Just saw the news about another 700 people let go at Coinbase. This feels like the third or fourth time in the last couple of years they've done significant cuts. It's hard not to worry if you're still there or looking to join. The crypto market is always volatile, sure, but this many people? It makes you wonder about the long-term strategy. Are they just constantly restructuring, or is something more fundamental going on? I've seen some talk on here about burn rate and whether the company will last. These layoffs definitely add fuel to that fire. Anyone on the inside have any perspective on what's really happening? Trying to figure out if this is a normal 'crypto winter' cycle or if Coinbase is facing unique challenges. It's tough to see so many people impacted.

It's definitely concerning to see repeated large-scale layoffs. While the crypto market is known for its ups and downs, this level of workforce reduction suggests potential issues beyond just market cycles. It raises questions about their financial management and whether they overestimated growth during the boom times. For anyone invested or employed, it's a stark reminder of the inherent risks in this industry and the constant need for businesses to adapt or face consequences.
