Weird vibe from that Vox interview, yeah, like SBF doesn't care that much about his own wellbeing or the ramifications of admitting all this stuff (or he's sufficiently sheltered that he isn't worried about it)
― jmm, Thursday, 17 November 2022 15:27 (one year ago) link
admitting that he doesn't give a fuck about ethics is genuine, at least. if he gave 0.001% a fuck about it he would be feeling extremely bad about how much he damaged the important new groundbreaking idea of "effective altruism" for anyone else who is using that as their line right now

ethics are what you impose on other people
― mh, Thursday, 17 November 2022 15:58 (one year ago) link
it's true but it's not genuine is how i break it down etc
he doesn't do genuine he does "what likely plays right now" -- sometimes this overlaps with the facts

turns out it wasnt exactly an interview or at least he didnt think so, he didnt realize the texts were going to be published even tho he was talking to a reporter he had no relationship with and he didnt ask for it to be off the record, lol what a bozo

xp it's also funny that people are commenting "wow he should have said this was off the record" when that'd mean jack shit after his company is toast and no one's going to get to interview him anymore. there's no legal standing to OTR, it's just "I'll tell you some juicy shit, please don't burn me and I might keep doing it in the future"

I had just been saying to a friend of mine after it came out that he's been blabbing at Michael Lewis for six months that he really should've read The Journalist and the Murderer, but he has been quoted as saying that books are a waste of time

wld think this is just the tip of the iceberg as far as collusion is concerned, seems like theres always tons of funds sloshing around between various big holders for unknown reasons
This is a useful reminder that some top crypto people -- executives, whales, investors -- are in small private group chats discussing other market players and coordinating activity. There's a club and they're in it. https://t.co/7thi054UUt— Jacob Silverman (@SilvermanJacob) November 18, 2022

interesting, gbtc is guess is some bitcoin derivative and its price has sharply decoupled from bitcoins
Based on GBTC's 43% discount to NAV, #Bitcoin is already trading well below $10K. I think this is the real price of Bitcoin, as when you sell $GBTC you get paid real cash. But when you sell #BTC you get paid #Tether. To get actual cash for Bitcoin you must accept a huge discount.— Peter Schiff (@PeterSchiff) November 18, 2022
