  @DelCrxpto @coinbase You are less likely to win by listening to your larping ***. King of receiving bags from early **** coins and then dumping on the same people you say to buy it. You’re a joke.

  @nicrypto tillis and alsobrooks dropped the compromise text last week, which is what unlocked the markup date. it bans yield on idle stablecoin balances but allows reward programs tied to activity, addressing the main reason coinbase pulled support back in january

  AI x crypto finally found a use case that doesnt make me want to walk into the sea machines paying machines AWS just launched Bedrock AgentCore Payments with Coinbase and Stripe and the real story is not “agents can buy stuff now” cute the real story is the web is getting a payment layer for non-human users agent needs an API call? pay needs premium data? pay needs an MCP server? pay needs another agent to handle one cursed little subtask? pay all inside the task loop request resource get HTTP 402 read payment terms pay in USDC send proof continue thats very different from the human internet humans subscribe agents meter humans browse agents call humans compare pricing pages for 17 minutes open six tabs then forget their password agents just hit the paid endpoint 900 times if you let them and this is not just theoretical hand-waving anymore AWS is plugging x402 into AgentCore Coinbase says agents can discover services, make micropayments and keep moving AgentCore Gateway has access to Coinbase’s x402 Bazaar MCP server 10,000+ pay-per-use endpoints aka not just “agent has wallet” more like agent has wallet agent has marketplace agent has budget agent has receipts agent has a very dangerous little shopping habit beautiful slightly cursed and suddenly stablecoins look useful in the least cringe way possible not for buying coffee please stop trying to make coffee the main character but for tiny, fast, programmable payments between services $0.01 for an API call $0.003 for a data snippet $0.000001 for some weird metered thing no human would ever approve manually pay per crawl pay per memory write pay per result pay another agent to do one annoying subtask thats where cards look stupid and stablecoins start looking weirdly practical Circle is already pushing nanopayments Stripe has x402 machine payment docs Coinbase plugged x402 into AWS AgentCore Google is pushing AP2 for authorized agent payments the pieces are lining up but once the agent has a wallet, the problem changes bad answer = annoying bad tool call = maybe annoying bad payment flow = your little silicon goblin just invented procurement jazz so the real unlock is not give agents money its give agents money with a leash budgets limits receipts audit trails wallet permissions proof of why the spend happened and proof that the spend actually helped because autonomous agents were cute when they only burned tokens now they can burn money too stablecoins may finally get the job they were born for not coffee not sandwiches not another “future of payments” demo nobody uses paying other machines while humans politely pretend they are still supervising

  @Cliffinkent Yes - this points out that tradfi banks are much more regulated than defi companies. I agree that most tradfi banks have redundancy for an entire region going down. Coinbase claims to have not been prepared for a single AZ having a problem.

  Whales Money (@WhalesMoneyX) reported 17 minutes ago

  The outage began around 9 a.m. Singapore time and lasted until 4 p.m. While Coinbase is headquartered in New York, the technical failure had a global impact. All transactions were suspended during this window, rounding off a challenging week for the major exchange.

  @100xlifeguard you get real. p2p + bank account and optionally a company in a low tax crypto-friendly country is more than enough. i onboarded exactly once in 2020 and off-ramped hundreds of times since. needing coinbase is a skill issue

  $AORA doesn't just launch. It arrives. May 14th • 00:00 UTC via @AerodromeFi Ignition live on OKX and Coinbase Base app from day one. No listing fees. No shortcuts. Just distribution. First project on Ignition to deposit 15% of total supply and hold a full 4 weeks. That's not confidence-that's conviction. GSR and Amber Group on market making. The liquidity is structural. Fully transparent. Blockworks B1 Filing is live on website. This is what a real launch looks like. May 14th. Don't miss it @AtlasOraFi

  This is especially frustrating for Coinbase One members. Many of us pay hundreds of dollars per year specifically for premium benefits, including lower or zero trading fees, enhanced rewards, priority support, and account protection. A core expectation of any paid premium service on a trading platform is reliable uptime, proper customer service, and the ability to act when markets require it.

