The unofficial group renamed itself “Base 太狗了中文社区,” suggesting frustration after Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong’s Superman-style profile change was read by users as a signal about Base.
Base’s largest Chinese-language community, which is described as unofficial, has changed its name to “Base 太狗了中文社区” in what appears to be a backlash against Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong. The move followed Armstrong changing his profile picture to a Superman image and hinting that he was about to do something significant, a gesture that parts of the community interpreted as related to Base. The renaming suggests some members believed the signal was misleading, highlighting how closely crypto communities often track executives’ social media activity for clues about product, ecosystem, or token-related developments.
