Let’s just say @SBF_Alameda was lied to about what “Tradjng Day” was gonna be
“We host the world’s best athletes and the world’s best entertainers, and we’re thrilled to welcome FTX”
“I may be the shortest one here”
“Being able to get here is synonymous with being able to get where we’re going”
I love beating witness to all this and to sharing in it to whatever extent I do, but more than that I love watching my friend @SBF_Alameda fucking kill it every time:
^that was typo-ridden huh
Surreal

Last year, when @SBF_FTX announced that Caroline and I were Alameda's co-CEOs, the goal for all involved was to bring titles in line with reality -- the two of us had been acting as CEOs for quite some time, and we wanted our outside image to reflect that.
It's with the same goal that I'm announcing today that I am stepping down as co-CEO of Alameda Research -- @carolinecapital will continue on as Alameda's CEO. I will stay on as an advisor, but otherwise will not continue to have a strong day-to-day presence at the company.
Reminder, “sold” and “will sell” are not the same just like “bought” and “will buy” are not the same; typical discourse around this kind of thing tends to be almost totally flipped (not investment advice etc etc)
When people hear “X bought” they tend to have thoughts like “buying means UP” (and sometimes follow-on effects exist! so it’s not all wrong) but they tend not to remember “oh and maybe they’ll sell eventually”
Position closing doesn’t have that latter effect so I tend to think of it as basically nothing in terms of expected move for fundamental reasons
why can't every game that has:
- creatures / minions / characters / etc.
- health / toughness / etc.
- power / attack / etc.
just pick one of those terms to use industry-wide?
@StorybookBrawl has joined the ranks of games which plague me in this specific way
creature / attack / health is definite the best combo but i'm not sure any game uses all 3 of them
i couldn't actually tell you though because i can never remember which it's called in a given game
There's been some chatter about the recent @StargateFinance auction, and I wanted to clarify a few things about Alameda's involvement.
First off: we did indeed buy all the tokens. We love the team and what they're doing, and we believe this space and the technology they're building is really important.
The cross-chain asset management opens up a wide array of possible DeFi use cases, makes capital allocation for firms like Alameda more seamless, and aids in making the crypto markets more efficient -- among many other benefits @StargateFinance is creating.
Obviously, the big story lately has been Russia/Ukraine -- I don't have anything new to say about the conflict itself, but global markets, including crypto, have mostly revolved around this for the past few weeks.
So any price impact from Biden's executive order does need to be considered in context:
- it's important to separate out price impact from e.g. crypto's SPY beta
- it's important to consider how Russia/Ukraine might have influenced the EO (and opinion of it)
I initiated a wire and @Chase canceled it and locked my account due to suspicious activity until I call them, and the wait time is 90 minutes! I'm so happy my funds are protected.
Update: they called me back after 80 minutes, immediately transferred me to a 20 minute-long hold, and when someone answered they immediately hung up.
Part of their identify verification process was me giving them a phone number and then them sending a code to the number I just told them? What?
