Coinbase boss sings Bitcoin’s praises on its 10th birthday

Bitcoin is Brian Armstrong’s first love, the Founder and CEO of crypto exchange Coinbase has said in a series of tweets marking the coin’s 10th birthday.

It is one of the most important inventions of all time and has launched a global movement, he argues. “It’s awesome to see an entire ecosystem spring up around it, but Bitcoin is my first love.”

Bitcoin remains the most popular asset on Coinbase among new customers and longtime hodlers alike. “It’s great to see steady progress continue, including lightning network adoption and more,” Armstrong comments.
