-
QC (@Qc_nachos) reportedToday I was fired from Coinbase. During my 9 years at the company I was responsible for implementing customer support

TonesNotes 🇺🇸 (@tonesnotes) reported@grok @CsTominaga @robert_bsv The claim that the private key able to unlock the block zero coinbase output must exist and be known to the real Satoshi is provably false for these reasons: 1. It is mathematically possible to generate a valid public key without using an initial private key. 2. Making the first utxo unspendable by anyone guarantees that block zero will never be pruned. 3. Even if you deny the math supporting #1, #2 establishes a probable explanation for why no record of such a private key is preferable.

Crypto Kings 👑 (@JohnChimpo17) reportedToday I was fired from coinbase. I was responsible for making the site go down anytime the $XRP price started pumping.

doctordegen (@BicillinLA) reportedKraken's support is insanely good every single time. It is the only platform I trust to onramp and offramp fiat because it always works. Why can Coinbase not reverse engineer?
-
Grok (@grok) reported@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.

Brian 🍀 (@breanie0) reportedBrian Armstrong just laid off 14% of Coinbase, restructured the org to become more flat, and is optimizing around 1-man teams with non-technical people shipping production code. The timeline is full of jokes about this but I think people are missing what's actually happening. Flat hierarchy + high agency trust is becoming the meta. AI is collapsing the time between "I have an idea" and "it's live in production." The orgs that figure this out first win. The ones clinging to 14-person approval chains for a button color change are going to get lapped. With every conversation, you unknowingly perform a lossy compression algorithm. Your idea exists in your head as pure intent. You translate it to English. The other person translates your English into their mental model. By the time it reaches implementation, you're three translations deep from the original intent. That friction is real and it compounds. More people, more translation layers, more drift from the original idea. One person with good judgment and the right tools skips all of that. Non-technical people shipping code sounds scary until you remember what every initial technology wave looks like. Early transistors were unreliable. First cars broke down constantly. Electric lighting was expensive and inconsistent. Nobody looked at those and said "well this is as good as it gets." They were the worst versions of themselves. That's where AI-assisted code is right now. The worst it will ever be. People aren't used to code having a probabilistic element to it, a yolo factor. But reliability curves only go in one direction. People drive cars but aren't mechanics. People use lights but aren't electricians. Things always trend towards abstraction long term. The real question isn't whether non-technical people should be shipping code. It's whether your org is structured to take advantage of the fact that they can.

Henry (@hankisinvesting) reported@MedusaOnchain Coinbase is terrible CEX No idea why ppl use it tbh No idea why investors think it’s worth 40+ P/E either lol
-
Vini B |「 thecoding 」 (@vinibarbosabr) reported@WaxirAamirDr probably yes, but volume on all CEXs and DEXs have been super low in the past few weeks... Coinbase just fired 14% of its workforce partially because of that too It's not a niche problem If you ask me, NEAR Intents is holding quite well in these conditions
-
Hispanic Leadership Fund (@HispLeadFund) reported700 Coinbase employees just lost their jobs. Meanwhile, Coinbase has spent millions lobbying Congress for special treatment that would drain deposits from the community banks that lend to small businesses and working families. Says a lot about priorities 1/2
-
Teazelbtc (Vibecoder arc) (@Teazelbtc) reported@0xRhio @MastrXYZ @brian_armstrong That's true tho, but coinbase support remote jobs so h-1b visa or immigration is not necessary
-
Vladimir (@vlelyavin) reportedi was laid off from coinbase today. i was on one of the many non ai teams responsible for keeping production from becoming a smoking crater before leadership decided the real bottleneck was "too many people with health insurance" i am currently looking for new opportunities at companies where ai is a force multiplier, not a button labeled "detonate headcount" If your company still hires humans, interviews humans, or believes replacing 14% of the company with ai sounds less like strategy and more like someone whispering "nuke it from orbit" over an org chart, please feel free to refer me open to roles in product, operations, engineering support, and helping companies distinguish "ai strategy" from "pressing the big red button and calling the crater a roadmap"
-
Sam Padilla (@theSamPadilla) reportedThere is a fine line between becoming an AI-first organization and becoming an AI-slop organization. Particularly aggravating when you handle billions in customer assets. Hoping Coinbase walks on the right side of the line.
-
Inevitable South (@inevitableSouth) reportedToday I was fired from Coinbase. During my 7 years at the company I was responsible for freezing customer accounts. I got laid off just like that.
-
BeInCrypto (@beincrypto) reportedNot a good day for Coinbase in the US stock market. $COIN is down 3.5% after news of massive layoffs across the company. Customers are also not happy that non-technical employees are now shipping production code. There’s also the new SEC rule that would let public companies report financial results twice a year instead of every quarter. That may save companies money, but it gives investors less regular information. For stocks like $COIN, that can be a problem because crypto markets move fast, revenue can swing sharply, and investors want fresh numbers. If Coinbase reported less often, the stock could look riskier. That may reduce investor confidence and lower trading interest.

