If anyone ha asked me the one subject that would never be discussed on Uncommon Knowledge, crypto would have headed the list. Peter Robinson is the best intellectual interviewer we have. He approaches this subject with the same skepticism people of my generation (I’m 64) expect. At the same time he injects an enthusiasm to be expected of our generation’s grandchildren. Well done, Peter.
I've had a Coinbase account for a few years, and knew of this guy just a little. But never heard him in depth. My respect for him has shot up big time. He's brilliant.
Bitcoin is not crypto. It’s Bitcoin and everything else. If you think Bitcoin is like any other crypto and that the words are interchangeable then you have lots of work ahead of you.
The reason Bitcoin has value is that it’s a decentralized network with its own bearer asset, meaning that it’s a scarce and transmittable money that is backed by energy and user-run nodes. It’s the world’s most decentralized and immutable database, and allows people to bring their money with them globally and send it around the world at the speed of light in a non-custodial way
Great interview! This is a valuable service for the boomer side of your audience. Brian is a Bitcoin hero and he does not scare normies away. Everyone can still protect their wealth with Bitcoin!
Watch your botcoin go to 0 btw it's not backed by anything n when the dollar goes to 0 bitcoin n all crypto go to 0. Smh didn't u go to school. Lol the professor
A small correction, gold is not scarce. The amount available is only limited by the effort humans exert to mine it. As the price goes up, more and more gold will be mined. Not so with BTC, 21 million is all there is, no matter the price.
Didn't think I'd see Lex Luther on the show! All joking aside, he's definitely one of the good ones. He's shown spinal fortitude, and is working to make our world a better place, and preserve individual liberty and ability to self-determine, much respect!
Extremely great interview to send to an older person to get them away from hating/having no knowledge of crypto. Not very deep in any one subject, but perfect as an intro.
Peter Robinson, you are not onlyban extraordinary interviewer but also a great inspiration for those who also intend to be interviewers! Keep up.the good work!
What a master class of journalism! Well prepared for every detail for asking a question. Now I know about the timeline of Brian Armstrong work in Coinbase. Best quality of the interview. 💯🇱🇺🇱🇹👊
Rome ended due to inflation because they stopped using gold the same with Spain France Amsterdam the Ukraine n the usa. The professor the only answer is gold
Bitcoin is the hardest money ever invented. And history has shown that hard money wins. And we are still extremely early. And please, don't say "crypto". It's Bitcoin, and everything else.
Great talk, I think this will be one that will be watched in 30 years time when the future are trying to understand the histoy crypto. Though at that stage, it may just be as common as cash is today. The talk has a James F Buckley vibe to it.
Congress should take the power to order the printing of money away from the Federal Reserve Bank. The market should set interest rates. If Congress decides to increase the money supply, let them pay the full political price. As for Argentina, Peron was a full-fledged Facist.
A suggestion: Armstrong dances on the surface when answering why Bitcoin’s not become a payment vehicle. How’s this? - the Fed’s aim of (say) 2.3% jnflation is, among other things, a stimulus for folks to buy - turn your money (into investments or products), or it loses its value. Bitcoin is deflationary. It therefore destroys one’s motivation to spend. Big picture: Bitcoin’s structure destroys our economic model. It has ushered in a competing model in which holders hold. Period. That stasis of a currency is antithetical to our entire economy, and since we are the spending man, now, bitcoin is in a very big way antithetical to us, our very notions of ourselves. That’s why we don’t spend it.
I set up a Coinbase account in 2017. They terminated it in 2022 saying I’d broken some rules but wouldn’t detail what. I hadn’t done anything wrong in any way.
I am happy to see this topic covered. But I would have loved to see a discussion with a researcher or early advocate in the field, not a corporate CEO. A CEO is very limited in what they are allowed to say on camera. It makes for a very muted discussion.
Brian comes across really well. Great to view this as a COIN share holder and BTC holder. The future is bright and Brian is the right man for taking COIN forward. Looking forward to Q2 results tomorrow.
Thanks for continuing updates I'd rather trade the stock market as it's more profitable. I make an average of $34,500 per week even though I barely trade myself.
