While some of it is sensitive, I thought I'd share a redacted version of it here.
2) NOT INVESTMENT ADVICE
3) Writing investor updates for FTX is uniquely weird, because so much of the business is publicly available.
If you want to know about our trading volumes, that’s public. If you want to know about our revenue -- well, you can mostly back it out from the FTT burns.
1) We're really sorry about the messages today on Blockfolio.
We've also now figured out what happened. Here's the story.
2) First, we should have had stricter controls on which accounts could push signal updates. This is our fault, and earlier tonight we significantly increased the old security around it, moving it closer to in line with the security we have around trading functionality.
3) There were about 30 minutes of off and on availability issues while we completely purged all of the offensive content from the system; beyond that, @blockfolio remained online today.
2) No trading features/funds/etc. were at risk. Those are part of a totally separate part of the system and are in line with FTX's standards.
The affected portion was around display and news/Signal.
3) Over the next month I'll be leading a security review of the old, non-trading-related parts of Blockfolio to bring them in line with the standards set by trading, and by FTX more generally.
2) I'm really excited with the growth that FTX has had over the past years--from a brand new startup to the fourth largest crypto exchange in the world.
But in the end making money isn't what matters; it's what you do with it.
3) I originally got into crypto so that I could have positive impact on the world, donating what I make.
And I'm proud to say that a number of our team members have donated tens of millions of dollars over the last few years to some of the world's most effective charities.
