It\u2019s time for Brian Armstrong to make his move. While other billionaire CEOs try to buy bankrupt crypto companies on the cheap, the Coinbase leader is focusing his sights on hard science. To announce his new endeavors Brian Armstrong visited Tim Ferriss\u2019 podcast. In that interview, he expanded on the deep topics that the companies he\u2019ll fund deal with. Make no mistake, though. The real announcement was that Brian Armstrong is selling Coinbase stock.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m sharing this as I want you to hear it from me first.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Brian Armstrong (@brian_armstrong) October 15, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n\n In a recent Twitter thread, the Coinbase CEO wrote, \u201cI\u2019m passionate about accelerating science and tech to help solve some of the biggest challenges in the world. To further this, I\u2019m planning to sell about 2% of my Coinbase holdings over the next year to fund scientific research and companies like NewLimit + ResearchHub.\u201d What are those companies and what do they do? Keep reading to find out.<\/p>\n Considering the alarming amount of crypto CEOs leaving their positions, it\u2019s important that Brian Armstrong cleared this up. \u201cFor the avoidance of doubt, I intend to be CEO of Coinbase for a very long time and I remain super bullish on crypto and Coinbase. I\u2019m fully dedicated to growing our business and advancing our mission, but I am also excited to contribute in a different way,\u201d he tweeted.<\/p>\n What are the ideas that excite Brian Armstrong this much? Let\u2019s find out.<\/p>\n Brian Armstrong \u2019s ResearchHub And NewLimit<\/p>\n So, Brian Armstrong will \u201cfund scientific research and companies like NewLimit + ResearchHub.\u201d What do those companies stand for, though? Well, ResearchHub<\/a> is \u201ca\u00a0 tool for the open publication and discussion of scientific research. Researchhub\u2019s users are rewarded with ResearchCoin (RSC) for publishing, reviewing, criticizing, and collaborating in the open.\u201d Interesting, an open scientific think tank with a cryptocurrency component.<\/p>\n For its part, ResearchCoin is both a utility token and a governance token. \u201cRSC gives users the ability to create bounties, tip other users, and gain voting rights within community decision making.\u201d This is the project\u2019s Twitter account<\/a>.<\/p>\n On the other hand, NewLimit is<\/a> \u201ctreating age-related disease to extend human healthspan\u201d and \u201cdeveloping epigenetic reprogramming medicines to treat diseases with large unmet needs.\u201d This is their Twitter account<\/a>. This one is in the life extension business, but the specifics are harder to grasp. Luckily, NewLimit offers a blog post<\/a> authored by Brian Armstrong himself in which he goes deep into the topic at hand:<\/p>\n \u201cNewLimit will start by deeply interrogating epigenetic drivers of aging and developing products that can regenerate tissues to treat specific patient populations. We will start by using primary human cells and reference species to develop machine learning models on what chromatin features change with age, which of these changes may be causal to the aging process, and finally develop therapies that could slow, halt, or reverse this process.\u201d<\/p>\n In that same blog post, we learn that the company was \u201cco-founded by Brian Armstrong and Blake Byers with the mission of extending human healthspan.\u201d And thus, we figure out that Coinbase CEO is the money behind both companies.<\/p>\n\n The relationship between COIN and USDT on Bittrex | Source: COIN\/USDT on TradingView.com<\/a> To launch his new endeavors in the right way, Brian Armstrong went to the popular Tim Ferriss podcast<\/a>. In it, he presented the reasoning behind his investments. \u201cI think we\u2019re kind of in this golden age of software where fortunes are being made. But some of that wealth, even in crypto, is now being directed into hard science, hard science problems, atoms, not bits,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n As to what the company actually does, Armstrong explained that they\u2019re trying to \u201cbuild a platform that tests a lot of different transcription factors with different cell types and uses machine learning to do that in a virtuous cycle.\u201d He also explained the entrepreneurial spirit behind the whole ordeal.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re trying to help humans live much longer, not just a little bit longer. But I think in any good moonshot company, you want to have intermediate milestones along the way. And so the intermediate milestones are more like, could we get a specific type of cell to be rejuvenated and be younger?\u201d<\/p>\n Thanks to @tferris<\/a> who I recently spoke with about these interests: https:\/\/t.co\/0EUdzICfVV<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Brian Armstrong (@brian_armstrong) October 15, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n\n About ResearchHub, the Coinbase CEO confirmed that it is \u201canother company that I funded and tried to help get off the ground.\u201d What does this one do?\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re trying to make it easy for people to sort through all of the millions of papers that are published every year to what are the most impactful.
