An email from Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong, found in the Epstein Papers, is quite interesting. Written in February 2016, during the Bitcoin block size debate, this email discusses how Coinbase worked behind the scenes to ensure the network wasn't hampered by "early idealists" and anticipates a 2MB hard fork within the next month or two. If I remember correctly, this was during the Bitcoin Classic era.
Apparently, the hard fork never materialized, and Coinbase and other entities (SegWit2x) abandoned their final attempt in the fall of 2017. It's widely believed that the hard fork was driven by the interests of companies like Coinbase, a significant reason for its lack of sufficient support.
