🚨 As a Kidnapping Survivor, I Can Tell You This: These Bandits Can Be Caught Easily
After confirming their location, the government can easily use night vision to track and attack them at night.
From my experience as a kidnapping survivor, these bandits are not as difficult to catch as people think. Most of them take hard drugs at night and sleep heavily until the next morning.
If not for the chains they used to lock us up, I would have escaped much earlier.
The government can deal with this problem if they truly want to. They know what they're doing, sha. 💔
At this point, na only God fit save person. 😭
@Bond_not_james Maybe u right, revolution is violent but ur take that those guys are not paid to come disrupt peaceful protest is very wrong.
Nothing would come easy for the change we want, and maybe one day the educated ones would realize we have to agberorize the change we want.
@OInnocxnt U were trying so hard to win point, that u couldn't read to understand he was showing how u cud invest that much instead of being taxed in it.
@Urchilla01 Correct babe, beautiful, elegant, eloquent, intellectually sound and well mannered.
Obidients represent and reflect their leader everywhere.
This is an email I sent earlier today to all employees at Coinbase:
Team,
Today I’ve made the difficult decision to reduce the size of Coinbase by ~14%. I want to walk you through why we're doing this now, what it means for those affected, and how this positions us for the future.
Why now
Two forces are converging at the same time. We need to be front footed to respond to both.
First, the market. Coinbase is well-capitalized, has diversified revenue streams, and is well-positioned to weather any storm. Crypto is also on the verge of the next wave of adoption, with stablecoins, prediction markets, tokenization, and more taking off. However, our business is still volatile from quarter to quarter. While we've managed through that cyclicality many times before and come out stronger on the other side, we’re currently in a down market and need to adjust our cost structure now so that we emerge from this period leaner, faster, and more efficient for our next phase of growth.
Second, AI is changing how we work. Over the past year, I’ve watched engineers use AI to ship in days what used to take a team weeks. Non-technical teams are now shipping production code and many of our workflows are being automated. The pace of what's possible with a small, focused team has changed dramatically, and it's accelerating every day.
All of this has led us to an inflection point, not just for Coinbase, but for every company. The biggest risk now is not taking action. We are adjusting early and deliberately to rebuild Coinbase to be lean, fast, and AI-native. We need to return to the speed and focus of our startup founding, with AI at our core.
What this means
To get there, we are not just reducing headcount and cutting costs, we’re fundamentally changing how we operate: rebuilding Coinbase as an intelligence, with humans around the edge aligning it. What does this mean in practice?
- Fewer layers, faster decisions: We are flattening our org structure to 5 layers max below CEO/COO. Layers slow things down and create coordination tax. The future is small, high context teams that can move quickly. Leaders will own much more, with as many as 15+ direct reports. Fewer layers also means a leaner cost structure that is built to perform through all market cycles.
- No pure managers: Every leader at Coinbase must also be a strong and active individual contributor. Managers should be like player-coaches, getting their hands dirty alongside their teams.
- AI-native pods: We’ll be concentrating around AI-native talent who can manage fleets of agents to drive outsized impact. We’ll also be experimenting with reduced pod sizes, including “one person teams” with engineers, designers, and product managers all in one role.
In short: AI is bringing a profound shift in how companies operate, and we’re reshaping Coinbase to lead in this new era. This is a new way of working, and we need to leverage AI across every facet of our jobs.
To those who are affected
I know there are real people behind these decisions — talented colleagues who have poured themselves into this company and our mission. To those of you who will be leaving: thank you. You’ve helped build Coinbase into what it is today, and I am sincerely grateful for everything you've done.
All impacted team members will receive an email to their personal account in the next hour with more information, and an invitation to meet with an HRBP and a senior leader in your organization. Coinbase system access has been removed today. I know this feels sudden and harsh, but it is the only responsible choice given our duty to protect customer information.
To those affected, we will be providing a comprehensive package to support you through this transition. US employees will receive a minimum of 16 weeks base pay (plus 2 weeks per year worked), their next equity vest, and 6 months of COBRA. Employees on a work visa will get extra transition support. Those outside of the US will receive similar support, based on local factors and subject to any consultation requirements.
Coinbase prides itself on talent density. Our employees are among the most talented people in the world, and I have no doubt that your skills and experience will be highly sought after as you pursue your next chapters.
How we move forward
To the team that is staying, I know this is a difficult day. We’re saying goodbye to colleagues and friends you've been in the trenches with. But here’s what I want you to know as we move forward together:
Over the past 13 years, we have weathered four crypto winters, gone public, and built the most trusted platform in our industry. We’ve made it this far by making hard decisions and by always staying focused on our mission. This time will be no different – nothing has changed about the long term outlook of our company or industry. And most importantly, our mission has never been more important for the world. Increasing economic freedom requires a new financial system, and we’re building it.
The Coinbase that emerges from this will be more capable than ever to achieve our mission.

How Airbnb was actually created?
Brian and Joe were living in San Francisco, almost broke and struggling to pay rent.
Right when things were getting tight, a big conference hit the city and every hotel was fully booked.
So they did something simple:
They put 3 air mattresses in their apartment and rented them out for $80/night.
They called it “Air Bed and Breakfast.”
In one week, they made $1,000.
Rent covered.
That’s when it clicked this could be bigger.
They built a simple website and started pitching investors.
Most of them laughed.
“No one’s going to let strangers stay in their homes.”
But one investor gave them $20.000 and said:
“Go knock on doors.”
So they went to New York.
Met hosts in person.
Took professional photos of their homes.
Then the flywheel started spinning:
More bookings → more trust
More listings → more supply
More supply → more demand
Without realizing it, they did one thing perfectly:
They didn’t wait for perfection.
They launched with what they had. (MVP mindset)
What started with 3 air mattresses…
turned into a platform with millions of listings.
Sometimes big ideas don’t start with changing the world they start with just trying to make rent.
@General_Somto How are we sure these officers did not kill him in order not to reveal more details.
This must be investigated they definitely have something they want to hide...
Ohhh I got the short Ard 26 or so, but took profit @ 17 and 16, obviously It was be too early to take profit,it later went down to 0.5,
Trading is about feeling contented with the results, WIN or LOSS
