I've been out of the crypto game for awhile, but this FTX stuff is wild.
I wouldn't be keeping any money on these exchanges.

high level sounds like a combo of too much leverage, inflated collateral values, losses from LUNA collapse and 3AC-related fallout, and a hole that just kept getting bigger

It's always amazing to me that more people don't hear this type of rhetoric from celebrities, politicians, and other public figures and think, "oh this person is a sociopath and a hustler, and probably even a pedophile." Hope is eternal I guess.

So you're saying that ESG investing is actually a gigantic con designed to publicly shame and manipulate businesses into bowing to meaningless social justice causes that do nothing but enrich and entrench the power of the capitalist class? LMAO. Their brochures clearly say the opposite! LEARN TO READ!

Small quibble is that this is "Effective Altruism", not ESG. ESG suggests he would actually be subject to some sort of regulatory framework.Bi_3 wrote:BurtReynolds wrote:It's always amazing to me that more people don't hear this type of rhetoric from celebrities, politicians, and other public figures and think, "oh this person is a sociopath and a hustler, and probably even a pedophile."

True in a sense, but the marketing pitch is the same: "Stanford grad discovers simple trick to absolve yourself of class guilt!". Though ESG requirements often come is as a condition of seed funding now-a-days.
