推特聊天截图曝光:SBF如何进行“自我辩护”?

Odaily星球日报Published on 2022-11-17Last updated on 2022-11-17

Abstract

我曾在今年夏天早些时候通过 Zoom 与 SBF 进行过交谈,当时我正在撰写他的简介。

我曾在今年夏天早些时候通过 Zoom 与 SBF 进行过交谈,当时我正在撰写他的简介。所以在 11 月 13 日,有消息称他的加密货币交易所已经崩溃,数十亿的客户存款消失后,我通过推特私信联系了他。我没想到他会做出回应——通常,正在接受 SEC (美国证券交易委员会)和美国司法部调查的人不会做任何回复。

联系上 SBF 后,他显然想谈谈。关于 FTX 和他的对冲基金 Alameda Research 如何拿客户的钱赌博,他声称,他们没有意识到自己在做什么。没有意识到谁会被称赞为英雄,谁会成为替罪羊。他还谈到监管问题,谈到他后悔的事情(《破产法》第 11 章,宣布破产的决定),以及他会如何对待 FTX 和 Alameda(更谨慎的记账;一旦 FTX 可以独立生存,就脱离 Alameda)。

当时已经过了巴哈马时间午夜,我们在推特私信里来回聊了一个多小时。SBF 表示仍在努力筹集偿还所有储户所需的资金。

当我们交流的时候,我试图弄明白,在公关、慈善捐款和游说的背后,SBF 到底相信什么是对的,什么是错的,尤其是他所从事的工作和他所在行业的道德准则。我们的整个谈话中要面对这样一个背景——那些信任他的人失去了积蓄,他已对一开始的承诺造成了无法估量的破坏。我们的谈话结束后,我对他所说的许多话感到震惊。

关于监管

在 SBF 的加密帝国崩溃之前,SBF 积极参与在华盛顿游说建立加密货币监管框架。尽管许多加密行业 CEO,比如 币安 的赵长鹏公开怀疑政府监管,但 SBF 基本上避免批评监管机构。他把自己过去的声明——比如上个月他说,一定程度的加密货币监管“绝对是好的”描述为“公关问题”。他这样做几乎证实了批评者的观点,批评者认为他对华盛顿的示好只是表面,而不是实情。

SBF 愿意做不道德的事

有一个很多人在猜测的问题——SBF 是否认为“为了更大的利益”而做不道德的事情是可以接受的。这是 SBF 过去所认为的自利主义者可能会持有的立场。

这个问题碰巧是我在今年夏天的采访中问过他的,在我们进行推特对话的前一天晚上,我刚刚重新听了一遍当时的采访。

当时我认为 SBF 对于“越界”要面对道德难题是——经营加密货币交易所是否一开始就是正确的选择,以及他声称自己想做的好事是否可以让它成为可能。

在之前的采访中,我对 SBF 说:“很多人会认为开一家加密货币公司赚数十亿美元,就像我开一家烟草公司赚数十亿美元一样非常不道德。假设,有一条线,即使有充分的理由,你也不能越界。我很好奇你是否认为有底线存在?如果存在,你的底线又在哪里?”

SBF 回答:“确实是有底线的,答案不可能是没有底线。否则,你最终可能造成的伤害远远大于好处。但底线没那么容易划清。因为如果你的核心业务对世界有害,就会有很多复杂但严重的二级伤害(比如影响与合作伙伴的合作)。”

在我们的推特对话中,我又问起了他对道德底线对看法。夏天的采访中 SBF 认为不能为了所谓正确的事而做出不道德的行为。而本次这场推特对话中 SBF 对当初那些正确的道德发言全盘否定,他承认他当时说的不是真心话。

关于歪曲事实

SBF 坚称,FTX 从未将加密账户持有人的存款投资于该交易所。我通过推特向他追问这一点,尽管他继续坚称 FTX 没有以这种方式直接使用账户资金,但他说,Alameda 从 FTX 的资产负债表上借了比他意识到的多得多的钱用于投资,这最终使 FTX 容易受到相当于银行挤兑的来自加密货币的冲击。

