Remember The Internet Never Forgets

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong has recently deleted a substantial number of his tweets from the years 2015 to 2018. Additionally, the digital archive of the World Wide Web, known as the WayBackMachine, has also removed its archive of his tweets.

These tweets from that period covered a range of topics, including Brian expressing his support for increasing Bitcoin’s block size, referring to altcoins as distractions, discussing “replay attacks” on Coinbase, highlighting Ethereum’s price surge after its listing on Coinbase, questioning the full collateralization of Tether, and endorsing USDC, among other things.

As a result of the deletions, these tweets now only exist in the form of screenshots that were captured and shared by others during that time.
