Armstrong founded the company, which has become one of the largest in the Bitcoin space, in June 2012.
Before founding Coinbase, Armstrong worked as a Software Engineer at AirBNB from 2011-2012. Previously, he founded UniversityTutory.com and also worked as a software engineer at CarWoo.com.

Armstrong believes in optimistic future of bitcoin regulation.
“I think it’s going to end up a lot like the Internet,” Armstrong said. “Some countries try to regulate the Internet — cryptocurrency will be very much like that. It will be legal, and there will be some countries with currency control.”