为什么 SBF 直到为时已晚才意识到发生了什么?他说:“有时候生活会悄悄降临到你身上(Sometimes life creeps up on you)。”

到底发生了什么

有说法称 FTX 垮台的种子已经在今年早些时候播下,当时据报道,在加密货币公司 Terra 的 LUNA 稳定币崩溃后,Alameda 遭受了巨额损失。SBF 说,他没有意识到问题的严重程度,因为“糟糕混乱的记账方式”——混乱的记账高达数十亿美元。

SBF的遗憾

SBF 承认他“搞砸了。”但他也坚称,如果 FTX 没有宣布破产,很多麻烦本来是可以避免的。破产在很大程度上已经使资金问题脱离了他的控制。(在此过程中,SBF 的 CEO 职位被 John J. Ray III 取代,John J 是一名律师,曾在能源交易公司 Enron 破产后帮助债权人追回数十亿美元。)SBF 告诉我:“(公司)的负责人出于羞愧,正试图将一切付之一炬(burn it all to the ground)。”

SBF 辩称,他应该继续努力筹集更多的资金,并坚持认为,如果他这么做了,一个月内客户就可以开始提款。《华尔街日报》本周早些时候报道了 SBF 正在努力融资,但没有发现任何投资者承诺投资的迹象。该文件还称,即使获得新的融资,也需要与外汇交易所债权人进行谈判,并获得破产法院的批准。

虽然 SBF 说他的一些同事——联合 创始人 Gary Wang 和工程总监 Nishad Sing 感到“害怕”,特别是 Nishad Sing 感到“羞愧和内疚”,但 SBF 似乎对这场崩溃保持着某种态度——世界上从来没有那么非黑即白。

FTX被黑一事

在 FTX 申请破产后不久,关注区块链交易的用户注意到有人将数亿美元转移出了该公司。我问 SBF 发生了什么。他回复是 FTX 被黑客入侵了,而这件事情要么是前员工干的,要么是前员工电脑上的恶意软件造成的,有几百个恶意软件在操作。

SBF接下来的打算

SBF 说,他现在的首要任务是设法筹集 80 亿美元,使账户持有人的利益得到保障。他告诉我,这基本上是他余生中最重要的事情。不过,尽管他说一个月前他是世界上最伟大的筹资者之一,但截至目前,FTX 所能筹集到的资金仍微不足道,没有迹象表明会有任何投资者会上钩。即使他能获得融资,也可能需要债权人和破产法院的同意。

今天早上,我给 SBF 发邮件,确认他的推特账户没被黑,对话的确实是他本人。而他的律师拒绝置评。

Report Interpretation: J.P. Morgan Details Micron's Pre-Earnings Sentiment, Current Hardware Sector Dynamics

Morgan Stanley analyst Joshua Meyers' report (June 21, 2026) highlights key trends in the hardware and semiconductor sector ahead of Micron's earnings. The core takeaways are: 1. **Micron & Memory:** Memory remains a high-conviction long theme, driven by strong AI demand and rising ASPs. However, investor focus is shifting to the sustainability of Micron's >80% gross margins and the specifics of potential new long-term supply agreements (SCAs). 2. **Hardware Supply Chain:** AI-related demand for servers, networking, and storage remains robust, but company performance is diverging. Celestica (CLS) shows improved margin confidence, Western Digital and Seagate benefit from pricing, Fabrinet (FN) sees predictable AI optics growth, and Teradyne (TER) anticipates a new Google customer. 3. **AI Capex & WFE Forecasts:** JPMorgan increased its Wafer Fab Equipment (WFE) market growth forecasts to 28% in 2026 and 29% in 2027. AI infrastructure financing is evolving, with higher project-level debt reducing constraints on capex expansion. The report signals that while the AI-driven hardware cycle is strong, the market is entering a phase focused on execution verification (e.g., Micron's SCA details, Fabrinet's ramp with Amazon) and valuation sustainability. Key near-term signals include Micron's guidance, Arista Networks' outlook, and the pace of demand normalization post potential tariff-related pull-ins.

