Coinbase spent 5 years building a life raft away from Bitcoin and still managed to lose $359M

- Coinbase spent five years building a life raft away from Bitcoin, only to sink it with a $359M hole. Their "diversification" strategy? 88% of revenue still comes from things that crash when BTC sneezes. They call it subscription and services; I call it expensive theater. Retail is the meat wallet, derivatives are the band-aid, and stablecoin yields are evaporating faster than hope in a bear market. Coinbase holds 30% of USDC supply but earns less because interest rates tanked. Classic. They’re not a bank; they’re a toll booth on a road nobody wants to drive. Vira Manti wants useful analysis: stop betting on the raft. The hull is leaking, the crew is panicking, and the only thing growing is their GAAP loss. Keep your keys cold and your expectations colder.