  A reminder for every engineer building mission-crit apps: Regional redundancy isn’t optional. A single point of failure will find you eventually. One AWS zone went down. Failures spread. Trading stopped. Design for failure before failure designs your incident report. #coinbase

  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.

  Node count 0n @quipnetwork keeps climbing. The vaults are live across three chains. The team keeps shipping updates while the rest of the industry is still debating committee reports and fork timelines. Quantum readiness isn't a distant problem anymore. Coinbase said prepare now. Solana picked Falcon, Bitcoin is still fighting. Quip already built the solution. Open source, auditable, community driven. No drama, just code. The butterfly is out.

  @brian_armstrong @rwitoff Honestly, Coinbase is the absolute worst. They have had so many problems from back then and now. you would think they would improve over the years. I’ve had a closed account since 2020 for no reason. Customer support is pretty much nonexistent. As an American, I switched to @krakenfx and never looked back. So much of a better on/off ramp for cryptos.

  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.

  Brian Armstrong's Coinbase layoff letter is the first explicit corporate confirmation that AI is replacing knowledge workers at scale. He didn't hide it. He made it the structural reason. The structural reality. Coinbase reduced headcount by 14 percent and rebuilt the org around three principles. Maximum 5 layers below the CEO. No pure managers (every leader must ship code). AI-native pods including "one person teams" handling engineer, designer, and PM roles in single hires. The labor displacement math. If a single engineer can ship in days what previously took a team weeks, the team isn't 5x more productive. It's been replaced. Coinbase is publicly admitting the multiplier is real and acting on it before it becomes obvious. The competitive context. Other large tech companies have done quiet AI-driven layoffs without admitting the cause. Armstrong is the first major CEO to write down "AI changed how we work" as the explicit justification. Other CEOs will follow once the tone is set. The structural lesson on AI labor disruption. 2020-2024 saw incremental productivity gains from AI tools. 2025-2026 is producing structural cost reductions that flow directly to operating margin. Displaced workers don't reabsorb. They compete with everyone else's displaced workers. The bull case for Coinbase shareholders. Lower fixed costs through the next crypto cycle mean leverage to revenue growth without proportional opex growth. If crypto adoption accelerates, Coinbase emerges with higher operating leverage. The bear case. Cutting too deep mid-cycle creates execution risk. Crypto cycles have a way of demanding capacity at the moment companies have removed it. Other tech CEOs are watching this letter. The next 12 months will tell whether Coinbase is early or just first.

  i’m pretty neutral on $crcl into earnings, because of coinbase earnings $coin had a bad quarter and the stock still didn’t crater. transaction revenue wasnt good, but it bounced the next day because the market cared more about usdc holding up coinbase did $305m in stablecoin revenue, held $19b of avg usdc in its products, and said it captures ~50% of usdc economics. usdc supply also hit ~$80b in march circle is basically the cleaner usdc bet. so tomorrow isn’t really about whether crypto trading was good. it’s whether usdc supply, reserve income, and distribution costs look healthy street already expects a step down from q4: $715m to $737m revenue, $0.15 to $0.18 eps. coinbase missing and then recovering makes me think a lot of the bad crypto tape was already priced in. for crcl, the bigger swing is usdc health and the clarity act markup next week

  Coinbase CEO says stablecoin transactions could grow 100x as AI agents begin to outnumber humans. That sounds extreme… until you realize AI agents transact very differently than people. Humans make dozens of payments per week. Agents can make thousands per day: - API access - compute resources - data usage - subscriptions - micro-settlements between agents And they need: - instant settlement - programmable money - ultra-low fees - 24/7 execution That’s exactly what stablecoins provide. The biggest users of stablecoins may not be humans. They may be machines.

  ripple:native glitch from 2021 that google says didn’t happen. I have a screenshot of my coinbase that had 34 XRP in it. One day it’ll be a high price and Kimes, DAI and some others will be legendary. It won’t be 22m a piece but it’ll be high enough to where those dudes will look like prophets of profits.
