Similarly, when I saw the crypto Super Bowl ads, I knew the bubble was about to pop.

Crypto has boom and bust cycles. It will be back again, and mania will happen again.
Past booms are no guarantee of future booms. Fundamentals of crypto don't appear sound to me. So I wouldn't put much stock in them.

1 month is no where near enough. Folks probably left money on the table at the previous job to join Coinbase and now are going to be at a significant disadvantage negotiating for their next position.
Some folks may have spouses or partners change jobs at the same time in preparation for a move. Coinbase should have paid a lot more than 1 month. And what is this nonsense about paying severance in cash? Do they believe in crypto or do they not?

This is not like firing someone who has a established relationship with a company and might see his coworkers as friends etc. over email.
Coinbase tried to recruit me last summer. I politely told the recruiter that I felt it was all bubble speculation mania. Also the amount of equity sold by the CFO at the public listing indicated little confidence in the long term prospects. I guess I was right? Not trying to brag or anything. Just a tip to everyone job hunting I guess. Watch what executives do (not what they say). Well, and human history of speculati…
I told them something similar (didn't know about the CFO, I don't care enough to pay attention). I'm also amused by the headhunter I heard from who apparently was trying to specialize in whatevercoin/NFT/etc. startups. I politely told him I would entertain any non-"web3" plays, and he started telling me how I was making the worst career choice of my life and turning away money, etc. Wonder how he feels about his care…

Pretty good, for all the money he collected placing developers in these crap bubble jobs. A little sad, that recruiting is going to be down for a couple years before he can start cajoling developers to take some other kind of new-fangled job that he doesn't understand.
I mean Coinbase has been telling people who they are for years - no one should be surprised. I think we should be more surprised that anyone wants to work for Coinbase, Tesla, etc.

Rookie numbers. TSLA moves this much every other week.
Look at the % change compared to the total market cap.. https://companiesmarketcap.com/tesla/marketcap/ https://companiesmarketcap.com/facebook/marketcap/ https://companiesmarketcap.com/coinbase/marketcap/ Coinbase seems to still be the "winner" here.
Aren't a lot of job offers accepted by email these days? So what's the problem with rescinding them by email? This is not like firing someone who has a established relationship with a company and might see his coworkers as friends etc. over email.
