SBF says he wants to ‘raise liquidity’ as puzzling tweets continue

THE BLOCKPublished on 2022-11-16Last updated on 2022-11-16

Abstract

Bankman-Fried said he hopes to “raise liquidity, make customers whole, and restart.”

Sam Bankman-Fried, former CEO of beleaguered crypto exchange FTX, is still tweeting.

⠀⠀

In the latest installments of a puzzling series of posts on Twitter, Bankman-Fried said that “too much leverage” and a run on the bank scenario were to blame for FTX’s collapse.

⠀

“So what can I try to do? Raise liquidity, make customers whole, and restart,” Bankman-Fried wrote. He said he may fail, but added, “part of me thinks I might get somewhere.”

⠀

The tweets will raise many an eyebrow given that FTX filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection last week and may have more than a million creditors — not to mention the fact that Bankman-Fried is no longer CEO after resigning on Nov. 11, and reports that sister company Alameda Research used FTX customer funds for risky bets. Many Twitter users responded to Bankman-Fried’s latest statements derisively.

⠀

⠀

Bankman-Fried did not immediately respond to questions about how he planned to raise liquidity.

⠀⠀

The Wall Street Journal reported earlier today that Bankman-Fried is trying to raise capital despite the bankruptcy filing, citing people familiar with the matter.

⠀⠀

Bankman-Fried’s latest tweets extend a bizarre Twitter thread that began on Nov. 14.

Bitcoin Trading Strategy Breakdown: Celebrity Predictions and Classic Models All Fail, Only These Four Indicators Remain

Analysis of Bitcoin Trading Strategies: Why Celebrity Forecasts and Classic Models Fail, Leaving Only These Four Reliable Indicators This analysis examines the failure of common Bitcoin prediction methods and identifies four reliable indicators for constructing a trading strategy. The author reviewed all major BTC prediction approaches from 2017-2025, categorizing them into three groups: celebrity price targets (consistently over-optimistic), analytical models like Stock-to-Flow (broken post-2022), and on-chain signals. The key finding is that more data often creates confusion, not clarity. The strategy discards unreliable elements: celebrity predictions (incentivized to be extreme), pure models (invalidated by post-ETF market changes), and the Fear & Greed Index used alone (too many false signals). Four reliable indicators were selected: 1. **MVRV Z-Score:** Accurately identifies cycle bottoms when entering its green zone (e.g., 2018, 2020, 2022). Note: Its ability to call tops is now ineffective post-2024. 2. **SOPR (28-day MA):** Consistently signals bottoms when below 1.0, indicating holders are selling at a loss. 3. **ETF Net Flow:** A crucial post-2024 metric showing institutional momentum (e.g., sustained inflows = buying). 4. **Macro Liquidity (Fed policy & M2):** Sets the overall directional bias (e.g., bullish during easing cycles). The core strategy involves waiting for a multi-signal共振 (resonance). For example, a bottom signal requires MVRV in the green zone + SOPR < 1.0. A top signal requires overheated on-chain data + sustained ETF outflows. Macro policy sets the overall direction. The Fear & Greed Index is only used as a weighted confirmatory signal, never alone. Action is only taken when three or more indicators align. The author automated this into a monitoring system that sends Telegram alerts only when signals trigger. As of the article's date (April 15, 2026), the system showed a strong bottom signal: extreme fear (F&G=12), MVRV in the buy zone, and SOPR < 1.0. The only contrary signal was weak ETF flows. Historically, such triple on-chain共振 has preceded 100%+ returns. The conclusion emphasizes building a personal framework over relying on external predictions, allowing for iterative improvement and customization based on individual risk tolerance.

Netflix Founder Goes to His Most Feared Place

Netflix co-founder and chairman Reed Hastings is stepping down from the board after nearly 30 years with the company, despite Netflix posting its strongest-ever quarterly results with revenue up 16% and net profit surging 83% year-over-year. The move comes as Hastings deepens his involvement in AI governance, having joined the board of Anthropic last year through its Long-Term Benefit Trust, an independent body focused on aligning AI development with humanity’s long-term interests. Hastings, who studied AI in the 1980s, has shifted from optimism to caution regarding AI’s impact. He recently identified AI as the biggest threat to Netflix, fearing that AI-generated content could eventually make free platforms like YouTube so compelling that paid subscriptions become less attractive. His concerns are grounded in Netflix’s own history of disrupting traditional media through technology. While Netflix is actively integrating AI into production—including a recent $600 million acquisition of an AI-assisted filmmaking tools company—Hastings appears to be hedging against a future where AI fundamentally alters content creation and consumption. His departure marks a symbolic moment, reflecting both his personal pivot toward AI ethics and the broader existential questions facing the entertainment industry.