Research Report Analysis: The Fed's New Chair's Debut – New Leader, But Same Script?

Report Analysis: Federal Reserve's New Chair Debut – A New Captain, But the Same Script? Morgan Stanley's chief global economist Seth B. Carpenter analyzes the first FOMC meeting under new Fed Chair Kevin Warsh in a June 21 report. Warsh deliberately avoided providing forward guidance on interest rates, aligning with his philosophy. However, market expectations for a rate hike this year were reinforced. Key signals lie elsewhere: inflation may fall more than expected, and quantitative tightening (QT) could be more aggressive than anticipated. The FOMC's "dot plot" suggests only one rate hike in 2026. Carpenter argues that if inflation undershoots forecasts, the logic for even a single hike weakens, especially as projections indicate potential rate cuts in 2027. On QT, Warsh's stance is clear. Carpenter notes that measures like halving the Treasury's account balance could shrink the Fed's balance sheet by around $500 billion with minimal market impact. Combined with adjustments to reserve interest and liquidity rules, the ultimate QT scale may exceed expectations, though its market effect might be less disruptive unless the Fed actively sells Mortgage-Backed Securities (MBS). While Warsh initiated a review of the Fed's policy framework, the 2% inflation target remains intact for now. The report concludes that the market may be overestimating the significance of reduced forward guidance and the near-term rate hike risk, while potentially underestimating the scope and manageable nature of the coming balance sheet reduction. The key debates will hinge on upcoming core PCE data, the specifics of the QT path, and the framework review's findings.

Critical Game Week: BTC Retracement Confirmation vs. HYPE Support Battle | Guest Analysis

This weekly analysis outlines a critical juncture for BTC and HYPE markets, focusing on key price level confirmations. **BTC Analysis:** BTC is at a pivotal point after a five-wave rally from the June 5th low of $59,100. The price has broken below a short-term rising channel's lower boundary, with the current move seen as a pullback to test this breakdown. Failure to reclaim this level could lead to a retest of the $59,000-$60,000 support zone. The core scenario hinges on this channel retest outcome. * **Key Levels:** Resistance at $64,500-$65,000 (channel boundary) and $69,500-$70,500. Support at $59,000-$60,000 and $55,000. * **Strategy:** A core bearish stance is maintained (20% short from last week), with short-term plans for tactical trades. Three detailed contingency plans (A/B/C) are provided for short positions on resistance tests or breakdowns, emphasizing strict stop-loss discipline. **HYPE Analysis:** HYPE shows strong momentum but is currently in a corrective phase after hitting a new high of $76.94. The price is retesting the crucial $64-$66 support area. * **Key Levels:** Resistance near $77 and $80-$82. Support at $64-$66 and $52-$54. * **Strategy:** The short-term approach is "buy on dips, avoid chasing rallies." A long position is considered only if clear stabilization signals appear at the $64-$66 or deeper $52-$54 support zones, with tight risk controls. **General Risk Management:** A standardized trailing stop-loss protocol is emphasized: set initial stop, breakeven at +1% profit, then trail stops upward to lock in gains. *Disclaimer: All analysis is presented as a personal trading framework, not investment advice. Market conditions are complex and require dynamic adjustment.*

