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...

The Heavy Toll of Reclaiming Freedom

By Matthew Hayward The struggle for freedom has been a recurring act in the grand theater of human history. Yet, there is a philosophical argument that once freedoms are lost, they are irretrievably gone. This perspective, while disheartening, merits exploration. It's a chilling echo of the words of the trailblazing libertarian Claire Wolfe, "America is at that awkward stage; it's too late to work within the system, but too early to shoot the bastards." The first act in this tragic play is the rise of technology. As we advance technologically, the tools of distraction become more potent. The Roman Coliseum has been replaced by the smartphone, a device that can pacify and distract with unprecedented efficiency. This technological pacification, while seemingly benign, has a sinister side. It diverts attention from the erosion of freedoms, making it easier for those in power to chip away at our liberties unnoticed. Consider the pervasive surveillance facilitated by our ...

The Quiet Surrender of Liberty

 By Matthew Hayward The slow poison of complacency is the death of the fighting spirit. History is filled with examples of once-free people who gradually surrendered their liberty, not in a single stroke but through a series of quiet concessions. Tyranny often doesn’t arrive with the sound of thunder; it creeps in like a thief in the night, taking advantage of human complacency. The most maddening aspect of this process is not the power-hungry forces behind it, it is the passive, apathetic acceptance by the very people it seeks to control. Complacency is the death knell of liberty. It dulls the senses, erodes vigilance, and normalizes oppression over time. What once sparked outrage and resistance becomes routine, accepted as the new normal. The body scanners at TSA checkpoints, the Patriot Act, the ever-expanding surveillance state, each started with public protests and fiery debates. Now, these violations of privacy and freedom are woven into the fabric of everyday life. Why do pe...
