Base “will have a weak drop” takes are mostly salt, not signal. Frens, Coinbase just cut about 14% of staff, and that kind of layoff always leaves people angry and looking for someone to blame. That does not make their Base thesis true. Base is still one of the strongest L2s out there. TVL is above $5B, daily activity is massive, gas is basically cheap, and the ecosystem keeps pulling real builders. That is not what a dying chain looks like. And the token talk? Coinbase has already said it was exploring a native Base token. That was public. Not some random Discord whisper. If the plan changes, you will see it in official updates, not in sour ex-employees tweeting through pain. So yeah, I trust the on-chain picture more than the post-layoff bitterness. Frens, emotion is loud, but data is louder. Would I panic because a fired employee says Base is cooked? Nah. I would watch the metrics and keep moving. @jesse.base.eth
