement for their preferred candidate, Dave Reichert, is not merely a setback; it is a revealing exposé of the grave strategic missteps at the heart of the Republican party's establishment in Washington State. These seasoned campaigners, these stewards of conservative strategy, have evidently underestimated the critical importance of grassroots engagement. While I acknowledge the logic behind promoting an established politician strategically positioned geographically and perceived as moderate in our swing state—a strategy driven by considerations of electability, which admittedly has its merits—the incessant focus on this argument and complete lack of any meaningful engagement and education has alienated the grassroots yet a...

Could Today Be the Cheapest Price for Bitcoin Ever Again? Here’s Why

By: Matthew Hayward Current price  Nov 10, 2024 76.72K 80.43K Is Now the Time to Buy Bitcoin? Bitcoin has come a long way since its early days as a niche digital asset. Today, as we enter another phase in its established four-year cycle , Bitcoin may be at a historic high, but it could soon become the new baseline price. This cycle, which has repeatedly shown Bitcoin’s resilience and long-term growth potential, suggests that the current price might be the lowest we’ll see again. While recent political shifts, including Donald Trump’s landslide election victory, have added new momentum and support for Bitcoin, the timing within the cycle itself makes this an ideal moment to consider buying. A Political Shift: From Anti-Crypto to Pro-Crypto For years, Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies have faced an uphill battle against a U.S. government determined to restrict and control their growth. This opposition was largely led by Gary Gensler, who waged an outright war against crypto from hi...

When the Census Goes Beyond the Constitution

 By Matthew Hayward The Census: From Counting People to Collecting Control The Constitution established the census as a straightforward tool for representation—nothing more, nothing less. Article I, Section 2 mandates an enumeration every ten years to determine how many representatives each state is allotted. That’s it. Simple. Effective. Proportional representation was the goal, and the census was designed to achieve it. So how did we end up here—with government agents asking about the number of bathrooms in our homes, our ethnic identities, and everything in between? This is the creeping hand of central planning at work. What began as a tool to empower individual representation has been twisted into a mechanism to empower bureaucrats, planners, and those who believe they know better than free individuals how to run their own lives. Central Planning: The False Promise of Data The justification for prying into the most intimate details of our lives is always the same: “We need the ...