I wish T. Sowell were sitting in. He’d remind us “there’s no solutions, only compromises” I daresay. But from Bitcoiners, all of whom know “not your keys, not your crypto”, I hope everyone notices that Mr Armstrong’s successful corporation is a massive bank-type institution - a middle man which Bitcoin was to circumvent. This point has limits. Of course: One cannot mine bitcoin easily any longer (the intended way to gain coins), so purchasing them is necessary. There are decentralized exchanges now, or soon (Better Than Money, eg), which allow individual exchanges of currencies. But Armstrong, in the end, was sneaky in his answer on freedom: his interests cannot, cannot possibly be those of the average bitcoin holder.
Dont be so cynical, it ridiculous, people need a way into the ecosystem and cb does a good job supporting it, as things evolve they will be more decentralized
Agreed but he's a huge icon in the crypto space and therefore pushes the crypto message to the masses. Love him or hate him he's doing work to spread Bitcoin throughout the world.
Almost halfway through the interview. I hope he answers the elephant in the room: The risk of the Feds freezing, or seizing the crypto held on the exchange.
Its provably unique in the sense that only one bitcoin miner solves the puzzle first and is awarded the coin. And that result is logged into the block chain on all the miners across the world. If there is a tie then the longest chain gets the coin. AFAIK
This was a great video. I've not watched many interviews with Brian aside from the CNBC clips. The man is clearly a very strong leader. I have no coinbase but I do have crypto. If I was to invest in a crypto stock it would be coinbase
I remember the SEC chairman, I can’t remember who he was, but they were suing some kid for doing whatever brokerage sell side brokerage firm does in America.
I ❤ when people say Bitcoin has no real value because you can’t buy anything with it. Then you ask them when the last time they saw someone buy gas or a cup of coffee using gold, silver, palladium, or artwork. Bitcoin is an immutable store of value. To use Bitcoin to buy groceries would be the wrong utility.
Great interview with Brian, looking forward to an interview with Richard Heart, It's probably 2-4 years away, but I'll just drop his name here and wait for the interview in a few years.. Crypto is going through big transformations, and it'll be more and more exciting as time goes on.
50:53 Important insights, the lens of those who lived through the depression is different. The best way ' to ensure the survival of USA' 53:25 - excellent focus.
Good morning. Forgive me if my tone comes off as crass, but at 2:00 Mr. Armstrong's...reply, is insufficient. Coinbase has been around more than long enough to not have the issues they have had for years. I am sure his words will help people take their first steps into the world of digital assets, so I am grateful for that. But, I advise caution to all who listen to him. His stance leans toward "centralization" which goes against a better way forward for money. Those who favor centralization may as well stick with the current system that is failing us, today. Pleas do your own research and ensure any decisions you make are as informed as possible. Take care, everyone.

The host did an incredible job showcasing both sides and engaging in fair debate with an open mind. Bravo

You hit the nail on the head. This is exactly what I was thinking, and I'm Gen Z.
BTC is the hardest and most pure form of money humanity has ever discovered.
I admire Brian's restraint. I could never be so diplomatic when talking about the Incompetent Congress or the Criminal Fed.
That is the reason why he is a CEO
I've had a Coinbase account for a few years, and knew of this guy just a little. But never heard him in depth. My respect for him has shot up big time. He's brilliant.
Such a classy interviewing style. Articulate, polite, open…
It’s cool watching people begin to understand bitcoin. I get to relive the excitement vicariously
0.1 BTC is now worth 7,000 USD
Bitcoin is not crypto. It’s Bitcoin and everything else. If you think Bitcoin is like any other crypto and that the words are interchangeable then you have lots of work ahead of you.
Your religion is kind of hilarious, and I’ve been in bitcoin for over a decade
The reason Bitcoin has value is that it’s a decentralized network with its own bearer asset, meaning that it’s a scarce and transmittable money that is backed by energy and user-run nodes. It’s the world’s most decentralized and immutable database, and allows people to bring their money with them globally and send it around the world at the speed of light in a non-custodial way
Managers in corporations should stay out of politics, religion, etc. I love that Armstrong took a stance on that.
Nice to see the Boomers and normies are finally getting some solid information on crypto. Well done Uncommon Knowledge. Better late than never.
