Brain Armstrong and Fred Ehrsam founded Coinbase in June 2012 and scaled it to become the largest crypto exchange in the U.S. by traded volume.
Cuban, the owner of the NBA’s Daily Mavericks, fired a series of cryptocurrency-related tweets ranging from decentralized finance (DeFi), cryptocurrency transaction costs, and supply and demand.
Cuban, also a media personality who hosts the Shark Tank, engaged with several figures within the industry.
He mentioned that he is a long-term holder of cryptocurrencies when he interacted with Gokhshtein Media founder David Gokhshtein.
I don’t think people realize I try to test and use all this stuff and have for years. I still have crypto from the early days of coinbase. I’ve never sold anything

He then turned his attention to Gemini co-founder Tyler Winklevoss and the two went back and forth about supply and demand and debasement of fiat currencies.
The investor argued that bitcoin gets its value from supply and demand. Winklevoss said the principle of supply and demand still applies when finding the value of “land, a Picasso, or the Dallas Mavericks franchise.”
Cuban acknowledged that the cost of the transaction with BTC/ETH is very high. However, this cost is significantly reduced when one owns crypto. He concluded that the cost of owning a personal wallet is almost zero compared to a bank or other host.
Risks Abound
Cuban touched on DeFi, saying that it is as risky as all derivatives.“Just remember with DeFi, as with all derivatives, the RISK NEVER LEAVES THE SYSTEM. One segment collapses, they all face the risk of collapse,” he said.
Bitcoin has been on a tear lately with prices surpassing $40K after the December 2020 bull run extended into the new year.
However, institutional buying has cooled down. The pullback has seen the digital asset trade under $35K.
He warned that individuals should not take debt that they can’t pay back in the name of investing in cryptocurrencies. Cuban called such people fools and said there is a high chance that they will lose everything.
Cuban compared cryptocurrency trading to the internet stock bubble. He believes that bitcoin, ether, and a few others will be like Amazon, eBay, and Priceline that survived the dot.com bubble.
He highlighted that fortunes will be made and lost along the way.
Cryptocurrencies are very volatile and their wild price swings have prompted financial regulators such as the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) to ban the sale of crypto derivatives to retail investors.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
How does the success guarantee work?
If our approach to the market doesn’t beat the overall crypto market during your subscription, we’ll give you a full refund of your membership fee. No questions asked. For quarterly and monthly subscribers this is applicable once your subscription runs for 6 consecutive months.
