He's tweeting one letter at a time while deleting past tweets, so that Twitter bots that track when your total tweet count goes down don't trigger

Where did all that money go? No one knows for sure yet, but one place it certainly didn’t go was to pay for Bankman-Fried’s League of Legends coaching. According to an investigation by the Financial Times, he was apparently terrible at the Riot Games MOBA, playing over 1,000 matches without hitting Platinum. In fact, he doesn’t appear to have ever left Bronze Tier II.

Of course the FTX crypto scammer was a bad LoL player

Even without trying to do fancy math, that's a billion exiting crypto from bigger players. This has been going on for over a week (since November 6th specifically), and they're transferring Bitcoin to everywhere to sell. I completely doubt this is just SBF selling bitcoin back to exchanges - and this is just how bad Bitcoin is! This is happening to everything.

There appears to be large groups completely screwed.


And with it, crypto people hoping to buy the next drop that they expect to be the bottom in the market.

This is a terrible comparison because no one expected Trump to win in 2016, the republicans were actively obstructing democratic supreme court appointments in the year of Obama's term, and she was relatively healthy (as much so as an 83 year old woman can be) in 2015. The assumption was that she would retire early in Hillary's term but lol whelp. She almost made it through Trump, but not quite. If anything she suffered from the same problem of under-estimating the chances of a Trump win that most of the democratic establishment did.

Now there's a whole other argument to be had about relying on octogenarians in the highest court in the land in the first place, but that's a separate issue.

I love it when people say they're always focused on their work, because it generally means they're either so terrible at their job that they can't afford to switch off or everything will spin out of control, or they're so dull that they genuinely have nothing else of interest in their lives.
