I believe some Startups just got reality check. Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away.

Coinbase isn't just "some startup." It's a Fortune 500 company that reassured new hires that they will NOT be rescinding offers until they changed their mind last minute.

I mean Carvana also is in the Fortune 500. It doesn't really mean much.
