Armstrong advocates focusing the team's efforts on achieving common goals, rather than on social and political activities. Coinbase CEO decided to resort to such measures against the background of the destabilization of the public situation in the United States as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, growing social tension and the presidential election.

“Although I believe that behind these actionsgood intentions are lurking, they can destroy the values ​​of most companies, being a distraction and creating disunity within, ”he says.

Criticism from well-known entrepreneurs is notinfluenced Armstrong's views. He confirmed his intention to adhere to the new policies by offering generous compensation to employees who decide to leave the company because of this.
