6) Maybe it's part of being an underdog industry, but there really is a strong sense of being in this together. That we're working to move the space, and the world, forward, and we're happy when others do that too. There are partisans, but honestly they're the exception.

7) People move companies, sometimes, and that's ok. If someone works at FTX but would be happier and more productive and valuable at

8) This movement happens, now and then, at Wall St firms, but it's often acrimonious, not cooperative. I think it wasn't until we got to a certain size that I realized the extent to which we really did have to be good stewards of crypto.

10) Part of the goal was to directly find things to cooperate on. But part was to prove that we can have calls to talk about cooperation. To prove to each other that, when the time comes, we'll pick up the phone, and be respectful and constructive.

12) I do take solace in the fact that

don't try to exploit protocols; that they consider themselves stewards of the ecosystem as well. And when they can work together to make it better, they do.

13) But exploits aren't specific to crypto, either. Have you ever seen a fund whose shares over time graph looks like this?

14) The point, in the end, is: Some of us are competing with each other. It would be silly to pretend otherwise, and in the end that matters. But we're also working together to try to make the crypto industry one that can take off.

15) There are some who aren't interested in cooperation or partnerships; or might say they are, but will defect whenever they can. That sucks. But there are more who _are_ interested in working together than there are those who aren't.

16) I'd like to think we'd be there for our counterparties, our customers, and even our competitors, when they really need us. I'd like to think others would, too. It's one of the most powerful reasons that crypto has grown so much, so quickly.

Much respect. Im working hard to try and break into the space. I think we all know it will grow so much that all success is good success. The pie will grow so fast that everyone here will benefit exponentially for each step crypto takes as a whole.

Insightful, but the qualification to trade leverage on FTX, should come with a forced learning programme/course. Your platform is a few seconds delayed fm Coinbase etc, so realistically u need to watch other sites to successfully trade at leverage as retail, Doesn’t make sense..

crypto is 10x more open source. I've tried to get web api for FCM that shall go unnamed for Micro BTC CME contracts/CL/NG. Not pleasant, one wanted 17 grand. Many don't have api.
