One of the biggest takeaways from FTX is that “due diligence” just gets delegated to whoever has the best reputation. If paradigm invested hundreds of millions after doing their DD, why would you waste time doing your own? You wouldn’t. Nobody did. Welcome to venture capital.

@chainalysis it looks as if your firm is caught right in the middle of a large scale fraud. Ironically, this type of event was supposed to be detectable through your services. So tell us, is you service either completely worthless, or entirely corrupt?
FTX has partnered with Chainalysis to revamp our AML/KYC system: help.ftx.com/hc/en-us/articl…

Twitter has broken just about every piece of this FTX story using blockchain analytics, while NYT is writing puff pieces on a criminal. Feels like a turning point for citizen journalism and loss of trust in MSM.

Saving never needed yield -- until central banks introduced fiat money printing. It was this inflation that created the very foundation of modern finance by forcing savers to look for yield.

1. apply haircut to customer funds 2. issue IOU tokens for the rest 3. let traders continue trading and make money from trading fees 4. eventually pay off the IOU tokens from rev and provide some upside

The rumours for this blowup seem so egregious and unnecessary to me. I can’t imagine running an exchange that does mid 8 fig PER DAY in revenue and thinking “how can we leverage this for more?”. I can’t imagine risking a 40+bn business to try & get a multiple on client deposits.

A common mistake I see a lot of new guys make when getting into PA or liquidity based concepts is that they focus so heavily on why the markets move rather than actually practicing the execution. "WHY" isnt relevant at all. What is really relevant is your execution model. EIEO>

Been in some of these Twitter spaces. You people are more afraid of missing “ThE BoTtoM” than losing your portfolio and that’s why you’re ngmi

Probably the best take on on-chain analytics out there
i've been with #bitcoin for a long time and one thing that's helped me a lot is discernment when it comes to on-chain metrics. time for a quick thread. what's useful, and what's not? take 2 minutes to read and most of the confusion and controversy will clear up. let's go🧵

Do Kwon: "95% are going to die [coins], but there's also entertainment in watching companies die too" 8 days ago. Ironic.

Interesting experiment, anything but being at the mercy of the IMF seems to a viable alternative to developing nations.
"The essence of a #BitcoinBond is that half of it is backed by a #Bitcoin war chest. I see Bitcoin as the way out for many developing nations. It's a way for them to reclaim sovereignty." - @Excellion cheddar.com/media/el-salvado…
This is literally something that bitcoin fixes.

Did we mention that we have both @BinanceChain and @ethereum bridges on testnet, and that #Bitcoin Sovryns will be able to swap $SOV frictionlessly across @Uniswap and @PancakeSwap as well?
Ethereum have @Uniswap Binance Chain have @PancakeSwap And Now Bitcoin have @SovrynBTC "Pancakeswap is Uniswap of Binance Chain". Sovryn is Pancakeswap/Uniswap of Bitcoin Blockchain. #DeFi Few Understand this now, Many will Follow Soon. #STAYSOVRYN
