Coinbase CEO apologizes for 'not understanding meme coins,' gets roasted: 'The most out-of-touch tweet in history' Brian Armstrong responded to recent community dissatisfaction over his profile picture change and claims that the Base community hasn't received enough support. He posted, saying, "Please don't treat my personal X account as a source of investment advice or token signals." He explained that he's just sharing content he finds interesting and might not even know if a post is linked to any token. He emphasized that his posts and profile picture changes don't represent any endorsements. However, this response not only failed to quell the criticism but also sparked an even bigger backlash. Some users directly pointed out contradictions: a token named BRIAN once appeared on the Base chain, with over $1 billion in trading volume and tens of thousands of participants. Many users had even @mentioned him, asking for a response, making his claim of being "unaware" hard to believe. Others mocked him, saying, "A founder of a platform built on tokenizing everything doesn't understand why his posts are being tokenized." Some users bluntly stated they would withdraw all their assets from the Base chain and called on others to do the same. Armstrong simply replied, "I respect your decision." This response has been labeled by some as 'the most out-of-touch tweet in history.'
