That was incredibly fast. Interesting to note is that the failures are growing and FTX contagion is real. I am weirdly positive about this because I like the tech but I don't like the "degens" Having spent the last 20 years in Finance, the last thing you want is fuck around with other people's money.

I've been waiting for this for years.

SBF was a very positive force for EA, now that he's down everyone piles on him? shameless

Well, he apparently hoodwinked his customers by abusing and losing their deposits.

I don't think people who made billions by scamming well meaning customers should be held in high regard.

In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up in prison

I believe it's the common folk who had money with FTX who are down. All the way to zero. One wonders if EA is could be considered a guilt-compensation mechanism.

The good times made crazy people look smart and the bad times are making crazy people look like idiots.

I keep seeing these headlines, and I keep really trying to feel sorry for these people that are potentially loosing their arses. However, I just can't get there.

NFTs are the ones I'm really LOLing about vs the currency plays, but since the currencies are failing too, it just kind reveals the house of straw the whole thing truly is.

and yet Bitcoin is off 4.5% off of lows $15.6k -> $16.3k

Serious question: how long can it last at these levels. Where’s the support for this asset?

Drugs, Money Laundering, Money Hiding, etc. etc.

There is utility in a black currency for all sorts of illegal things
