I have nothing to do with that coin and honestly wasn't really following it (might have seen a few mentions). I'm focused on lots of things, but I'll admit, the trenches is not one of them. People are doing lots of things across Base, and Coinbase more broadly. So I'm not going to jump in and support a coin I have nothing to do with. Sorry to disappoint.

Regarding the recent buzz around my profile picture changes and some feelings that the Base community isn’t being supported enough: I appreciate the feedback (even if tough to hear) and I realize you wouldn't take the time to respond unless you cared. It seems I wasn't clear enough setting expectations for all of you, so let me try and do that now: please don’t follow my personal X account for investment advice or signals around individual coins. I’m simply posting things I find interesting or funny on the internet. I may not even be aware if there is a coin or project attached to the content I'm posting (you should assume I'm not, to be safe). My posts and profile pics are also not endorsements or commitments to anything. Base is our shot at building foundational infrastructure for financial services where we can all innovate together. That includes tokenized stocks, borrow/lend protocols, stablecoin payments, etc and yes even meme coin trading. I believe in economic freedom, and support you trading whatever you want. Just realize that if you're treating my X account as alpha, you are doing so at your own risk, against my wishes. I would never recommend this. On the topic of “support” from the Base team or Coinbase, there seems to be confusion around this too. There are many tokens we would like to list on our centralized exchange, but can't for compliance and regulatory reasons. If you want Jesse or me to pump your bags or shill certain coins, we're also not going to do that. Here is what we are committed to on support: we run in-person Base Batches and issue grants to high potential builders, Coinbase Ventures and the Base Ecosystem Fund also invest in the most promising companies building on Base, and we periodically integrate promising Base defi protocols into our products at Coinbase which enhances distribution. I might even mention something on X if I think it's interesting, but again, this is not investment advice. In general, we bias toward supporting projects that we believe will create long term customer value. You may like this approach or you may not, but either way hopefully it creates clarity going forward, so you can decide what you want to do. I respect your choice, either way. P.S. I still might post memes if I think they are funny! It's still not investment advice.

Coinbase创始人兼CEO @brian_armstrong 1小时前更新了个人头像，相关meme币 $BRIAN 出现明显波动，社区解读为Brian“明牌支持meme” 我们先细看一下这个新头像 新头像是一张漫画风格的超级英雄形象：光头的Brian身穿蓝色紧身衣，胸口巨大“C”标志（Coinbase），周围漂浮着各种加密货币，手势开放，背景有Coinbase Logo，气泡写着“CRYPTOCURRENCY FOR ALL!”（给所有人的加密货币），下方大字“UNLEASHES THE CRYPTO FLOODGATES!”（释放加密洪流！）。 图片其实没啥特别，就是AI生成。不过与brian以往低调务实的形象形成鲜明对比，因此迅速引发生态的热烈讨论。 再来看一下本次事件产生的大背景 Base失去了2025：在7月13日前后，Brian本人公开承认过去一年对内容币策略失败，“我们搞砸了，该翻篇了。” Base目前重点转向交易、支付和AI。 2026遇到@RobinhoodApp L2的直接竞争：在创始人vlad的积极互动下，meme作为文化快速获取注意力、用户和流动性的工具在robinhood链层出不穷，base dev纷纷出走。与robinhood的头对头脚对脚的竞争中，交易所、上所预期、生态支持、运营策略等等，有着2年多先发优势的base，目前优势似乎并不是非常明显。 此前Brian更注重监管合规、机构和长期基础设施，这次突然玩起meme风格，可能是对Base文化缺失的主动补救，也可能是对Robinhood等竞争对手的回应。 所以这是Base“终于懂了meme”的信号吗？这次会不同吗？ 我只想说，Brian，这次真的不能再搞砸了！
