    First, I am not doing this!! I look for value and stability in companies (ones that have been beaten into the ground)...Rise from the ashes.

    Just wondering if there is hidden value here...What if I were to buy the stock below $45., then do a covered call for about 6 months out at $45.?

    They are audited and are a US company. It is a way to get into crypto without getting into many coins themselves. I hate that they have derivatives out there (biggest problem).

    I do not know enough about them, to know if they have great exposure to each coin. They do both the media side and the trading side.

    There it is, please shoot down my logic...

    PS Could they be one of the few media companies to start a paywall and be successful at it??

    I guess my real question is, "is there value here, or is it a house of cards"??

    i value it, i have money parked there for over a decade - so come take my money i don't care.

    i am stupid i haven't been selling calls but i never thought the $100 bucks i put into btc would ever do anything either.

    I guess my real question to YOU is, if you can't find value in companies with strong balance sheets, a historic track record of innovation and an honest and reputable board and CEO what makes you think you can find value in coin base?

    Yeah, shoot holes in me...But I didn't invest in FTX Or Bitcoin at it's highest.

    Can you trust their auditor? Here is where they conduct business in the US...

    Digital Currency services, Fiat Wallet services

    Coinbase, Inc. c/o C T Corporation System 818 West Seventh St., Ste. 930 Los Angeles, California 90017

    It's a suite in LA...Here is where they do...
    Credit and Lending services, Margin Trading services...Same location!!

    Yeah, I get remote work and services. But this looks like a pass to me.

    Also I believe there is tons of option money working against this company.

    I'll sit (eat my popcorn) and watch from the sidelines...Thanks
