Consider the volatility of hackathon ROI for Coinbase. Ofcourse they want to strengthen the ecosystem of its company and good for them! Their goals are aligned with the general bitcoin ecosystem. Discovery and adoption of repeatable, scalable model of generating value with hackathons would be absolutely great for ecosystem, while benefiting Coinbase. Other companies would copy and imagine how hundreds of hackathons are held by many startups, all benefitting bitcoin ecosystem. I assure you that this is a good thing in the long run, even if may be considered anti-bitcoin in spirit by some.
