appreciate the reasonable assessment.
the ongoing investigations aren’t helping either, and just saw on Twitter that Coinbase dropped them as a banking partner.
i hope they can pull off a miracle and stay alive, but the odds do seem to be stacked against them.
Just looked at their securities mix - 47% are mortgages which would sell at a massive loss if liquidated. It really does look terrible for them, and they are entering a death spiral.