How to Buy LUNA

What is $LUNA

Luna28 ($$LUNA): A Moon-Inspired Crypto Venture Introduction In the ever-evolving world of cryptocurrencies, innovation is key. Luna28 stands out as a project that not only embraces technology but also intertwines it with the mystique of cosmic cycles. Inspired by the moon's 28-day cycle, Luna28 ($$LUNA) aims to create a unique and engaging experience for its community, merging the concepts of tokenomics and lunar-themed non-fungible tokens (NFTs). At its core, this project employs a distinctive token burn mechanism aligned with lunar and solar eclipses, setting a new precedent in the crypto space. What is Luna28? Luna28 is a token-based cryptocurrency project built on the Ethereum blockchain. It seeks to offer its users a blend of cosmic engagement through a series of innovative features. Key to its identity is the launch of lunar-themed NFTs which enhance community interaction while celebrating the moon's cultural significance. The project aims to create a deeper connection between its community members and the cosmos. This connection is facilitated through a carefully crafted ecosystem that leverages lunar themes, token burns, and dynamic activities associated with celestial events. The goal is not just about enhancing token value but fostering a sense of belonging and enjoyment within the community. Creator of Luna28 The details surrounding the creator of Luna28 remain largely unknown. This lack of information has led to an air of mystery around the project, further adding to its uniqueness. The anonymous nature of its creation reflects a broader trend within the crypto industry, where the focus is often on the project and its community rather than individual profiles. Investors of Luna28 Currently, there is no publicly available information regarding the specific investment foundations or organizations that support Luna28. This aspect may indicate a grassroots initiative where the community plays a vital role in the project's development and growth. The absence of prominent investors can sometimes create a more decentralized and independent project, allowing for organic community engagement and involvement. How Does Luna28 Work? One of the most compelling aspects of Luna28 is how it operates, particularly its unique features that set it apart from other cryptocurrency projects. 1. Lunar and Solar Eclipse Token Burns Luna28 incorporates a special token burn mechanism, which involves periodically burning a portion of its token supply during lunar and solar eclipses. This approach not only creates excitement around celestial events but also works on the fundamental principle of increasing scarcity. By reducing the overall token supply through burns, the remaining tokens have the potential for increased value, benefiting all holders. 2. Tokenomics The economic structure of Luna28 is crafted to ensure sustainability and growth. Each transaction incurs a 4.4% tax: 2% contributes to the Moon Cycle Fund, which is burned every 28 days during the full moon. The remaining 2.4% is earmarked for development and marketing, facilitating the project’s expansion and continuous improvement. This tax structure establishes a steady flow of funding while maintaining a deflationary approach that can enhance the token's value proposition. 3. 100% Burned Liquidity Security and trust are paramount in any cryptocurrency project. Luna28 addresses these concerns by locking its liquidity pool tokens in a burn wallet. This ensures that liquidity is permanently secured, fostering confidence within the community as they engage with the platform. 4. NFT Drops Further enhancing community engagement, Luna28 plans to release lunar-themed NFTs. These digital collectibles not only serve as a source of fun and creativity but also offer users unique assets tied to the larger lunar theme. The introduction of NFTs reflects a growing trend in the crypto space, blending traditional forms of artistic expression with innovative technology. 