| 2024-01-10 | billymg | cgra: one of my favorites is the one generated back in 2014, which held pretty well until the FTX shenanigans |
| 2023-11-21 | signpost | could've been, yep. FTX was certainly funneling money to the right people. |
| 2023-11-21 | billymg | i saw binance as being a CCP proxy as much as FTX was for USG. the FTX sinking looked like a blow to usg |

| 2023-06-21 | awt | Good question. Certainly not the margin traders that got wiped out on ftx. |
| 2023-05-12 | billymg | pleb -> ftx (one hand) -> usg.irs (other hand) |
| 2023-03-20 | signpost | FTX as the glimmering turd counterexample |

| 2022-12-12 | bitbot | Logged on 2022-12-12 15:15:48 awt: I don't know if ftx even qualifies as a gox. Doesn't fit into the waterfal model. They don't have any btc to crash the market with. |

| 2022-12-12 | billymg | asciilifeform: likewise, only pointing out how obvious it is what the doj actually cares about: steal money from plebs (FTX) -- "a ok, great work"; let some plebs trade shitcoins without first providing blood sample and retinal scan (binance) -- "money laundering!" |
| 2022-12-12 | awt | Lol who popped ftx tho? Not usg. |
| 2022-12-06 | signpost | not solely FTX but especially them |
| 2022-12-06 | signpost | curious where we'd be if the demand on FTX had flowed into actual BTC |
| 2022-11-18 | phf | asciilifeform, i've not tried assembling a definitive guide to all the ftx lulz, but i'll maybe go back over the posts i read or if something new comes up |
| 2022-11-18 | phf | i don't know, it's turning into one of those ascii threads, where you're trying to convince readers of something entirely unrelated, because you have some point to make. i'm saying /i/ find the ftx amusing because i already found all kinds of extra details, that go beyond the model that you have verbalized n-times already |
| 2022-11-18 | asciilifeform | ftx per this model worked for (1) for coupla yrs, then when req'd -- (2). ) |
| 2022-11-15 | signpost | if you're just trying to kill FTX sure, but if you're trying to maximally dirty your adversary in the eyes of future BRICS++ members, whore house needs to do some volume before you break it open. |
| 2022-11-15 | asciilifeform | '...FTX appears to have literally stolen customers money in something that is more analagous to a breaking-and-entering. Some people have reported that FTX attempted to drain their bank accounts via Circle, which may or may not be true but will likely be underdiscussed' etc |
| 2022-11-15 | asciilifeform | '...the report that FTX pushed a malicious OTA update to users mobile devices around midnight on a Friday; this update appears to have exfiltrated users’ private keys, meaning that the funds were stolen off of the users’ devices. Rather than just turning off the lights and freezing the accounts without explanation,..' |
| 2022-11-15 | billymg | awt: the chart posted above, afaik, would not include those ftx "coins" in the total though, as the way it is calculated is by summing the balances of known exchange addresses on chain |
| 2022-11-15 | awt | It appears that nearly all btc traded on ftx was paper. |
| 2022-11-14 | crtdaydreams | in moar ftx gags, apparently feigning twatter hack? |
| 2022-11-13 | billymg | i've seen everything from "the FTX collapse illustrates why you should store your coins on 'safe' exchanges that don't offer yield" to "the FTX collapse illustrates why all centralized exchanges will ultimately fail, which is why we should migrate to ethereum and use decentralized exchanges!" |
| 2022-11-13 | billymg | it's also been interesting (but not surprising) to see the sheer volume of bots/shills desperately trying to get everyone to draw the wrong conclusions from the FTX collapse |
| 2022-11-12 | crtdaydreams | In more ftx lulz, claims of being 'hacked' |
| 2022-11-10 | shinohai | "Tether reportedly begins freezing $USDT addresses owned by FTX at the request of law enforcement" <<< LMAO! |
| 2022-11-08 | awt | And binance acquires ftx |
| 2022-11-08 | shinohai | lol @ ftx "Bitcoin has no future as a payments network!" Guess that's why they hafta halt withdraws today. |
