Coinbase is the brainchild behind cryptocurrencies? How? They were not the first, they are not the biggest, they don't have the most cryptocurrencies/platforms, they are not the fastest/cheapest/best support and so on.
In fact, I can't figure out a single thing that Coinbase is the best at in the cryptocurrency industry. So what do you mean with brainchild here?
"brainchild of distributed ledger tech and crypto currency capitalism" sure sounds like they are implying Coinbase almost invented cryptocurrencies. But English is not my native language so maybe I misunderstand it wrong.
