- pgz 4y agoWas wondering the same, looks quite suspicious
- sillysaurusx 4y agoProbably yes, and it’s also the right call. There have been many recent articles about the economy, especially with regards to tech (and doubly so for crypto). Coinbase being a YC co doesn’t mean that layoffs are automatically worth a front page slot for more than a couple hours. It’s boring news, too. It gratifies no curiosity.
- QuadrupleA 4y agoI personally find the whole thing fascinating and a relevant intersection of tech and society, perfectly fitting here. A type of distributed database software quickly gains mass frenzy, people bidding up the price of the database entries, leading to a cambrian explosion of scams, fraud, hype, environmental destruction, ransomware and terrorism, and now undergoing what seems to be a catastrophic (and well-deserved IMHO) collapse.
- sbierwagen 4y agoSubmissions with lots of comments get deranked by the anti-flamewar algorithm to push them off the front page. Don't worry, you'll be seeing plenty more stories about crypto businesses doing major layoffs over the next month.
