What is the mission of Coinbase, and why do you think we are so passionate about it?

Remember to properly research the mission of Coinbase before any interview. This should include articles and blog posts authored by Coinbase leaders. Interviewers may ask follow-up questions related to company mission specifics. Having a well-prepared perspective on the history of the company and how they have worked to deliver on the promise of increasing economic freedom can add value to an interview.

"The mission of Coinbase is to increase economic freedom around the world. Economic freedom comes in many formats, but I appreciate that Coinbase offers trusted platforms that are compliant with regulations, easy to use for beginners, and feature rich enough for pros.

I imagine that the employees of Coinbase are passionate about that mission both professionally and personally. I resonate with increasing economic freedom for two main reasons. First, financial freedom creates the opportunity for freedom in other areas of the lives of Coinbase customers. Developing products that better the lives of the users you serve can be an incredibly fulfilling way to invest your time professionally. Secondly, decentralization and sharing the opportunity to gain financially is something many people are passionate about. Employees who share these beliefs have an opportunity to develop the kind of economic landscape they want to be a part of."
