Coinbase’s Brian Armstrong was called out on Twitter for suggesting that Brazil and Argentina look into Bitcoin as a currency. The two countries will start discussions for a common currency this week.
Coinbase CEO and co-founder Brian Armstrong is feeling the heat on social media for chiming in on Brazil and Argentina’s discussion about having a common currency. The CEO said he wondered “if they would consider moving to Bitcoin — that would probably be the right long-term bet.”
The response was swift on Twitter, with some criticizing the choice of crypto and others criticizing the idea altogether.