5. Hyper Deflationary Token Luna28 is classified as a hyper deflationary token, emphasizing its commitment to a declining token supply through systematic burns. This design encourages long-term holding, as community members anticipate potential value growth driven by scarcity. 6. First Buyer Incentive In a bid to promote active participation, Luna28 offers a unique first buyer incentive. After each celestial burn event, the first participant in the market is rewarded with 10% of the tokens burned during that event. This encourages immediate engagement and interest surrounding each significant celestial phenomenon. 7. Sustainable Tax Structure The project's tax model is specifically designed to encourage sustainable growth, balancing the need for ongoing project development with the goal of enhancing token value. This innovative tax structure serves the dual purpose of supporting the community's interests while maintaining a healthy ecosystem for the project. Timeline of Luna28 A well-charted timeline helps in understanding the progression and milestones of Luna28. Here’s a synopsis of important events in the project’s history: Stealth Launch: The project entered the crypto arena under a stealth launch, garnering significant community interest and posting a remarkable 1792% increase from its initial listing. This initial surge indicated strong community reception and a solid foundation for future growth. Token Burns: Committing to its unique approach, Luna28 plans to burn 28% of its token supply over a three-year period, timed specifically during lunar and solar eclipses. Community members eagerly await their opportunities to participate in these events. Community Involvement: Emphasizing transparency and the importance of community feedback, Luna28 plans to notify its users in advance about upcoming token burn events. This engagement approach encourages active participation, fostering a strong sense of community. Key Features Luna28's distinctive features bolster its appeal within the cryptocurrency sector: Hyper Deflationary Nature: The project's focus on hyper deflationary mechanics enables a strategic reduction in supply, aiming for enhanced value retention. Incentives for Early Engagement: The project rewards early participants with direct benefits, which cultivates a proactive community eager to contribute. Commitment to Community Development: The sustainable tax model not only ensures the project's growth but also actively involves the community in shaping its future direction. Conclusion Luna28 represents a unique fusion of technology, community engagement, and celestial inspiration in the cryptocurrency landscape. By integrating innovative mechanisms such as token burns during astrological events and creating engaging lunar-themed NFTs, the project distinguishes itself as a trailblazer within its niche. As a community-driven endeavor, Luna28 promises to deliver not just another cryptocurrency but an experience that marries elements of cosmic fascination with blockchain technology. With its innovative features and strong emphasis on community involvement, Luna28 has the potential to create a lasting impact in the world of digital currencies. The connection it forges between its users and the universe represents not only a creative endeavor but also a brilliantly calculated business strategy poised for growth. As we observe the evolution of Luna28, it is evident that it is more than just a token; it is a concept that encourages its community to look up at the cosmos and ponder their place within it, all while navigating the exciting world of cryptocurrency. The future for Luna28 looks bright and full of potential, eagerly awaiting its next lunar cycle.

