    He should've cashed-out when he had the chance.

    Never trust someone with crazy hair.




    i forget where this was briefly touched on but the whole 'sbf is worth less than a billion' narrative overlooks the possibility that hes got many, many, _many_ personal obligations and debt and loans and such.

    like he could be deep underwater already by a huge margin.

Coincidence that the country just voted (allegedly) to destroy itself little by little for 2 more years? I think not.
    Whenever institutions suddenly lose that kind money they usually need to raise cash. So if your 401k took a hit today or will tomorrow you can still lose money despite not holding crypto.

    You’re a player

    You gonna play the bounce off $13.5? Of course, all eyes are on the same thing. It’ll shake and bake

    if even a tiny portion of what sbf is accused of is true, he is absolutely 100% going to prison.


    price targets:

    sol $3
    eth $500
    btc $10k

    literal billions of retail money has vanished. no bailout, no acquisition, nothing.

    i dont know how many of you are on crypto twitter but ive never seen anything like this. a huge swathe of the most active members of the community are quite literally broke / destitute. 72 hours ago these were people routinely having 1m+ USD months and financing projects, sponsoring art, yada yada. they are now worth zero.

    Is there a thread on another site discussing the horror stories?

    I think some of the crypto casino sites are gonna implode next. They were already struggling because Twitch banned streamers from playing on crypto casinos. Lack of new players signing up coupled with an implosion of their crypto holdings might result in the smaller sites like Roobet and Gamdom doing a rug pull. I can see them shutting down and keeping all deposits.

    the doj is already spinning up an investigation of ftx, theres zero chance they dont start dropping those black friday style hammers.

    Elon Musk tweets while sitting on the toilet. And I post on Poker Fraud Alert while sitting on the toilet.

    I just thought of something. During the 2008 financial crash, anytime a bank got bailed out the stock market would go crazy the next session. If FTX gets a bailout, I wonder if BTC will moon 10-20%? Or is a bailout impossible?

    "Typically" that word, that if NOT the word youre looking to see/read when wanting Confidence

    Typically so typically means, they should have but they didn't. That is not the word you want to see when trying find confidence in anything. That means they typically have to makes excuses for the times, they actually didnt act typically, accordingly. If you catch my drift there

    Typically

    Binance is walking away from its deal to rescue Sam Bankman-Fried's collapsed FTX crypto exchange, citing issues 'beyond our ability or control to help'

    https://markets.businessinsider.com/...da-ftt-2022-11

    He's FUCKED!!!

    It appears that everybody is OUT!!!

    The future of crypto is not FTX.

    Well well well...

    Remember Daniel Friedberg, UB executive and lawyer who was caught on tape helping Russ Hamilton and Greg Pierson cover up their cheating?

    Guess who was the "regulatory officer" at FTX?
