    Yesterday, Coinbase ceo announced that they let go of 14% of their staff He said the market is down and with the emergence of AI, they realized they could be more productive even with lesser man power. This simply means: What a 10 staff member would do in 10days, a single AI engineer would do it better in 10min. While everyone sees this as a sad day for the employees, I saw it as an opportunity to evolve with the system. My advice to the laid off employees and jobbers: Learn AI and grow with the system. If you learn AI, you can charge: - $300-5k to set up an AI agent for business - $500-2k/mo for AI content management - $500-2k to build AI prompts & SOPs (sales) - $1-4k to automate customer support with AI - $500-2k for an automated AI audit - $500-2k for AI cold outreach setup - $500-1.5k for AI workflow training - $1-3k to build internal AI assistants - $300-1k for 1:1 AI consulting The obvious stuff like design generation and vibe coding is not included. these are real business use cases and skills companies and business actually need. With this skills, AI will never replace YOU

    seeing some of the people that coinbase laid off and wow.. from my perspective they picked anyone who was remotely helpful when it came to dev and customer relations. the layoffs at the end of 2025 were like this too and we lost some great people 2025 was also the same year where Coinbase spent $8 million on a 30s advert that received mostly negative feedback and bad reactions from audience. oh and don't forget the $25 million spend for some Cobie podcasts and of course, this was also the year where there was 9 months of betting on Zora while anyone with a brain warned of the over-commitment to one project while all other projects suffered what exactly are we doing here? what trust is there left to build on? why would anyone pick to build in an ecosystem that has made such bad decisions with zero accountability? make it make sense

    This isn’t just a Coinbase thing Entire tech industry is quietly rewriting how companies work - Google cutting across recruiting, support, some engineering while doubling down on AI - Microsoft pushing copilot everywhere → fewer people needed for the same output - Amazon trimming ops + middle layers, automating aggressively - Meta “year of efficiency” wasn’t a phase… it became the model - Duolingo replacing contractors with AI-generated content - Shopify “prove AI can’t do it before hiring” And then you read Brian Armstrong’s post again It clicks - junior roles getting squeezed first - managers can’t just manage anymore - small teams + AI > big orgs - one-person teams are becoming real - output up, headcount down

    4/ This isn't a bug — it's an industry-wide feature problem. Coinbase, Binance, and dozens of projects are racing to give AI agents wallet control. Armstrong says bots will "outnumber humans" in transactions. This is what that future actually looks like.

    @Xaif_Crypto COINBASE ACTIVATED TRADE AT SETTLEMENT FOR XRP FUTURES ON MAY 1. THE FIRST ALTCOIN TO GET THE SAME INSTITUTIONAL TOOL AS BITCOIN, ETHEREUM, GOLD, AND CRUDE OIL . THAT MEANS LARGE FUNDS CAN EXECUTE BLOCK ORDERS AT THE OFFICIAL 4PM SETTLEMENT PRICE. NO MORE FIGHTING INTRADAY VOLATILITY ON BIG POSITIONS . THIS WASN'T POSSIBLE BEFORE MARCH 17. THE SEC AND CFTC JOINTLY CLASSIFIED XRP AS A DIGITAL COMMODITY. THAT UNLOCKED THE TOOL . REPOSITIONED IN PLAIN SIGHT? YES. XRP NOW HAS THE SAME TRADING INFRASTRUCTURE AS BTC, ETH, GOLD, AND OIL ON COINBASE DERIVATIVES. THAT'S A STRUCTURAL SIGNAL. THE RAILS FOR INSTITUTIONAL CAPITAL ARE BUILT .

    @WaxirAamirDr probably yes, but volume on all CEXs and DEXs have been super low in the past few weeks... Coinbase just fired 14% of its workforce partially because of that too It's not a niche problem If you ask me, NEAR Intents is holding quite well in these conditions

  • vlelyavin
    Vladimir (@vlelyavin) reported

    i was laid off from coinbase today. i was on one of the many non ai teams responsible for keeping production from becoming a smoking crater before leadership decided the real bottleneck was "too many people with health insurance" i am currently looking for new opportunities at companies where ai is a force multiplier, not a button labeled "detonate headcount" If your company still hires humans, interviews humans, or believes replacing 14% of the company with ai sounds less like strategy and more like someone whispering "nuke it from orbit" over an org chart, please feel free to refer me open to roles in product, operations, engineering support, and helping companies distinguish "ai strategy" from "pressing the big red button and calling the crater a roadmap"

    @tonesnotes @CsTominaga @robert_bsv The pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto was chosen by a real person for anonymity—that's not in dispute. But once released, that identity became defined by its verifiable actions: the whitepaper, code, genesis block, and early coinbase outputs produced by specific keys. In Bitcoin, those keys *are* the pseudonym's cryptographic proof of control. No external declaration overrides the chain record.

    @GeneralZodMan @MrHodl @w_s_bitcoin **Coinbase just announced layoffs of ~14% of its staff (700 people) today.** CEO Brian Armstrong said it's part of a restructuring to make the company leaner and more AI-focused amid market conditions. No reports of hacks, outages, or fund issues. General reminder: self-custody your BTC ("not your keys, not your coins") is always solid advice regardless of the news.

