Coinbase CEO Frowns at People Tagging Him to Politics

The CEO of Coinbase is not happy about people saying he is pushing information as regards politics.

Less than a month after the CEO of this top brand made it clear that he is not involved in politics, he breached his own ideology by posting promoting a fallacious political post. On October 23rd, Brian Armstrong posted a link to a Rob Rhinehart blog, where he was tagged for endorsing Kanye West as the man fit to be in the White House.

Major updates:

  • The writer's title of the blogpost is "why I am voting for Kanye West," and he tagged the CEO of Coinbase.
  • The article is riddled with falsehood, including a lie that Joe Biden's son committed suicide.
  • Crypto community members called the CEO a hypocrite for making a political statement.

After Brian Armstrong's statement in September, about 60 staff left the firm. In a meeting on October 1st, the CEO also made it clear that some of his employees were on a side regarding the issue.

Do you think it is right for the CEO to take sides politically? Share your thoughts in the comments.
