That's fair - the nature of Coinbase's business isn't necessarily tied to their corporate culture.

My attempt at levity was really ad hominem; I regret it!

Teams, yes. But the greater companies? By default, you should assume that any modern corporation cannot be trusted to do anything but act in its own perceived short term best interest. Some may not, some may do better, but you should never assume that they will.

Trust, but verify. You shouldn't set yourself up to get massively screwed if a corporate pinky swear falls through. But if you act like an asshole in ever interaction, you're going to select for people who find that the norm.

Trust but verify only applies to people not pseudo legal entities that have at most a few hundred years of legal history that will likely change again in the next 1,000 years.

People acting behalf on these entities don’t deserve your unearned trust.

I never said that. I just don't want to be permanently surrounded by assholes. Presuming the other side is an asshole is a good way to end up in that situation.
