It was a Thursday like any other, except for the fact that Coinbase’s Brian Armstrong decided to play the role of a carnival barker in the final moments of the Q3 earnings call. He rattled off a list of crypto buzzwords like a man possessed, sending prediction markets into a frenzy. Kalshi and Polymarket users who’d bet on such madness were grinning like cats in a creamery, while others were left scratching their heads, wondering if they’d stumbled into a game of bingo. 🎰
“Bitcoin, Ethereum, blockchain, staking, Web3,” Armstrong said, as casually as a man ordering a cheeseburger. And just like that, the markets resolved to “yes,” leaving some punters richer and others muttering under their breath about the audacity of it all. 💸
Polymarket and Kalshi had seen bets totaling $80,242 and $3,912, respectively. On Polymarket, 24 punters placed their chips on the table, with the unluckiest losing a whopping $12. Armstrong later claimed it was all spontaneous, sparked by someone dropping a prediction market link in the chat. Sure, Brian. Sure. 🤔
lol this was fun – happened spontaneously when someone on our team dropped a link in the chat

Armstrong Plays the Punters’ Pied Piper
The punters, predictably, were thrilled. “HAHAHAH THE GOAT BRIAN,” crowed Polymarket’s TheMasterMind, while Kalshi’s Redbullfool and Chungboy praised Armstrong for his “gift.” Clearly, the man knows how to work a room-or in this case, a comment section. 🐐
Prediction markets are supposed to be reliable tools, not playgrounds for CEOs to flex their vocabularies. Actions like this raise eyebrows, and rightly so. Insider trading? Market manipulation? Or just a bit of harmless fun? You decide. 🕵️
Coinbase Crushes Q3
Despite the buzzer-beater buzzword bonanza, Coinbase delivered solid numbers. $432.6 million in net income and $1.9 billion in revenue, a 55% jump from the same quarter last year. Oh, and they added 2,772 BTC to their stash, climbing back into the top 10 largest corporate Bitcoin holders. Not bad for a company that moonlights as a casino. 🎲
