Brian Armstrong Coinbase CEO Who Gave Me, Zennie Abraham, My First Bitcoin After Meeting At Mars Bar SF, Goes Public
Congratulations to my friend Brian Armstrong, who I met during a fundraiser for Bryan Parker for Mayor of Oakland in San Francisco at Mars Bar in 2013.
Both of us were introduced by a mutual friend there, and as it turned out, had a number of shared acquaintances, including Reddit co-founder Steve Huffman, who I interviewed 13 years ago at the Web 2.0 party thrown for him after AdTech.
Anyway, Brian gave me my first bitcoin after that meeting. My only mistake was not buying enough to have one full bitcoin, then holding it. I always held on to some, which proved to be a smart investment system.
I have been with Coinbase since the beginning. Ups and few downs and a lot of good in between.
Congratulations Brian!
Also, this proves that in the digital age the San Francisco Bay Area is the Detroit of the 21st Century. Many of today’s tech giants I met when they were just getting started. Why? First, living in Oakland, and second, gaining friendships in tech. And third, not fearing to attend tech functions.
Got that?
Stay tuned.

Note from Zennie62Media’s Zennie62 YouTube and Oakland News Now Today Blog SF Bay Area: this video-blog post demonstrates the full and live operation of the latest updated version of an experimental Zennie62Media , Inc. mobile media video-blogging system network that was launched June 2018. This is a major part of Zennie62Media , Inc.’s new and innovative approach to the production of news media. What we call “The Third Wave of Media”. The uploaded video is from a vlogger with the Zennie62 on YouTube Partner Channel, then uploaded to and formatted automatically at the Oakland News Now site and Zennie62-created and owned social media pages. The overall objective is smartphone-enabled, real-time, on the scene reporting of news, interviews, observations, and happenings anywhere in the World and within seconds and not hours. Now, news is reported with a smartphone: no heavy and expensive cameras or even a laptop are necessary. The secondary objective is faster, and very inexpensive media content news production and distribution. We have found there is a disconnect between post length and time to product and revenue generated. With this, the problem is far less, though by no means solved. Zennie62Media is constantly working to improve the system network coding and seeks interested content and media technology partners.
