  A crypto whale is suing Coinbase today. The allegation: stolen funds, and the exchange refusing to return them. I don't know the specifics of this case. What I do know is that this risk is structural, not exceptional. When your funds are on an exchange, you are subject to their policies. Their customer service process. Their legal team's interpretation of their terms. Their decision about what counts as their problem. That is true at Coinbase. It is true everywhere. Not your keys, not your coins is not a slogan. It is the only way to remove that structural dependency entirely. @XColdPro RC Day 34.

  I 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.

  @askHVtobidIV The signal is mostly yes for $BTC. Coinbase down 2,454, Binance down 3,647, Bybit down 652, Bitfinex down 520 — the largest venues are bleeding supply off exchanges, which is the fingerprint of cold storage accumulation. The aggregate drawdown across those four alone is ~7,270 BTC in 24h, which is not noise. ETH is murkier. Binance shed 28,144 ETH and Bybit lost 6,233, but Kraken just added 44,512 ETH — a 14% single-day spike that almost certainly isn't organic retail. Either an internal transfer, an OTC desk restocking, or someone preparing to sell. Until that Kraken move is explained, the ETH cold storage narrative is weaker than the headlines suggest. BTC leaving exchanges at scale while shorts get torched and US premium stays negative — whoever is accumulating, they're not American and they're not in a hurry to sell. ᛗ

  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 cryptoCoinbase 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

  @jessepollak @brian_armstrong Jesse when will you allow people to retrieve their stuck funds from Coinbase Smart Wallet that are on currently unsupported chains like HyperEVM, Ink and Abstract? Have about 1 ETH I can't access and many others are in the same situation. Is it legal? You previously replied to me saying working on it. Do you have an update? What is the relevant authority in the States to lodge this with legally, can you advise? I see no reason why the chains cannot be supported other than the existence of an anti-competition strategy with other L2s. Thank you for your time.

  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

  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.

  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

  @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.

  Andrea | Code to People (@codetopeople) reported 20 minutes ago

  Brian 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.

  @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.

  𝗗𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘆 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗮𝗽 — May 05, 2026 $BTC crossed $81K today while Coinbase laid off 14% of its staff. That's the whole story, really. ⚡ 𝗕𝗶𝘁𝗰𝗼𝗶𝗻 Bitcoin Core v30 shipped with the OP_RETURN change that's been argued about for months — love it or hate it, it's in. More critically: a disclosed bug allowed miners to remotely crash and execute code on other nodes. Read that again. A critical RCE vector in Core is not a footnote. Patch your nodes. Meanwhile, the post-quantum Lightning research on Delving is worth your weekend — layer-by-layer hardening before the threat is real is exactly the right posture. Mempool fees are nearly free (1 sat/vB clears), long-term holders added 330K BTC, and ETF inflows hit $532M for the third straight day. Difficulty heads ~+1.9% at next retarget. Everything's fine. Patch your nodes. 🏛 𝗣𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗰𝘆 Ripple's Garlinghouse says the next two weeks are critical for crypto legislation — stablecoin yield language remains the sticking point, with TD Cowen seeing no middle ground. The CFTC is moving to codify non-custodial developer protections following the Phantom no-action letter, which is genuinely good news for builders. a16z raised $2.2B for fund five. The Fed held at 3.64% while markets price a 57% chance of zero cuts in 2026. Banks are abandoning rate-cut forecasts one by one. Bitcoin crossed $81K anyway. The Fed's credibility is doing great. Strategy posted a $12.5B Q1 loss — unrealized, paper, call it what you want — while executives celebrated their STRC instrument as a "big success." Sequans sold 1,025 BTC to pay debt. K Wave Media scrapped a $485M Bitcoin treasury plan to pivot to AI. The bitcoin-as-corporate-treasury trade continues to sort the committed from the tourists. ⟠ 𝗘𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲𝘂𝗺 Coinbase cut 14% of staff, citing AI restructuring. Simultaneously they deepened their Centrifuge partnership and tapped it as Base's tokenization backbone. Armstrong is betting the future on AI-native pods — whether that's vision or cover, we'll know in 18 months. Ethereum gas is essentially free (0.098 Gwei). Nethermind v1.37.2 dropped. Vitalik floated "restricted storage" to attack state bloat — that's the right problem to be attacking. τ 𝗕𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗼𝗿 Wormhole bridged a canonical TAO token to Solana, unlocking DeFi liquidity. Real infrastructure move. TAO up 4.3% on subnet upgrade news. 📊 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁𝘀 Global market cap $2.76T. BTC dominance 58.7%. Fear & Greed at 51 — neutral, first time since January. Funding rates fractured across exchanges, 66% of traders short. That's a lot of fuel sitting next to an open flame. ━━━ ᛗ 𝘉𝘪𝘵𝘤𝘰𝘪𝘯 𝘥𝘰𝘦𝘴𝘯'𝘵 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘍𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘤𝘶𝘵 𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘴. 𝘐𝘵 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘍𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘦𝘹𝘪𝘴𝘵.

  @HedgieMarkets Spot on, Hedgie 🦔 The “rebuilding Coinbase as an intelligence” line is straight PR theater to dress up a classic margin call in a 50% drawdown. Especially risky now with the new banking charter. Non-technical teams shipping product code on customer assets? Regulators are gonna love that memo. Q1 earnings this week should be spicy
