Coinbase was valued at 8B at the end of 2018(crypto winter). Bitcoin price was ~4000$ and $ETH ~100$. Crypto had very few applications back then. Coinbase now at ~10B MC with 2.7B net cash (cash - debt). So real valuation lower than 2018. $COIN an easy generational buy.

Coinbase was valued at 8B at the end of 2018(crypto winter). Bitcoin price was ~4000$ and $ETH ~100$. Crypto had very few applications back then. Coinbase now at ~10B MC with 2.7B net cash (cash - debt). So real valuation lower than 2018. $COIN an easy generational buy.

Still true. $COIN is in the support range since this tweet 2 weeks ago trading very technical. This is despite $ETH and $BTC dropping big. Sellers starting to look weak, tax sell-off and rebalancing are over, strong earnings around the corner. Next leg up is brewing.

As opposed to some views in CT, Bitcoin ETF is very bullish for Coinbase. Coinbase is listed as a custodian and in charge of trading execution for some of the major ETFs (e.g., BlackRock). This means that trading revenues will be essentially split between BlackRock and Coinbase