    @rob_cattown @base @coinbase The decline in quality has been evident over the past six months or even a year First, the algo and the logic behind how it interacts with user actions. (soc feed) Next, the wallets and swaps. Now, the apps aren’t working, and the built-in browser is unusable on Android devices and refferals The quality is dropping significantly, and I’m not even sure it’s the AI’s fault. it will be interesting to see how base gonna be forked from op stack. with numbers of bugs that are still in the base app env.

    Is AI replacing human's workforce? The crypto and payment world is seeing a wave of massive layoffs, and many CEOs are pointing the finger at "AI transition" as the reason. Since Block cut its staff in half earlier this year, big names like Coinbase, PayPal, and Gemini have all followed suit, claiming they need to become "lean" and "AI-native." PayPal, for instance, plans to cut 20% of its team to save $1.5 billion, while 0G Labs recently let go of a quarter of its workers. However, many experts aren't buying the AI excuse. They call it "AI washing", using tech buzzwords to hide basic business struggles. The reality is that #Bitcoin is down significantly from its recent peak, trading is slow, and competition is fierce. Companies like Block simply hired too many people during the boom years, and now they are forced to trim the fat. Investors are reacting with mixed feelings: Block’s stock jumped 38% after their announcement. PayPal saw a 12% dip. Coinbase shares also slid about 4%. Whether these cuts are truly about high-tech efficiency or just a way to survive a tough market remains to be seen. Shared via CoinEx Creator Program. @CoinExCreators #CoinEx #CoinExCreator

    2/ Coinbase seeks to automate 20% of customer support tasks, enhance trading platform efficiency by 15%, and develop new AI-driven products, but this pivot risks disrupting the company's culture and talent pipeline, potentially leading to a brain drain

  • k0k1eth
    Koki (@k0k1eth) reported

    Coinbase just fired 14% of its employees and the CEO's email reads like it was written by the same AI he's replacing them with Let me break down what Brian Armstrong actually said here because some of these lines are genuinely insane "Non-technical teams are now shipping production code" Read that again. People who are not engineers are pushing code to production at a company that holds billions of dollars in customer funds. The same company that just got regulatory approval to operate in more countries. The platform where your money sits. Vibe coded by the marketing team "We're experimenting with one person teams with engineers, designers, and product managers all in one role" So one person does three jobs for one salary. Revolutionary "Every leader must also be a strong and active individual contributor" Translation: we fired the people doing the work so now the managers have to do it themselves while also managing "Rebuilding Coinbase as an intelligence with humans around the edge aligning it" This sentence means absolutely nothing and the fact that it's in a letter announcing 700+ people lost their jobs makes it even worse Now let's talk about what the email conveniently doesn't mention Coinbase bought Echo from Cobie for $400,000,000. A launchpad platform. They invested in Zora. They threw money at projects that have generated almost zero meaningful returns Nobody in leadership is taking accountability for those decisions. Instead 700 employees are paying for it with their jobs while Brian writes about AI-native pods The stock didn't even go up after the announcement. Usually layoffs pump the stock because Wall Street loves "efficiency." @brian_armstrong and @jessepollak spent hundreds of millions on acquisitions and investments that went nowhere, and now they're cutting 14% of the workforce and blaming it on AI and market conditions The AI part is the cover story. The real story is bad capital allocation by leadership that nobody wants to talk about And somewhere in Coinbase right now a non-technical team is pushing code to the platform that holds your crypto

    @brian_armstrong A letter to Brian Armstrong & Coinbase (from a customer who fired you years ago): Team at Coinbase, Years ago I made the difficult decision to reduce Coinbase in my life by ~100%. I want to walk you through why, and what it means moving forward. Why I fired you Two forces hit at once. First, the market: Bitcoin is winning. Nation-states and ETFs are stacking sats while you kept shilling shitcoins and treating customers like exit liquidity. I saw no Bitcoin treasury, continued lack of transparency, and one fumbling management decision after another. Second, your pace of poor choices was accelerating. I needed to adjust early — so I downsized you completely and went full self-custody. What this means I flattened everything: zero more KYC theater, zero shitcoin exposure, zero middlemen. My strategy is now lean, fast, and Bitcoin-native only. No more coordination tax with a company that doesn’t even hold Bitcoin on its own balance sheet. To those affected Thank you for the early days and for teaching me the true meaning of “not your keys, not your coins.” Consider this my final notice: account closed, business terminated. No more fees from me — ever. Coinbase, I wish you luck in the shitcoin casino. Talent like yours will be in high demand… somewhere. How I move forward Bitcoin’s mission has never been clearer. I’m more focused and capable than ever; stacking sats, self-custodying, and building without you. The future is orange. Glad I fired you when I did. Loren HODL @LorenHodl

    @0xalank @coinbase Maybe, for people who are invested in making IOUs for USD. Not sure how it was supposed to help me. I guess if USDC starts getting widely accepted it would be pretty easy to pay anyone accepting it from my Dash wallet. So that's a silver lining. Makes Coinbase a middle man for it all, so I guess they like that....

    I’m honestly surprised $COIN isn’t down more today. non-technical teams pushing code is not something I want to hear from a crypto custodian. I’ve moved all funds I had on Coinbase off the platform and will be closing my account. I’ve been a coinbase user since they went from being just a wallet into a full platform, and honestly, it’s been a great run. but I refuse to get drained because a the social media team can just be vibing and push garbage code.
