Sam Bankman-Fried

Quotes

• “I got involved in crypto without any idea what crypto was... It just seemed like there was a lot of good trading to do.”
• “I would never read a book... I'm very skeptical of books. I don’t want to say no book is ever worth reading, but I actually do believe something pretty close to that, I think, if you wrote a book, you fucked up, and it should have been a six-paragraph blog post.”