Coming over out of my Bitcoin bubble a bit to see these comments and my goodness.. reminds me just how early we are in this transition
The best interview I have seen in regard to Bitcoin. Fantastic conversation. It has left me so much more knowledgeable and confident in Bitcoin.
you should watch Robert Breedlove podcasts instead
You really have to respect the open mindedness from the interviewer
lower your crazy fees Brian
BA seems like a very thoughtful guy. This interview is a win in my book.
Coinbase is the most important American company since Google.
Fix the money and you fix the world
It's the first time I have heard this interviewer. Excellent technique and want to hear more!
Im in crypto since 2017, have a Coinbase account since, never really took time to listen to Brian....I'm impress
what a gracious host. He’s fantastic.
hats off to interviewer .. extremely difficult subject for non-technical person
This is American journalism at its finest. Five star interview - historic.Thank you! 👏🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟👏
this is hilarious. "Pretend we have a functioning congress" lolz. sometimes this guy is the best part of the vid.
Smart move Brian, wish more leaders have spine like you
I would be interested in Tom Sowell's opinion on crypto
I'm willing to bet he's all for it.
When the guy said his 700 purchase went to 300 the next day. Brian should of said. Buy the dips
Great interview! This is a valuable service for the boomer side of your audience. Brian is a Bitcoin hero and he does not scare normies away. Everyone can still protect their wealth with Bitcoin!
Watch your botcoin go to 0 btw it's not backed by anything n when the dollar goes to 0 bitcoin n all crypto go to 0. Smh didn't u go to school. Lol the professor
Hey, I know you! I haven't seen your videos in a long time - I'm gonna check out your podcast again after this. I love your enthusiasm!
A small correction, gold is not scarce. The amount available is only limited by the effort humans exert to mine it. As the price goes up, more and more gold will be mined. Not so with BTC, 21 million is all there is, no matter the price.
Who created bitcoin? Do you reeeeally think the gov/deep state don't know?
Didn't think I'd see Lex Luther on the show! All joking aside, he's definitely one of the good ones. He's shown spinal fortitude, and is working to make our world a better place, and preserve individual liberty and ability to self-determine, much respect!
Get Michael saylor on to talk about Bitcoin!
Extremely great interview to send to an older person to get them away from hating/having no knowledge of crypto. Not very deep in any one subject, but perfect as an intro.
Fantastic interview, Coinbase and the crypto market as a whole are just getting started
Peter Robinson, you are not onlyban extraordinary interviewer but also a great inspiration for those who also intend to be interviewers! Keep up.the good work!
Wow I never knew this about Brian Armstrong. Kick ass guy. 🤜🤛👍
I think of crypto as two categories:
1. Bitcoin
2. All other cryptocurrencies
What a master class of journalism! Well prepared for every detail for asking a question. Now I know about the timeline of Brian Armstrong work in Coinbase. Best quality of the interview. 💯🇱🇺🇱🇹👊
Don’t interrupt the man with anecdotes. He was about to tell you about the fall of empires due to currency inflation and you stopped him. LISTEN.
Rome ended due to inflation because they stopped using gold the same with Spain France Amsterdam the Ukraine n the usa. The professor the only answer is gold
Crazy. Didn't expect to see this topic on Uncommon Knowledge. Bravo. Bitcoin (not crypto) is the future!
This is why we Bitcoin....... ❤
Never thought I would listen to a podcast or interview through the Hoover Institution. Great interview.
Bitcoin is the hardest money ever invented. And history has shown that hard money wins. And we are still extremely early. And please, don't say "crypto". It's Bitcoin, and everything else.
🙌 this. Study Bitcoin, not "crypto".
There’s hope. A brilliant young man.
Holy sh*t. This was a fantastic listen.
It was terrible.
Armstrong is a hero!
25:59 Leadership moment - clarity on the mission.👏
Wow. Best interview I’ve seen on this topic. Professional, transparent session. A rarity nowadays.
Great talk, I think this will be one that will be watched in 30 years time when the future are trying to understand the histoy crypto. Though at that stage, it may just be as common as cash is today. The talk has a James F Buckley vibe to it.

Great, simple, concise, sans prejudice interview! ❤
Coinbase is one of our favorite companies from Y Combinator.
