the worst part? they are absolutely top tier apes

were not talking about your everyday apes here just to be clear

top notch apes get the most not the lesser

"It's hard to put to words how devastating this is."

maybe instead of words they can convert it to nfts

ha a#z bribed kickstarter into going blockchain with predictable results https://archive.ph/UZv4s

am i being dim or is it nowhere explained in this article what actual specific benefits the blockchain was intended to deliver?

allowing people to make their own kickstarter inside kickstarter? i mean its crypto it doesnt have any benefits

Users, meanwhile, would be able to create mini platforms of their own around niche interests like anime, bringing in more people and splitting any profits with Kickstarter. This structure, which would echo other initiatives like Farcaster, did not require donors to pay with cryptocurrencies but would entail Kickstarter’s creating an entirely new, open-source version of its existing software that would be built on top of a blockchain that had never been tested by a massive consumer application.

the benefit of blockchain was they were getting $100M

"Be it so," I said, replacing the tool beneath the cloak and again offering him my arm. He leaned upon it heavily. We continued our route in search of the Blockchain. We passed through a range of low arches, descended, passed on, and descending again, arrived at a deep crypt, in which the foulness of the air caused our flambeaux rather to glow than flame.

why is a 15-year-old company called a "startup"?

interesting they were buying out shareholders rather than investing in the company, also the deal wasnt contingent on kickstarter actually doing the blockchain stuff, effectively they were just acquiring shares and recommending crypto

wonder if they got rid of the old ceo cause they needed a new one to tell andereeson they werent doing blockchain

he is kind of imposing

This is such a concise version of the "he's just an adorable boy" story they kept trying to sell. Such a weird element.

SBF's statement was infuriating word salad. Right after an FTX customer/victim mentioned other victims committing suicide you have SBF saying "I agree with most of what Sunil said ... what matters are my colleagues." My COLLEAGUES?!?!?

honor amongst thieves

I don't know why I hate this guy so much. Maybe it's the hair.

something that bothers me is people just dumped all this money on him calling him a generational genius then you hear him talk and hes all yeah so uh you put money in the program then uuhh so its a ponzi scheme and more money comes out, hes keeping spreadsheets called crimes go in here, just not even good at scamming, but silicon valley rolled the red carpet out for him, shameful, media repeating all his blatant bs about trying to save the world, i want to see a master manipulator at work not this privileged dweeb

there's probably an argument to be made for a smart but socially tone deaf kid getting way in over his head and cutting corners in ways he didn't know were illegal and committing major errors which he didn't know how to dig out of but that really doesn't seem to be the case here

he repeated the lie today about how ftx couldve survived if there wasnt a run on deposits which was just not true, i wonder if he believes it, seems like vcs giving him all that money went to his head, when the story first broke his plan was to go to congress and persuade them that everything was cool, he considered himself the best salesman in the world, lol

that really doesn't seem to be the case here

yeah theres tons of evidence he was knowingly doing fraud the entire time, i mean maybe he thought it was ok because hes a crypto guy so laws dont apply idk, pretty dumb if so

He just seems like a sociopath who developed a schtick that was close enough to his "real" self that it kind of fooled some people for a while. Although my theory is that low interest rates are kind of like booze, and the lower they are and the longer they last, the lower the bar gets for hot. Like the guy came off as a buffoon, and the narrative seemed to be "he comes off as a buffoon which proves he is a genius." It was all kind of thin to begin with.

yeah if you have a fund you have to invest the money somewhere and crypto was hot so why not say the guy is a genius, but i do think due to various incentives a lot of people believed it, they considered themselves geniuses too no doubt tho

As someone who has to regularly read a lot of investment banker research/analyst reports, I often find myself wondering to what extent people in their world are bullshitting themselves versus just others.

Like there's a thin line between actually believing the story and just believing it's a story you can sell to other people. And there's an incentive to at least believe that you believe the story.

yeah believing things is pretty easy if it benefits you, and they say theres no one easier to sell than a salesperson

in the end it doesn’t matter tho, because the guy will get off with a relatively light prison sentence and then inherit all of mommy and daddy’s money. hope he gets shanked

they spent most of their money on his quixotic defense

I mean so they claimed in a soft-touch profile anyway, I'm sure they've got something

he got 25 years and some people are saying its light but thats big chunk of even the longest life, and you have to serve at least 85% of yr time in the feds so its not like hell get out in 12 or whatever, things arent going that good for him

12 is a very long time, being in jail for a month sucks from what ive heard, were somewhat injured to all these numbers due to living in a police state but being incarcerated is not too great

yeah it definitely sucks for him. like imagine being in jail since 1999

caek posted in the other thread theres a recentish law that allows non violent federal offenders to serve as little as 50% of their sentences depending on circumstances fwiw 85% is somewhat out of date

yeah it definitely sucks for him. like imagine being in jail since 1999
