> An example could be climate change. If Coinbase is doing nothing to make energy more green (even if that's just writing amicus briefs or blog posts), then they are effectively saying, "The way things are is fine."

You think every single company that isn't writing amicus briefs or blog posts about climate change is taking a political stance against fighting climate change?

No, but coinbase is a company that thrives on carbon intensive technology. If they are not doing what they can to shift the scales of cryptocurrency toward more sustainable proofs, while at the same time promoting cryptocurrency, they are accelerating carbon pollution.

Exactly. This is why I specifically choose climate change for coinbase.
