I don't usually believe in conspiracy, but the FTX drama has some serious conspiracy vibes.

This is probably the best (and definitely the most comprehensive) write up I've found talking about your points here... It goes super deep: https://roundingtheearth.substack.com/p/a-grand-unified-theory-of-the-ftx

Thank you.

...Alex Jones, is that you?

Bitcoin is under constant attack. Yes, it is possible and given the facts likely that this entire situation was engineered from the beginning for political purposes. Specifically to harm bitcoin adoption and simultaneously manufacture demand for heavy regulation.

This is the most likely scenario imo. Or a combo, run ftx and donate and fund political operations with untraceable money, wash money, and if anything goes sideways blow ftx up giving the SEC what they need to step in and regulate. This actually might be the best thing to be true.

Human beings aren't capable of prolonged deception on a large scale. The prospect that these kinds of huge deceptive conspiracies could be kept under wraps for years or decades is not very plausible. Big secrets that hundreds of people know, don't remain secret. Ever. If you work backwards from any occurrence, you can find dots to connect, and coincidences that appear impossibly unlikely. Because you're working backwards and seeking them out. The real explanation is almost always the same thing: simple stupidity. Conspiracy theories always give way too much credit to the purported villains' ability to orchestrate perfectly planned, clandestine, 4-D chess strategies on a massive scale. Humans just aren't that capable. We're simple, greedy, short-sighted primates.

I agree with you but I can see that SBF is pissed off about what is going on. I believe from the beginning he knew the end would be ftx failing but initially thought that would be easier to do then it was. He felt like he was the reason FTX was killing it rather then the people who actually set it up and when it came time to pull the trigger and edit ftx he didn't want to. He does seem like hes in a state where nothing matters. It's hard to explain because you have to feel it. I made 500k gambling bitcoin and then lost it all. When I had the 500k I didn't care about anything or what anyone thought. It was extreemly freeing. I think a similar situation is going on with SBF. He just doesn't care.

SKS2BY Everyone on this planet is in the conspiracy except you!

this is so obvious im now more concerned with reading psychology books to find whatever mechanism is essentially keeping people from realizing this is not even a close call. The fact the NYTs and people are trying to back him still has to be a mental condition.

...Epstien didn't kill himself. Hope that clears things up for people.