What is TERRA

Exploring the Terra Ecosystem: A Comprehensive Overview Introduction In the ever-evolving landscape of blockchain technology and cryptocurrency, the Terra Ecosystem has emerged as an ambitious project designed to facilitate a decentralized financial system. This innovative platform focuses on creating stable and scalable algorithmic stablecoins, aimed at driving the widespread adoption of cryptocurrencies. In this article, we will delve into the foundational aspects of the Terra Ecosystem, exploring its operational mechanisms, its creators, investors, notable components, and the timeline of its development. What is the Terra Ecosystem? Founded in 2018, the Terra Ecosystem is a layer-one blockchain designed to provide an efficient and reliable payment platform. The core mission of Terra is to create a preferred form of money that is not only decentralized but also practical for everyday use. At the heart of the ecosystem is its native algorithmic stablecoin, TerraUSD (UST), which is pegged to the US dollar using an innovative algorithmic mechanism. This unique approach addresses a common concern in the cryptocurrency space: the volatility that often accompanies digital assets. The Terra Ecosystem aims to enhance the usability of cryptocurrencies by creating an environment where digital currencies function similarly to traditional currencies. By being user-friendly and stable, Terra sets out to attract users outside of the crypto community, ultimately fostering mass adoption. The Creators of the Terra Ecosystem The Terra Ecosystem emerged under the guidance of its co-founders Daniel Shin and Do Kwon. Both individuals, with a wealth of experience in entrepreneurship and technology, launched Terraform Labs to spearhead this groundbreaking project. Daniel Shin, a prominent figure in the South Korean tech landscape, has co-founded multiple tech companies, while Do Kwon has an extensive background in computer science and engineering. Their partnership is pivotal in steering the development and growth trajectory of the Terra Ecosystem. Investors in the Terra Ecosystem While detailed information about specific investors remains limited, it is widely acknowledged that Terraform Labs has garnered substantial financial support from a variety of angel investors and venture capital firms. This backing provides the necessary resources for the ongoing development and expansion of the Terra Ecosystem. The emphasis on acquiring diversified investment sources reflects the strong belief in the project's potential within the cryptocurrency community. How Does the Terra Ecosystem Work? At the core of the Terra Ecosystem's functionality lies its innovative proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus mechanism. This allows holders of the LUNA token, the native currency of the ecosystem, to participate in the governance and operation of the network. The dual-token structure differentiates Terra from many other projects, with LUNA serving both as a stake for validators and as a governance token. The mechanism operates in a distinctive way, whereby the supply of LUNA backs the stablecoin UST. If the demand for UST increases, the algorithm automatically adjusts the supply of LUNA to maintain the stability of UST at its dollar peg. Users are enabled to exchange 1 UST for an equivalent value in LUNA, ensuring that fluctuations in demand do not affect the peg. This innovative approach enables the Terra Ecosystem to maintain price stability, one of its primary goals. Timeline of the Terra Ecosystem The development journey of the Terra Ecosystem has been marked by significant milestones: 2018: Establishment of Terraform Labs by Daniel Shin and Do Kwon, laying the groundwork for the Terra Ecosystem. April 2019: The initial release of the Terra blockchain, initiating its journey into the broader cryptocurrency landscape. 2021: Terra experiences remarkable growth as its total value locked (TVL) reaches new heights, positioning it as a dominant player in decentralized finance (DeFi). May 2022: A turbulent period arises as the Terra blockchain is temporarily halted following the collapse of UST and LUNA, leading to a significant impact on market perception and capitalization. January 2024: Terraform Labs files for bankruptcy, marking another critical event in the project's history, sparking discussions on the sustainability and future of the ecosystem. Key Components of the Terra Ecosystem A variety of features contribute to the unique functionality of the Terra Ecosystem: Core Functionality The Terra Ecosystem includes essential functionalities such as managing transaction fees, monitoring price fluctuations, and maintaining historical balances of transactions, all of which are crucial for ensuring user experience and operational integrity. Applications One of the flagship features of the Terra Ecosystem is its diverse array of applications. This includes: Anchor Protocol: A money market protocol that provides high stablecoin yields and tokenized stakes for users seeking to maximize returns on their investments. Mirroring Technology: Enabling users to create assets that mirror real-world assets and trades, allowing for broader use cases and applications. Chai: A payment platform designed to facilitate everyday transactions using Terra's stablecoin technology. Swaps and Exchanges The ecosystem provides functionality for seamless asset exchanges. Notable features include native swapping capabilities and platforms such as Terraswap, allowing users to exchange Terra assets efficiently while benefiting from competitive rates. Governance Governance plays a critical role in the decentralized nature of the Terra Ecosystem. Token holders use their LUNA tokens to propose changes or vote on proposals that affect the network, ensuring collective decision-making and community involvement in the ecosystem's evolution. Notable Projects in the Terra Ecosystem Beyond the core functionalities, the Terra Ecosystem is also home to notable projects that further augment its capabilities: Terraswap: This decentralized exchange (DEX) emerged to facilitate easy swapping of Terra assets, thus promoting a vibrant trading environment within the ecosystem. Astroport: Another DEX known for its high total value locked, Astroport enhances trading opportunities and liquidity provision for users. Loop Markets: This integrated exchange hub offers users a range of trading tools and services, significantly contributing to the user experience across the Terra platform. Conclusion The Terra Ecosystem stands as a significant player within the blockchain and cryptocurrency domains, aiming to create a stable and scalable financial platform designed for widespread cryptocurrency adoption. Although the ecosystem faced dramatic challenges, notably the collapse of its stablecoin UST and the LUNA token, it continues to adapt and evolve in the face of adversity. As the project navigates its future, it remains committed to its foundational vision of building practical products accessible to a broader audience, thereby reinforcing the potential of decentralized finance. The Terra Ecosystem, with its robust features and innovative approach, holds promise as it seeks to redefine the landscape of digital currency use, remaining a focal point for enthusiasts and investors alike in the ongoing evolution of blockchain technology.
