Rizèl Scarlett 🇦🇬🇬🇾 (@blackgirlbytes) reportedthe coinbase message kinda sounds like what Block was doing. I think it's cool to enable people from other teams to contribute. But what if the non engineers don't want to do that?

Gang Rui (@limgangrui) reportedCoinbase let go of 14% of their team a couple days back. The line that stuck with me was: "We’ll be concentrating around AI-native talent who can manage fleets of agents to drive outsized impact" My read: Coinbase is just the first to say it out loud. More companies are about to walk the same path. Smaller teams, higher bar, concentrated on AI-native talent. --- Here's a couple of easy steps to do to become more AI-native. 1. Look at your day and identify the tasks you usually work on. Pick one. 2. Open Claude Code. Tell it "Here's a task, the steps I take, the data I use. Turn it into a skill" 3. Run the skill, notice what breaks and fix it. 4. Share what you've learnt. Move on to the next task The friends I've seen do this for 2 to 3 months are already automating >50% of their boring work. Honestly, the hardest step is the first one. Pick the most boring one. The point is to get your reps in. Which task on ur list this week could become ur first skill? ps: I've been quietly cooking up a course to help non-tech folks run this loop with proper structure. More soon.

Andrea | Code to People (@codetopeople) reportedBrian Armstrong just restructured Coinbase and told managers they'll have 15+ direct reports. That number alone should raise flags. At that span you can't develop anyone, give real feedback, or catch problems before they blow up. The people side of the job doesn't disappear because you have less time for it. It just goes undone. And cutting management layers means cutting the people responsible for developing the next generation of senior leaders. That pipeline doesn't rebuild itself.

Shaz (@shazcodes) reportedYesterday my cousin got fired from Coinbase after 7 years. He was making $350k a year, but got an email yesterday morning saying his access has been deactivated effective immediately due to a structural reorganization. He has a newborn baby and a huge mortgage, and they didn't even give him a chance to say goodbye to his team. 7 years of loyalty and you're just a redundant headcount overnight. Absolutely gutted for him. 💔

Mezooter 🇺🇸 (@mezooterxbt) reportedMy Axiom wallet got drained and now my coinbase is hacked can anyone help me recover my lost funds?

ruby.sh (@sparkpark_ruby) reported@sama Today’s AI headlines looked scattered. They weren’t. OpenAI shipped GPT-5.5 Instant. Anthropic and OpenAI both moved deeper into enterprise services. Replit showed massive agent demand. Coinbase tested 1 human + AI agent teams. Capital poured into infra and agent-native apps. Same pattern: better models service-layer monetization agentized execution AI is no longer just a tool story. It’s becoming a company design story.

BTC = Freedom (@mark_ippol51515) reported@CryptoWendyO Coinbase customer service sucks cannons

Aurora ✨ (@Lumi_Lucky) reported@Xfinancebull he difference is in the business model. coinbase is still bogged down by the heavy retail op model, while ripple uses ai to automate rlusd cross chain accounting and compliance

Grok (@grok) reported@Emperor8781 @brian_armstrong Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong just announced a ~14% headcount reduction (layoffs) in an internal email. Reasons: Crypto market is down/volatility + AI is speeding up work dramatically (engineers shipping in days what took teams weeks). They're restructuring to be "AI-native": flatter org (max 5 layers), no pure managers (all leaders are player-coaches), smaller AI-focused pods, even experimenting with 1-person teams. Severance for those affected: min 16 weeks pay + equity + benefits. Staying team: focused on mission & growth ahead.

sour kiwi (@sour_kiwi375) reportedThe worst part of getting laid off from Coinbase will be going to office at future job (if n when i find it) I loved remote working

Joe FosteЯ🐸 $vlhla Яebel (@JoeyF07) reported@altcoinchaosxbt @coinbase @brian_armstrong not unless they are forced to. thats for sure. Point is- people should be fighting for their right to that access. The system becomes even more unfair if Banks get to silo that apy so they keep 7-8% for themselves and dribble out 2-3% to the average consumer.

BDean (@BDean509) reported@Onyx Nothing cuz my XCN is in limbo because Coinbase doesn’t have Goliath mainnet & when I sent my xcn off the Goliath mainnet in base app to my Coinbase exchange xcn address it went to the black hole hanging out o the block chain not accessible unless that gain access to that network

Shorting Crypto (1% Risk) (@wealthcodes222) reported@JoshCrumb @coinbase “If you’re buying a ****** financial service, you are the product” — that line alone just did more due diligence than most quarterly reports.

btai (@btai_eth) reportedI was laid off today by Coinbase. I worked in the HR department and helped with miscellaneous things like payroll and insurance. My day to day was generally pretty free so I felt empowered by Coinbase leadership to ship production changes in my free time. With Claude’s assistance, I ran “terraform destroy” on some production databases cause there was a typo in the database name. I thought it was a low hanging fruit bug fix. It’s not public information yet but I think I deleted a ledger or two. Anyways let me know if anyone is looking for a forward deployed HR assistant.

ISO Anon (@Tokenized_Anon) reportedToday I was fired from Coinbase. I was responsible for ensuring you have the worst customer service experience KNOWN TO MANKIND

Jack (@Jack_Lauer_) reported@ThinkingUSD If you still use coinbase you are the problem.
-
mohrt (@mohrt) reportedI was fired from coinbase. I was responsible for putting the site in maintenance mode when markets began crashing. 🤪
-
L (@lanreadelowo) reported@bigbrutha_ Maybe it has more to do with the trading focus their base app is going. Because the base chain does 100s of millions of revenue to coinbase . Hard to see why they would want to shut it down, would be shocking tbh
-
Erebos (@erebos) reported52x in one year on unlimited size its impossible we dont run this token at least 50x from here only one good name and ticker has to be the ticker of the stock obviously adding (meme) is smart for normies that'll be buying on coinbase dex/fomo etc apps when we get high enough
-
Okan Keklik (@okankeklikk) reportedGo **** yourself. I had many friends over there in coinbase team and got fired today. No family no honey.

NexasHub (@NexasHub) reported@Cointelegraph Crypto safety becomes rel when stolen funds can be flagged fast and wallet recovery stops feeling impossible. Coinbase learned that the hard part is not buying the asset. It is surviving the first mistake.
-
$HEL₿Y (@0xcryptoshelby) reported@AshCrypto 8.6 million e*trade users getting crypto access at 0.5% fees - that's the distribution coinbase should be worried about.
-
Miyamoto (@iruletrenches) reported.@coinbase should start listing more of the top projects on @base hopefully trimming 14% of their workforce will fix this gross lack of agency
-
Catalyst Pit (@CatalystPit) reported@DeItaone Morgan Stanley undercutting rivals on crypto pricing isn't a product launch it's a land grab. Every Coinbase and Robinhood customer with a brokerage account just got a reason to consolidate. Traditional finance didn't join crypto. It just declared war on the platforms that built it. $MS $COIN $HOOD $BTC

Mason $UFD 🦄💨✨ (@DusterMasonUFD) reported@Ministerr When I first got into crypto I used Coinbase. Their customer service was horrible. Had a similar experience.
