  Imagine running a financial service without multi-AZ in 2026. Do not use Coinbase lol

  Seth Rosen (@TavCannaLLC) reported 6 minutes ago

  The recent Coinbase service outage (May 7-8, 2026) lasted approximately 7 hours and the claim is this outage was caused by overheating at an Amazon Web Services (AWS) data center in Northern Virginia. During this period, many users, myself included, were unable to execute trades, complete transfers, or even reliably view account balances.

  I worked at AWS in 2013, and this was basic architectural decisions which can be fixed by spending more money. The problem is Coinbase is just a badly run company at this stage, they spend billions on staff and billions on acquisitions, make a loss and can’t do basic AWS architecture and running dedicated fibre and creating fast mirrored databases. Or even dedicated infrastructure. These are excuses for a $millions revenue company, not a $billions company. $COIN was once my favourite stock, and now I think it’s absolutely not. Engineers need to focus on building product and shipping, not just spending all day on policy. Harsh, but you know it’s true.

  @DelCrxpto @coinbase I had my bad experience with @coinbase, being over charged for crypto 4 hour delay on transaction. High withdrawal fees, crypto (ETH) just disappeared from wallet, never received my $FLR airdrop and customer support sucks ***

  @brian_armstrong I was getting comfortable with the CEX idea again, but with @coinbase currently down and I’m not able to access funds…..DEX all the way.

  @blknoiz06 what do you think about coinbase going down recently?

  @saguieig The way Binance Pay works is that they can access services through the Binance marketplace, which allows them to use Uber and other ride-hailing (this is on my model) directly with less fees than using the actual app. However, even if Amazon doesn't use Binance pay because of the scandals, I would think Amazon would not want to miss out on an opportunity, and thus goes to other brands like Coinbase that are actively trying to grow out their Coinbase Business service, especially in LATAM. Let me get back to you though on Amazon though.

  @idoccor Many people had it yes and actually Coinbase is understating how much of a failure it was on AWS’s part. Not only did critical services fail but their health checks didn’t report them as down, causing many failovers to not function as expected.

  📉 Coinbase Q1 2026 results just dropped. $394M net loss. Revenue down 31% YoY. Transaction revenue down 40%. The reason? Traders moved on-chain. Even Coinbase said it: "Everything is moving onchain." But here's what on-chain traders actually need: ❌ Not a CEX with $150 withdrawal fees ❌ Not a DEX aggregator that misses non-EVM chains ❌ Not 5 different apps for 5 different chains ✅ One app. CEX + DEX. 200+ chains. 500+ exchanges. ✅ Best rates. Optional privacy. MEV protected. The future is on-chain. RocketX is built for it.💪

  @cgtwts Coinbase went down because chillers in an AWS datacenter overheated. Brian Armstrong walked through the redundancy assumptions that didn't survive the actual physics. CG dropped a clip captioned "the technical team that got fired 2 days ago." The structural read is funnier than the joke and worse than Armstrong is letting on. The receipts. Coinbase architected systems for redundancy across AWS Availability Zones. Implicit assumption: any single AZ can fail and traffic reroutes seamlessly. Actual failure: a physical cooling collapse in one AZ took down hardware faster than rerouting logic could redistribute load. The numbers. AWS operates ~36 active Availability Zones across 12 US regions. Cooling failures are rare but not zero. When they happen, they cascade through hardware in 4-8 hours rather than failing gracefully. Coinbase processes $4-7B in daily transaction volume. An hour of downtime is $170-290M in unprocessed flow plus reputational risk. The structural read. Cloud architecture documentation talks about resilience as if it's a software-only problem. The Coinbase outage is a reminder that infrastructure runs on physics. Pumps fail. Chillers leak. Power supplies die. Most "cloud-native" companies have never run their own physical infrastructure. They lack the reflexes to anticipate failures their cloud provider hides. The honest read. Coinbase didn't fail. The chillers failed. Coinbase's redundancy assumptions failed to model what happens when hardware fails faster than software can reroute. The technical team didn't get fired. The chillers did.

  PayPal just cut 20% of staff. Coinbase cut 14%. Both said the same thing: "We're moving to smaller, AI-augmented teams." This isn't a future problem. This is happening right now. The people who learn AI tools today won't be the ones replaced tomorrow. What are you doing about it?

  A simple way to understand XRP price action: Most people watch news, ETFs, institutions, and OTC deals. But the price you see on apps like Coinbase, Binance, Uphold, Kraken, etc. is mostly shaped by activity on public exchanges. That means price moves when buyers and sellers meet on those exchanges. If retail traders leave the market, volume drops. Lower volume means fewer active buyers. When fewer people are buying, it becomes easier for selling pressure to push the price down. So even if long-term institutional interest is growing, the short-term market price can still fall if exchange demand is weak. That does not automatically mean XRP is “dead.” It can simply mean retail participation is low, trading volume is down, and sellers have more control for now. ETFs, institutional custody, and OTC activity may matter long term, but they do not always create immediate buying pressure on public exchanges. That’s why XRP can have strong long-term narratives while still looking weak in the short term. Simple version: Price = what buyers and sellers are doing right now on exchanges. Adoption = what may build value over time. Those two things are connected, but they are not always the same thing.
