If the book is funny, I will totally buy it. I have been way down the rabbit hole in this space for over a decade, and one of the things that keeps me here is the sheer looniness of it all.
There is a good review about the book on Wired entitled "Everybody's Talking About the Wrong Sam Bankman-Fried Book". Most Amazon reviewers also gave it 5 stars. It's also Amazon Editor's Choice for history category.
Zeke is most innocent person to be investigative journalist..He is so off and cute that he can actually be one... I like how he assumes that Laura may not know about Axie and Stepin..
He explain it for the viewers, not for the host. I have watched several Zeke's interviews and the more I watch the more I like this guy. He always seems humble, unassuming, and always respectful to the people he talks to. I like the way he asked Laura's opinions in several occasions. He acknowledged Laura as more knowledgeable in this crypto field and he was willing to learn from her. His mild and humble demeanor could disarm a lot of people and open many doors for him.
I used to live and work in Cambodia: _everything_ is dangerous there. _Everything._ Going to the post office is dangerous. Paying your taxes is dangerous. Talking to a police officer is dangerous. Refusing to talk to the police, also dangerous.
The value of what the investors should get back is equal to how the Feds,the Treasury is calculating the curramount that is being declared as how much has been stolen by Sam Bankman-Fried and his family members have stolen ( ex: the value of the properties bought by these scumbags with stolen FTX CRYPTO CURRENCY and now those properties today have increased in value...same should apply to the provided investors who got scammed😅😅😅😅
Such a good investigative journalist, that he failed to realise, that neither FTX, Celsius nor Tether are crypto companies, but rather a companies operating in crypto space. Crypto was created to eliminate exactly those kind of middle men “crypto companies”. But blending it all together, makes a good story and story sells. What wouldn’t you do for some dollar… can’t blame him!
@@petercofrancesco9812 that’s the point, it’s a false narrative, there is no such a thing as “crypto company”!There is crypto and there are companies. Being a company implies having a centralised control, but the essence of crypto is elimination of centralised control. Bitcoin, for example, is a public good not a service, however tether is service not a public good, same as was Celsius and FTX.
@@SK-vg3mw Although without companies there is no use case for crypto. It be a bit like saying you are in favor of a technology but not the adoption and commercialization (they go hand in hand). What's seldom talked about that is the role government had in allowing bad centralized players like FTX to do what they did. In the financial world anyone can't open a bank or stock exchange without oversight and protection from the government. With little to no regulation we saw what happens. If an investigation journalist can't get any idea whether Tether is just another FTX waiting to happen what hope does an individual have without any sort of protection?
@@petercofrancesco9812 wrong, the whole point of crypto is being to be used peer to peer without companies or anyone commercialising on it! Crypto networks are public goods not private enterprises. It’s just a software running on its own without anyone in the office controlling it, unlike banks and centralised stock exchanges. Crypto is transparent and permissionless, banks and centralised exchanges are controlled black boxes, that’s why crypto don’t need regulations, but a banks do! Also, illegal activity whether crypto related or not is already well regulated. All necessary laws to prevent FTX were already in place. Regulations doesn’t stop fraudsters like SBF or Machinsky intentionally breaking them, they work only for people who will follow them.
FTX, Celcius, and Tether ARE crypto companies because they are or their shareholders are the one who created the crypto currencies that they do transactions with.
Awesome to see Laura talk to a crypto critic. Would love to see her talk with Bennett Tomlin and other critics
She talked to James Block (Dirty Bubble Media, I think). Like the Carly girl, Laura also cannot present legit use case for crypto.

You better buy the book for the seriousness in it, not the comic relief.

pls, stop editing everything
Funnily enough "Number go up" is the same philosophy held by Central Banks, Governments, and Lending Institutions.
AHH, the good old whataboutism...
Good for the midcurvers
China’s debt crash may reveal how shaky reserves are at this time. Tether will be revealed.

So what would you consider a “true” crypto company he should have talked to?
