Ah, live and learn. Fun to share here, but as another commenter pointed out I don't want to spend too much time on it or burn bridges.
They did great with Coinbase, but by and large missed crypto due to that attitude. Maybe they'll reflect on that now that Garry is back.

When you say they “missed” crypto, has crypto actually become something legit yet, apart from a vehicle for wild speculation, hype, and what feels in many situations like get rich quick or ponzi schemes?
Genuine question (based on what my perception has been, it’s mostly been FOMO investing, but maybe I’m just missing something?)