Excellent interview. Thank you.
What a great interview!!
🤔
this is probably one of the best interviews I have ever seen.
I enjoyed every single minute of this! Thanks for the upload
Classy interview
I set up a Coinbase account in 2017. They terminated it in 2022 saying I’d broken some rules but wouldn’t detail what. I hadn’t done anything wrong in any way.
Very wonderful analogy
Mr. Robinson is the best interviewer.
I am happy to see this topic covered. But I would have loved to see a discussion with a researcher or early advocate in the field, not a corporate CEO. A CEO is very limited in what they are allowed to say on camera. It makes for a very muted discussion.
He’s at the crossroads of key economic issues and and actual player in how the world evolves, and you want some academic? Bizarre
Deflationary money 💰 Bitcoin is the best thing thats happened in financial history
Amazing interview, lots of respect for Brian Armstrong!
Brian comes across really well. Great to view this as a COIN share holder and BTC holder. The future is bright and Brian is the right man for taking COIN forward.
Looking forward to Q2 results tomorrow.
Good to see Coin CEO suing the SEC. He could have expressed his support to Ripple when they were going through the same with the SEC.
Thanks for continuing updates I'd rather trade the stock market as it's more profitable. I make an average of $34,500 per week even though I barely trade myself.
I'm favoured financially, Thank you Jesus $32,000 weekly profit regardless of how bad it gets on the economy.

How
..? Am a newbie in crypto investment, please can you guide me through on how you made profit?
excellent interview, Brian is a good human
What a great podcast! 👏🏻 Thank you for organizing the interview 🙏🏻
Love the information
Great interview. Thank you
Great interview. Lots of good information
Bitcoin will save the world.

great Stuff, nice guy! 💪
Its provably unique in the sense that only one bitcoin miner solves the puzzle first and is awarded the coin. And that result is logged into the block chain on all the miners across the world. If there is a tie then the longest chain gets the coin.
AFAIK
This is interview has opened my eyes and made me so interested in investing into cryptocurrency
Study Bitcoin. Forget "crypto". Bitcoin only.
Interesting example of how a small number of vocal people can cause such disruption. 29:45
Very well articulated for older generations. Which I believe, it is a primary target group of this interview. Good job.
I recorded one minute of Peter speaking about "bitcoin can fix it".
This was a great video. I've not watched many interviews with Brian aside from the CNBC clips. The man is clearly a very strong leader. I have no coinbase but I do have crypto. If I was to invest in a crypto stock it would be coinbase
I remember the SEC chairman, I can’t remember who he was, but they were suing some kid for doing whatever brokerage sell side brokerage firm does in America.
That’s a very unclear statement.
This guy is very convincing in a nice way
So was Bernie Madoff...
Yaaass what a sweet pairing Uncommon knowledge and Brian Armstrong
Brian very class act
Thank you for sharing.
May your day BE filled with more thankfulness, encouragement and forward thinking today....
If you’re relying on Brian Armstrong as your source then you didn’t do your due diligence.
I ❤ when people say Bitcoin has no real value because you can’t buy anything with it. Then you ask them when the last time they saw someone buy gas or a cup of coffee using gold, silver, palladium, or artwork. Bitcoin is an immutable store of value. To use Bitcoin to buy groceries would be the wrong utility.
Peter Robinson is the most inside the DC beltway guy I've listened to. And you know what, I love him for it.
Great interview with Brian, looking forward to an interview with Richard Heart, It's probably 2-4 years away, but I'll just drop his name here and wait for the interview in a few years.. Crypto is going through big transformations, and it'll be more and more exciting as time goes on.
Epic interview
Terrible interview. Brian runs a casino, and the interviewer naively confuses "crypto" with Bitcoin.
#VOLT FOR LIFE⚡⚡⚡
Cryptography is MUCH older than WW2. There was the Caesar cypher 2000 years ago.
dang, I wish I can like this video more than once!
brilliant interview - yhank you
very nice interview, host did a great job
50:53 Important insights, the lens of those who lived through the depression is different. The best way ' to ensure the survival of USA' 53:25 - excellent focus.
COIN for the win boys and girls
