I possess neither the analytical skills nor the required stomach for doing this. But it's 45 days into Q2 and crypto is falling apart. If retail traders disappeared from Robinhood, I can only imagine it will be worse in crypto, given that there are fewer traders and some coins, in certain cases, suffered total losses, which hasn't happened in (many, or any) stocks.
As a greedy but fearful person, I will rejoice in the fact that I declined to interview with them for massive compensation (~900k) which was mostly paid out in stock. That would have been now about ~370k.
I think most of their revenue comes from trading fees. I just don't know if trade volume is going to be way up on Coinbase in the future, especially with new exchanges popping up all over.
Just seems like there's so much competition in the crypto exchange area. How to differentiate? Seems like a race to the bottom fee wise is where we're headed. Especially with the rise of defi exchanges sucking up a lot of the power user market.
The also lost 800M despite being one of most expensive trading exchange.
Recently the focused a lot on gambling having listed a lot if shitcoin to earn commission from retail traders.
Now retail trader have lost all their money and they have no more customers.
I once bought a thousand bucks of BTC on Coinbase, but the fees and taxes and stuff were absurd. I remember calculating that BTC would have to go up like 25% in value before I could sell for a profit given the fees. That was the last time I ever used Coinbase. I can't imagine that many more people are gonna fall for that trick when the chances that BTC goes up 25% are getting lower by the minute.
