1 Year of Coinbase as a mission focused company
Every company that continues to let itself get embroiled in Twitter&#x27;s Political Topic of the Week is at such a distinct disadvantage it will ultimately fail. It&#x27;s inevitable if you extrapolate. They won&#x27;t survive the evolutionary process and will get selected out, only earning themselves a Darwin Award.<p>Imagine a rowing team where half the team rows in one direction and the other half rows another direction. They never agree on which direction to row and the direction constantly changes. Even if it&#x27;s just a dedicated 5% rowing somewhere else, it&#x27;s going to throw the whole boat off course. Or they&#x27;re not rowing at all and just yelling at each other on Slack all day. Compare with a team that focuses on the mission, all rowing in the same direction. It&#x27;s not hard to see who is most likely to reach the finish line.<p>The age old wisdom of not bringing your personal politics and religion into work is wisdom for good reason.
