- now the gov’t is on the hook to print money to backstop them all, and may have to reverse interest rates to save the market - meanwhile, investors flee to crypto as a safe haven, while the money printer and potential lower rates mean ideal environment for risk assets (4/5)

FYI: I did NOT receive $$$ from SBF But… I’m post-scruples. My mission is ambition. I’m a void! Ethics are imaginary. Customers are NPCs. I get it! Woo! Culture fit? Orgy: First in, last out! Drugs: I’ll boof anything. I crush at stims padel So why did I get left out, Sam?!