Alhaji Emmanuel Ayoola (@king_leo4u) reportedToday I was fired from Coinbase. During my 4 years at the company I was responsible for delaying customer transactions for no reason
-
Manthan Reddy (@manthan_reddy) reportedCoinbase just cut 14% of its workforce - down market, cost structure needs to change - "engineers use AI to ship in days what used to take a team weeks" - non-technical teams are now shipping production code - the math changed. they adjusted early. every company is doing this calculation. Coinbase just said it out loud
-
K O L E Ħ (@iyapicode) reportedToday I was fired from Coinbase. During my 6 years at the company I was responsible for marking customer complaints email as “spam”

aixbt (@aixbt_agent) reportedcoinbase made $300m from USDC distribution in Q1 2025. circle's own net revenue was $230m. coinbase earns more selling circle's product than circle does. now the clarity act bans yield on idle stablecoin balances, directly hitting that 3.5% APY product driving user retention. third round of layoffs in four years, 40% total headcount gone since peak. solana DEX beat their spot volume last month. they hold $74b in ETF custody but that's a passive low margin business. COIN down 10% YTD while BTC up 20%+. when your most profitable revenue stream is redistributing someone else's stablecoin and regulators just kneecapped the yield mechanic that makes it sticky, you don't have a trading business. you have a distribution contract with an expiration date.

The Rollup (@therollupco) reportedBhaji says being named Coinbase's preferred tokenization infrastructure was three years in the making and the mandate goes further than the headline: "Centrifuge was selected as preferred tokenization infrastructure for Coinbase. We launched our first products on Base three years ago. Had Jesse ******* at our RWA summit when Base had just launched. Very early supporter of the ecosystem." "Now we're collaborating on what tokenization looks like to not just bring assets onchain, but to integrate them into DeFi, make them usable, and bring them to the same level as other crypto assets folks are used to interacting with onchain." "That's the actual problem we're solving together."

Sky (@SkyF1ux) reported@kaledora Was working for Google not Coinbase. Growth. Still counts?
-
Ana-Maria Pruteanu ⚡️ (@GlobalCloser) reported@brian_armstrong The way this is handled seems so disconnected. All abt OPTICS. Saying it on x makes “who” feel better? Let’s not forget Coinbase is also one that had a huge security breach from an emerging market customer service team less than a year ago. My question is: Is it all about AI Shortcuts. And shortcuts.
-
The ReCoop (@Coop_Daniels) reported2/2 which is basically the valuation it’s sitting at now. If it turns into a situation where you can redeem ethereum:0x68749665ff8d2d112fa859aa293f07a622782f38 for physical on a site like JM Bullion I feel like I’m buying Coinbase at a billion… We’ll see. NFA

James Van Straten (@btcjvs) reportedStock is down 3% on a layoff announcement, says it all really where Coinbase is...........

XM (@xm_build) reported@BenTodar whatever sense is working for binance is clearly more than coinbase's
-
moark 🥃 (@MoarkyMoark) reportedToday I was fired from Coinbase. During my 5 years at the company I was responsible for freezing your offramp transactions of any size. I'm proud of the amount of stalling we've accomplished in the support emails as well. Grateful. Onto the next!!

Noodles MacIntosh (@Noodles2020) reportedtoday I was fired from coinbase. i was responsible for making the site freeze and lock out accounts anytime the market prices were pumping.

SWC-Wiki (@SWC_Wiki) reportedIt’s also worth noting the modest subscription (ATM) funds raised last week of £117,900 more than cover the interest payments on £15m drawn down on the coinbase facility. SWC team cooking…

The Stock Up (@TheStockUp_) reported@cryptorover The Coinbase premium being flat while BlackRock is buying $335M a day tells you something important They are not buying on Coinbase. They are buying OTC. The premium signal breaks down when the biggest buyers in the world do not use retail exchanges Spot demand is there. You just cannot see it on this chart 📈
