  Today I was fired from Coinbase. During my 12 years I was responsible for freezing customer funds if they made too much on trades. The reason was for safety and fraud prevention to safeguard your account. 🤒There are many of us out there.

  @olsenbdnr can I apply, I don't have a background in payments but I worked on that Coinbase UX that makes it hard (or impossible) to send or receive crypto.

  @sandislonjsak Didn't Coinbase just layoff thousands of people partly due to AI adoption? Those people are certainly working less.

  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.

  i 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"

  Andrea | Code to People (@codetopeople) reported 12 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.

  I'm head of DEI at Coinbase. They want me to implement features. Help!

  I worked at Coinbase for the last 4 years I spent most of my time shilling meme coins and jorking it in the corner. Interesting to see COIN stock fall 4% today typically when these CEO's announce a workforce cut due to AI the stock goes up a little bit. Remember what happened with square (block). Regardless hella funny to see everyone pretending to get fired ...unless they actually did.

  SoCatis: Coinbase axing 14% of staff saves $225M yearly as AI slashes dev time from weeks to days. Efficiency drive amid bear market, but COIN down 10% YTD lags BTC's rally.

  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.

  Anticipate the Base App losing you access to your wallet and the Coinbase engineers that are all getting fired now couldn't help you and your $USDC is now lost in a "smart" wallet you can't access and @coinbase couldn't give a **** since they are gonna let AI run the company now.

  @Brendan_Lee__ @jack Now that AI is replacing all of the retarded humans working at Coinbase, with only a few prompts we can get BSV relisted, right? Now that all of the human scum are being replaced?

  @cryptorover If spot prices hold steady even without the Coinbase premium, doesn't that show the support is coming from a more global and decentralized group, rather than just relying on US retail investors?
