Take what you can out of the sinking ship. In the real world, that is, pre-crypto, a CEO never sell his or her own shares while shouting "all is OK". A CEO selling shares expresses such a loss of confidence in the company it is taken extremely seriously.

ETA - Bonus: Nassem and Vitalik get into it in the above Twitter thread.

Not a lot of shares… probably less than a fraction of percent of his holdings.

As someone who is not pro-crypto, I will say this is normal selling on his part that he announced prior. Peanuts compared to his overall holdings

Odds are, without looking (don't care enough), the actual filing probably paints a different picture.

Just so happens that I emptied my account this morning. When I saw the second platform go down I figured it just wasn't worth it.
I think Coinbase is a legitimate company, but that won't keep them from becoming the next bank run.

You dont sell that much stock, while laying off employees, unless your confidence is shaken in your company

His shares are held through a living trust and in Oct he said he planned to sell 2% over the next year to fund scientific research. The trust still holds 60 million shares.
So this was likely planned and means nothing.
