Coinbase’s sponsorship of the US Army’s 250-year anniversary parade, which coincided with Donald Trump’s 79th birthday, has gone down terribly with the crypto community.

The parade, which was held to commemorate the U.S. Army’s 250th birthday, took place amid the country-wide ‘No Kings’ protests. The protestors voiced their opposition to President Donald Trump’s immigration policy and mass deportations, calling the parade, which coincided with Trump’s 79th birthday, the behavior of a dictator.
