  William J Davis. (@ADHD_7899) reported 2 minutes ago

  CEO Matthew Prince's statement is one of the most noteworthy sentences in the tech industry this week: "AI and AI agents are now a core part of our working team, and the way Cloudflare works has fundamentally changed." This follows exactly the same logical structure as Meta, just on a smaller scale. Earlier this week, Coinbase announced layoffs of 14% (approximately 700 people), with the reason similarly citing AI hiring. Upwork announced layoffs of nearly one-quarter of its workforce, conducting a large-scale restructuring. The nature of this wave of layoffs is fundamentally different from past cyclical layoffs. In the past, corporate layoffs were typically accompanied by declining revenue and compressed profits; the current trigger for layoffs is often earnings beats, but simultaneously announcing large-scale AI capex. Layoffs are not because the company is doing poorly, but because the capital allocation priority order has already changed. --- **Investment Summary** The core logic of this round of market movement can be described with a simple capital flow chain: hyperscalers are releasing human capital costs, converting them into GPU and infrastructure procurement, creating enormous demand for Nvidia, memory manufacturers, storage manufacturers, and optical component manufacturers, driving scarcity repricing across the entire hardware supply chain. Nvidia is the largest beneficiary in this chain, with its market cap increasing by over $1 trillion from the March 30 low, currently trading at 43x P/E and 65% operating margin. But the market is already looking beyond Nvidia for the next bottleneck. The valuation recovery of memory, storage, and foundry is still in a relatively early stage. If Intel's Apple foundry agreement is ultimately finalized, the significance for Intel's foundry business goes far beyond the financial figures themselves — it would be the first top-tier consumer electronics brand to officially endorse Intel's foundry capability, changing the market's narrative about the long-term viability of the advanced foundry space (though the immediate competitive impact on TSMC is of course negligible). Akamai's +27% today came from Anthropic's $1.8 billion, seven-year cloud infrastructure contract. The scramble by AI companies for computing resources has already spread to the tier of what was previously considered purely traditional CDN operators. This is also one of the most illustrative cases of the depth to which AI infrastructure investment is spreading.

  Coinbase outage recap: - Room overheats in one AWS AZ - No multi-AZ redundancy on the exchange - No automated region failover - Hours of downtime I'm sure an engineer proposed all of this and was told "we're creating solutions for problems that don't exist." Yeah aight

  @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

  Coinbase Assets Boosted Portfolio on @base @coinbase and @glider__ are running a limited time rewards campaign where users can earn up to 20% APR by holding the Coinbase Assets Boosted Portfolio on Base Think of this portfolio like a crypto basket that already contains multiple assets such as cbBTC cbETH cbXRP cbMEGA SOL Instead of buying and managing each coin separately you simply deposit funds into one portfolio and Glider automatically handles the balancing for you. Steps to join - Open the Coinbase Assets Boosted Portfolio on Glider - Deposit at least $100 - Hold the portfolio during the campaign period - Rewards will automatically build over time What 20% APR actually means APR is the estimated yearly reward rate. This campaign only runs from May 8 to June 7, so you won’t get a full 20% profit in one month. You’ll earn a smaller amount based on - how much you deposit, - how long you keep funds there, - and the final reward rate during the campaign. Beginners should know - The portfolio is automatically rebalanced every hour so beginners do not need active trading knowledge - You can withdraw anytime there is no lock period - Rewards only apply to this specific portfolio - Maximum rewards are calculated on balances up to $30K per user Since these are crypto assets prices can still move up or down so returns are not guaranteed remember that

  Caeris Lab (@caerislab) reported 21 minutes ago

  Solid news hook but worth flagging: the May 14 markup is about the CLARITY Act and stablecoin rewards specifically, not Bitcoin. The fight is over whether "activity-based" incentives are interest in disguise - banks say yes, crypto says no. Also it's not a done deal. Coinbase already said they can't support the bill as written (DeFi + CFTC concerns), and Dems aren't on board yet. If the strip amendment passes on the 14th, the whole compromise collapses. Watch that first contested vote - that's the real signal

  Man, f*** @coinbase Marcus does not buy $btc Does not want to hold $btc Just happened to log in this morning to send $usdc to a friend and noticed all of holdings were converted to bitcoin somehow This is not okay because it restarts the clock on capital gains.

  @mbacarella Of course they’re related. I’m struggling to understand your point though. My point is that Coinbase could’ve made a redundant system while maintaining low latency. But they didn’t in this case. Your point seems to be that redundancy is hard. So does that mean you just accept any downtime you get? Or you stay up for days trying to route around it when it’s down? How much data was lost when the servers literally went down from overheating in the middle of trading?

  @AltcoinDaily Coinbase needs to get their crap together. The Base app is TERRIBLE! If Coinbase doesn't fix this soon, they are going to miss out on the most significant period of crypto adoption. Invest in your app @brian_armstrong !!! Make it intuitive and beautiful.

  It's no secret starting this week we'll start to see CEXs post their support for Terra tokens again. We saw the htx post, the Binance support, the coinbase hints with wluna, me and Z making moves, and wallets adding support. We're just getting started, you know that right? #lunc #terraclassic #lunaclassic

  @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.

  Coinbase was down for hours, the reason? A room overheating at AWS datacenter!

  @DelCrxpto @coinbase @grok what is the issue here ?

  Frank Rundatz (@FrankRundatz) reported 46 minutes ago

  @Zigadeebong Don’t need a load balancer. Coinbase can have all their services is use-az1 along with their colocated HFT clients. In the event of an outage, Coinbase can switch to use-az2 along with their colocated HFT clients. Abracadabra, no added latency with no load balancer! Takes some design. And of course not every HFT partner will be willing/able to create a redundant system like this. Downtime is their fault then, not Coinbase’s.

  Coinbase blames AWS for their 4-hour crypto trading outage. Always an external scapegoat when $COIN users can't trade. Centralized exchanges are just cloud-dependent middlemen. This exposes the core fragility of trusting them. We need true decentralization.

  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.

  coinbase fires 14% of its workforce. brian armstrong sends an internal memo about the AI inflection point and brags that non-technical teams are now shipping production code. three days later, the entire trading engine goes down for 7 hours.
