Okay, another 700 people out at Coinbase. We keep hearing about the 'crypto winter' and market downturns, but this feels like more than just a cycle. Is the business model fundamentally flawed, or is it just the volatility of the industry catching up? As someone who's been watching Coinbase for a while, it's worrying to see this level of cuts. It makes you question the stability and future growth prospects, not just for Coinbase but for the entire crypto space. Are we heading for a prolonged downturn, or are these just necessary (albeit painful) adjustments? Curious to hear what others think – are you still bullish on crypto exchanges, or is it time to be more cautious?

It's definitely concerning to see such significant layoffs, especially after previous rounds. While crypto is known for its volatility, this feels like a more systemic issue for exchanges. Perhaps the revenue streams tied to trading volume aren't sustainable in a prolonged downturn. They might need to diversify beyond just facilitating trades, or the cost structure is just too high for the current market conditions. It makes you wonder how many more cuts are coming and what it signals for the broader industry's health.
