Layoffs at CoinDCX

I got the offer from the CoinDCX a few months ago they heavily lowballed me and culture didn't look good as well. So I decided not to join them. Saved by God Grace.

I own bitcoins, what should I do with them? I have been in this since 2014 and been able to ride 3 waves, but feeling tired and also a little sad of not cashing out in previous cycles and investing! I want to take money out of bitcoin now, should I do it? What would you suggest ?

Pure speculation. Don’t go about asking me for proofs. The WazirX hack is an inside job designed to make it look like funds are stolen when in reality the founders have been embezzling it out little by little and to cover up the embezzlement they are claiming that they got hacked.

Hot Take - WazirX hack is an inside job

Hardware Engineer

I think this is CoinSwitch Kuber and WazirX, but I could be wrong. But to be safe, if you have money there, you should leave.
If anybody has figured a good way to do this process, can you please share as well?

Folks, please get off of Indian crypto exchanges - hearing there’s about to be a fund seize

Corporate Strategist

- OpenAI's official press account on X was hacked by crypto scammers, similar to previous incidents involving company leadership.
- The compromised account posted about a fake OpenAI-branded blockchain token, $OPENAI, linking to a phishing site.
- The phishing site encouraged users to connect their crypto wallets, likely to steal login credentials.
- Comments on the malicious post were disabled, making the hack less obvious.
- Previous hacks targeted OpenAI CTO Mira Murati and other high-profile tech accounts, promoting similar crypto scams.

What in the hell is happening

- WazirX experienced a major security breach on July 18, leading to a loss of around $234.9 million during early European hours.
- Preliminary investigation suggests the attack originated from Liminal's infrastructure, bypassing their final verification step.
- The malicious transaction was not sent to any whitelisted destination addresses, which should have been blocked by Liminal’s firewall and whitelist policy.
- WazirX has announced a $23 million bounty to recover the stolen $230 million assets and is conducting a forensic investigation.
- Two potential scenarios are considered: a breach of Liminal’s infrastructure or malware on WazirX signers’ devices, with the former being more likely.

So there are bunch of hirings in every org of which you have no effin idea what they do and why do they exist! Let’s start - UI/UX researcher

Thread about no clue 🕵️‍♀️

UX Researchers help in clarifying whether the Product manager was actually retarded or not in building features that he/she thinks are helpful for the users but in fact was only building it to pump up vanity metrics.

Maybe he saw his crypto portfolio and just wanted two minutes of happiness

First MBB reduced bonus. Now EY is laying off US partners. Is something up with consulting in general?

Deals are not happening as it used to. Macros uncertainty is keeping clients on budget tightening. The pre-sales consultants are having hard time to convince the clients

It could be telling your manager off or something spicier. A moment you can't believe you got away with in a work environment.

[Alert] New scam via hiring

So finally, someone spoke about this fraudulent startup AstroTalk. How they operate and how they take advantage of gullible people, is completely explained in the video. These kinds of startups need to be busted on LinkedIn and other social media platforms so that no one calls prey for such cheap tactics. This is just another BYJUs in the making. The cofounder is an IIT IIM grad. Shows how greed can even pollute the minds of even highly educated people. Really don't understand how the VCs can be so fucking dumb, funding them with 165 Crores!! Shocking but it isn't surprising since the Indian Startup ecosystem is filled with such scam artists.

Scam called AstroTalk - BYJUs 2.0

Jab tak hum jaise log IIM/IITians ki G chaat te rahenge tab tak ye hume chutiya banate rahenge. 4 din baad tum chutiye sab bhool jaoge fir kisi naye IIT/IIM led startup ko linkedin par praise karoge jab tak wo bubble itna bada na ho jaye ki use criticise kar pao…fir kisi anonymous platform par aajakr “OMG SO FUCKING DISGUSTING” bold doge kyuki linkedin par to tumhari gaand thandi ho jati hai kisi ko criticise karte hue…aur ye cycle bas chalta rahega…so moral of the story is, tum hi log chutiye ho wo nahi.

Almost 40 lakh Indians lost money to the WazirX hack and I feel this is not discussed much. Also no action from authorities. 

They just burned millions of Indians and there isn’t much notice. How it’s still operating? After all we pay taxes on crypto investments but there isn’t any regulation or protection? I mean why hell tax is for. 

This is just plain stupid. Finance Ministry is probably the most fuc*ed up ministry right now I think. 

Why the founder not in legal soup?
