Although FTX was a crypto exchange the crimes committed were not dependent on blockchain technology. FTX is a company and was holding money and assets for its clients. It's somewhat similar to what Bernie Madoff did to his clients, before crypto was relevant.

Blockchain based cryptocurrency isn't going anywhere anytime soon. This will remind people to take self custody of their crypto and not leave it on an exchange.

Just like cash is a crime magnet, so is Crypto at rest, and for the same reason.

If anything, Crypto is easier to track and stop the looting, compared to if someone left a key to a warehouse containing a billion dollars in cash in it with no security cameras, which is what FTX seems to have managed to do.

Every time a run across an episode of this podcast I am inclined to press play, often when I've never even heard of the guest. Yes his voice is very monotone but I find it calming. He challenges his guests with philosophical questions while most interviewers stick to the subject material. He adds just enough humor to lighten the mood, but not too much to derail the conversation. He takes that extra second before speaking to make sure his response or next question is genuine.

Lex, since you disagree with Joe Rogan's advice on not reading the comments, I know there's a slight possibility that you read this. I want to thank you for the fulfilling content, congratulate you on your success as a podcast host, and tell you that you are an inspirational person.

I'm surprised to see so many people taking this seriously. This product is scheduled for release sometime in April. Let's consider the possibility that the release date could be April 1st. /hint
