This whole saga, together with the Twitter and Meta shitshows have been exposing the Emperor for wearing no clothes. Turns out the rich and powerful of Silicon Valley aren't super smart and wise folks to be looked up to. They're just regular people, a lot of them ignorant, that got lucky. Enough with the pedestals.

"you can exchange your money for goods and services" "HOLY SHIT WHAT A VISIONARY 10 OUT OF 10" Clearly SBF will truly be the first trillionaire

> No, just no. Why is the MSM putting out constant puff pieces about this guy? Just to be clear, this is the archive of a puff piece published on the Sequoia Capital website: they were talking up their book. They took it down when they wrote their investment in FTX down to $0 (from over $200mm). It was neither published recently nor by a MSM outlet.
