3 Lessons from the Fall (and Maybe Rise) of Coinbase (223)

The Tech Strategy Podcast

This week’s podcast is about Coinbase, which has been coming back in terms of share price and revenue.
You can listen to this podcast here, which has the slides and graphics mentioned. Also available at iTunes and Google Podcasts.
Here is the link to the TechMoat Consulting.
Here is the link to the Tech Tour.
Here are the three lessons:
Lesson 1: Don’t get seduced by stories and cool business models.
Lesson 2: You live and die with the customer. Bitcoin + Coinbase was a 10x solution to a massive problem.
Lesson 3: You can’t disrupt the government. Or State Owned or State-Directed Enterprises. Unless they approve.
