Notes today: 

  • Sam Bankman-Fried’s bankrupt crypto empire owes its 50 biggest unsecured creditors a total of $3.1 billion, new court papers show, with a pair of customers owed more than $200 million eachThis dude bragged that he never reads a book – a clue perhaps?

  • FTX Bankruptcy, (third-largest, was valued at $32bn) - is worse than anyone imagined. 
  • Software was allegedly used to conceal the misuse of customer funds. 
  • A single, unsecured group email was used to access private keys and sensitive data around the world. 
  • Corporate funds of FTX Group were used to buy homes and other personal items for employees. 
  • Employees of the FTX Group submitted payment requests through an on-line ‘chat’ platform. we do Big Business based onemojis in the chat.

  •  But hey, these dudes where decentralizes and disruptors, not boring financiers.

  • My Crypto definition = pure speculative rubbish,  fundamentally worth ZERO.
  • (The Tulip mania 1634-1637 had more intrinsic value. Tulips are beautiful and some smell very nice)

  • Nassin Nicholas Taleb on Crypto / Bitcoin
