What is amazing about Saylor is that he is utterly immune to any form of social shame, or shame at all. He can just say the dumbest wrongest things and get blasted for it, and a day later he can be back with something worse.
Amazing.. and he also super rich. (or at least was rich ;) ).
To add, courtesy of more crypto-related ventures and reported by Matt
Levine:
FTX/Alameda were funneling customer money into effective altruism.
Bankman-Fried seems to have generously funded a lot of effective
altruism charities, artificial-intelligence and pandemic research,
Democratic political candidates, etc. One 00 million entry on the
desperation balance sheet is “Anthropic,” a venture investment in an AI
safety company. At that same Bloomberg Crypto Summit, I asked
Bankman-Fried 9 : “You are sort of in the business of funneling money
from people who are going to use it poorly on gambling to, like, animal
charities and pandemic preparedness and Joe Biden. Is that too cynical a
view, or is that not cynical at all, or what?” My question assumed that
FTX and Alameda made a lot of money on fees and spreads from running a
crypto exchange and market-maker, so they were legitimately taking money
from gamblers and using it for charity. But “not cynical enough” might
have been the correct answer. 10
Saylor Moon 🌙🤣🤣🤣
Social credibility operates by Aristotelean physics. The heavier objects pulls both down faster.
