Crypto winter? Coinbase, BlockFi, Celsius announce big layoffs

Just four months ago, Coinbase reportedly spent $14 million on a Super Bowl ad. Now it's laying off 18% of its workforce — roughly 1,100 people.

    Nothing to see here.

    Its just the end of the cycle. The big players have already exited the market months ago. The small retail investors will lose their shirts after buying at the top and when the market stabilizes in a few months, the cycle will start again.

    if you are in it for the long run then the price right now doesn't matter. If you were in it to make a quick buck(nothing wrong with that) then better luck next time.

    I have been through a few cycles already and I always give the same advice, if you don't need the money now, then don't sell. If you are investing for future you aka cashing out in 5 to 10 years, then don't sell.

    Look at 2008, people who sold underwater ended up regretting it. Keep your head down, stay away from the "news"( not sure if anything qualifies as such in 2022) and stop checking the price every 5 minutes and you ll be ok.

    Good luck out there!

      I completely agree. This is the time to get in. Smart money has sold and is averaging back in.

      I hope everyone still has some cash.

    The end is nigh! Time to buy!

    Lots of calamity in crypto:

    There are so many complicating factors on what's happening.

    Regardless, I'm curious what kind of lasting impact this will have on crypto's reputation. Is this damaging public trust? For many, of course, this is a great time to buy. Curious how IHers are navigating this "crypto winter."

    It is important to note that the crypto winter may be temporary and the crypto market may recover from it. I would recommend investing in cryptocurrencies with an awareness of the risks and taking into account your financial capabilities.

    Wow, I just finished reading the guest post blog on coinbase and I must say, it was truly exceptional! The author's insights and writing style were both captivating and informative. I genuinely appreciate the effort that went into creating such a valuable piece of content.

    Crypto winter has hit the industry hard, with Coinbase, BlockFi, and Celsius announcing big layoffs.

    This is a sign that the crypto market is in a period of contraction, and companies are having to make tough decisions to stay afloat. Coinbase has announced a reduction of 30% of its workforce, BlockFi has announced cuts of 30%, and Celsius is reportedly letting go of 40-50% of its staff. This is a significant shift in the industry, and a sign that companies are having to adjust to the current market conditions. Although it is sad to see these layoffs, it is a necessary step in order to ensure the long-term health of the industry.

    When choosing a cryptocurrency exchange, there are a few things to consider:

    Security: Make sure the exchange has a good track record for keeping funds and personal information safe. Look for exchanges that offer two-factor authentication and store the majority of their funds in cold storage.

    Fees: Compare the fees charged by different exchanges for buying and selling cryptocurrencies. Some exchanges charge higher fees than others, so it's important to find one that fits your budget.

    Payment methods: Consider which payment methods the exchange accepts. Some exchanges accept only wire transfers or credit/debit cards, while others accept a wider range of payment methods.

    User-friendly interface: A user-friendly platform can make it easier for you to navigate and trade cryptocurrencies.

    Geographic restrictions: Some exchanges are available only in certain countries, so make sure the exchange you choose is available in your country.

    Based on this, some of the most popular and reputable cryptocurrency exchanges include:

    Binance: This exchange is known for its low fees, wide range of trading pairs, and user-friendly interface.

    Coinbase: This exchange is one of the most popular in the US and EU, it's easy to use, and offers a wide range of payment methods.

    Cryptex: This exchange is known for its security and low fees. It also offers a wide range of trading pairs.(https://cryptex.net/en/cash-to-bitcoin )

    Bitstamp: This exchange is based in Luxembourg and offers a wide range of payment methods and low fees.

    Gemini: This exchange is based in New York and is known for its security and user-friendly interface.

    It's important to note that these are just a few examples and there are many other reputable exchanges available. It is always important to research the exchanges and read reviews before signing up and depositing any funds.

    I was so impatient to carry out the necessary research, but I really wanted to jump on the crypto trading and investment buzz. Unfortunately for me, I invested 90,700 USD worth of bitcoin with a fraudulent company. I was happy to watch my account grow to 340,575 USD within a couple of weeks. But I didn't realize I was dealing with a scam company, until I tried to make an attempt to withdraw. I made a withdrawal request, and noticed that my account was suddenly blocked for no apparent reason. I tried contacting customer support, but all to no avail. I needed my money back at all costs, because I could not afford to let it go. So I tried all possible means to make sure I recovered my scammed bitcoin. I did a lot of online search for help, and tried to see if there were other people who had any similar experience. I stumbled upon a cryptocurrency forum were a couple of people mentioned that they had been through the same process but were able to recover their lost cryptocurrency, funds with the help of Donaldcyberlord(at) G mail. So I filed a report and he was able to help me get back all my lost funds within two weeks. I feel indebted to him. Apart from trying to express my gratitude to them once again using this medium, I will recommend anyone who wants to recover scammed bitcoin, stolen cryptocurrency, funds lost to binary options forex, investment and any other form of online scam, reach out to Donaldcyberlord @gmail.

    Agreed, lots of complicating factors on this decline. One thing seems clear to me though.

    Crypto will struggle to be taken "seriously" until it's not so heavily dependent on the price of Bitcoin. At a macro level, every single coin's fluctuations correspond so strongly with Bitcoin's price. And when Bitcoin drops as it has, you see companies like BlockFi, Celsius, and more meltdown and further hurt crypto's reputation.

    I understand that is because BTC is the most valuable, the biggest, the first, primarily used to buy altcoins, etc. However, there is not a single stock that functions in close to a similar way. In that way, I could see the "general public" souring on crypto for a while.

    I say this as a Bitcoin investor who's been backing it since 2020 and have bought this dip.
