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

    So he's claiming, among other things, that FTX US wasn't impacted and will be okay, but I'm skeptical.

    Supposedly withdrawals are still open. Not sure if they're actually processing them, though. This might be buying time.

    The FTX International website (non-US) has up this message:

    FTX is currently unable to process withdrawals. We strongly advise against depositing. Deposits of TRX, BTT, JST, SUN, and HT are disabled.
    https://ftx.com/intl



    The FTX US site (ftx.us) does not have any such message. So maybe you'll be okay if you are an American with assets in FTX US.

    Yesterday morning I withdrew BTC, ETH, SOL, and USD off of FTX.US. It all went thru instantly, well except the USD took a couple hours but it was a wire so that’s normal. I consider myself lucky.

    quick reminder that ftx didnt lose 10bn. they are in the red 10bn. the offloaded 10bn in sundry shitcoins in the process.


    meaning they actually lost 20bn.



    not 10.

    Wrong Wang


    The Wang that nobody mentions is the founder and CTO - Gary Wang.

    The man is a ghost.

    This is a funny interview. This kid was fired from Twitter a month ago.

    Maybe you guys have covered it but it bears repeating. Absolutely non of the employees had any clue what was going on except the inner circle.




    Gonna be lotta hungry devs come winter

    Not sure if you're joking, San, so I'll clarify.

    This "Rahul Ligma" is a prankster who first tricked the media walking around with a cardboard box outside Twitter HQ, and now he's doing an encore performance in the "Bahamas" (likely not the real Bahamas).

    -BlockFi pausing withdrawals
    -WeBull sent out an email saying "everything is fine" in regards to their crypto division

    If anyone has big money on Stake, Roobet, and/or Gamdom I would advise withdrawing. Just a matter of time before one of these No KYC crypto online gambling sites does a rug pull and turns off their servers. Most likely it will be Roobet out of the 3.

    The scams always get revealed during bear markets. Bernie Madoff would still be in business if the 2008 never happened.

    and periods of easy money allow scams like crypto to flourish. Bernie was the product of easy money. This has always been so.

    you notice how US law enforcement has been pretty chill about all these collapses - and there have been many recently.

    this isn’t some libertarian free market deal - where foolish investors and fraudulent businessmen both are allowed to fail. Sadly there is another agenda that explains why ecverything is being allowed to blow up

    SBF's net worth went from $22 Billion last year to -$200 million now.

    FTX and Almeda was run by about 10 people who lived in SBF's luxury penthouse in the Bahamas and had sex with each other.

    I am not alone in believing SBF actually has a NEGATIVE net worth.

    Never has it been more true “not your keys not your cheese”.

    Like buying gold to eliminate counterparty risk…… and then leaving it in custody at a bank.

    its important to remember that the contagion is only starting to do its work. innumerable treasuries / exchanges / funds are basically gunshot victims, staring at their wounds and waiting for help that doesnt exist while the adrenaline keeps them standing.

    the smart ones will have parachutes and legal insulation. the dumb ones, bankruptcy and jail.

    and the irs is coming for them all.

    including the retail investors.



    especially the retail investors.
