Victor Goossens’ Post

Today we announced our Coinbase partnership. This is a relationship between two pioneers in industries that I deeply believe in.  Crypto has the potential to distribute influence and move control away from corporations into the hands of all of us based on undeniable trust created by blockchain technology. It will play a huge role in creating a more trusting world. There is going to be a world in the future where we can have simple trust based on code that will allow us to eventually take for granted how this technology has shifted trust from corporations to a more transparent system.                     This conviction in blockchain is not so dissimilar from my innate belief in gaming and esports, which is its own generational and cultural change. While I have the utmost confidence in both industries, both also come with plenty of challenges. As a part of any exciting young industry, it can unfortunately attract many opportunistic, or sometimes even malicious, participants. We all need to look a little bit deeper however, as none of that changes the underlying value of what we are building and the good that many companies are doing.  This partnership is founded on a shared philosophy of creating something stable and long term, and I believe that both Coinbase and Team Liquid will guide our respective industries in the right direction. This is just the beginning.
