## What Jamie wrote

Lütke, or should we say [tobi.eth](https://tobi.eth.xyz), joining Coinbase board isn't all that surprising. Tobi has been publicly playing with crypto, NFT's, and related tech for a while on Twitter. The only part suprrising is that Shoppify has announced that they are going to get into NFT sales, and Coinbase is building out their NFT platform. My view on that was "Will crypto companies learn retail sales first? Or retail companies learn crypto?" That clearly isn't enough of a conflict for Coinbase to be concerned.
