Brian Armstrong tells the founding story of Coinbase: โ€œNothing was workingโ€ Brian Armstrong's journey to building Coinbase wasnโ€™t easy. In 2012, he left his job and joined Y Combinator to follow his dream of creating something big. But things didnโ€™t go as planned. First, he struggled to find anyone to join his team. Then, just when he thought he had the right cofounder, things exploded in a dramatic way. And to top it off, just three months into the business, they were hit with a lawsuit. Brian was frustrated, but he didnโ€™t give up. He learned that building a startup is full of setbacks. He says, โ€œIt feels like nothing is working, and thatโ€™s okay. Donโ€™t quit just because itโ€™s tough.โ€ He kept pushing forward, always listening to his customers. Eventually, he figured out what they neededโ€”a simple way to buy Bitcoin. Coinbase became successful, but it wasnโ€™t easy. It took years of hard work, but Brianโ€™s persistence paid off. His message? Keep going, even when it feels like everything is falling apart.
