Brian Armstrong on Bitcoin

Bitcoin is one of the most important inventions of all time and has launched a global movement. 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.

I believe we’re still at the beginning. The white paper signaled the start of a movement and the full promise of Bitcoin is still yet to be realized.

The magic of Bitcoin is that when you send one, you can’t keep it too. That obviously changes what it means to own things on the internet (“my bitcoins” feels really different than “my iTunes songs”).
