    I have no idea what you are trying to say here.

      Maybe you are too clever to understand?

    Where does it say how much the acquisition cost?

  Coinbase needs acquisitions. Right now, it's a cash cow charging 1% fees on each buy and sell, but with Circle coming up with their 0% fees, that would change. There's no customer loyalty here, just the cheapest option. If they want to remain competitive in the next 3-5 years, they will need more products and services. Their present revenues are great, but I am not sure that's sustainable based solely on the current business model.

  Acquires? It's more like hiring the two guys and buying the source code.
