@v_bnbchain replies with same numbers. Sorry it takes a thread but it's Twitter.
1 - we seem agreed these ran with closed source governance ~2yr. A good faith effort to fix that is now underway. @zorobytes, who I guess is a team member, has also been v helpful.

You should have 3 wallets
- One wallet where you only buy and try things out in
- One wallet which is sent the things that have been tried and researched for a while
- The final wallet which is usually never seen anywhere

1. Yesterday @openai shared code for a simple GPT-powered Discord-bot.
@Gradio also just updated Spaces to have Discord-bot support.
If you’re building an AI startup and not thinking about launching via Discord, here’s why you probably should.

This powerful new model has the potential to revolutionize the way hundreds of millions of knowledge workers do their jobs.

Almost no one seems to realize that the head of bioethics at NIH – the person who is supposed to make sure that Fauci behaves ethically – is his wife 🧐

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This is a common misunderstanding of the purpose of the NIH bioethics department. It is the department of the agency that conducts research into bioethical issues. It is not an internal oversight department for monitoring or policing ethics of NIH employees, and never has been.

A detailed review by @matt_levine showing how FTX counterfeited billions via made-up crypto-tokens backed by air & insider trading.
"Of that $19.6 billion of assets ... some $14.4 billion was in more-or-less FTX-associated tokens (FTT, SRM, SOL, MAPS)."

The Definitive Thread on FTX
I met SBF before FTX started, and witnessed their rise and fall. I can't stand @nytimes's puff piece.
If anyone wants to know what happened, send them this.

FTX aside, avoid businesses/exchanges/projects that:
- are not profitable (musical chairs)
- survive by selling their own tokens
- give high incentives for locking your tokens
- have a large total supply, but only a small circulation supply
- involves loans
Stay #SAFU 🙏

1/ I found evidence that FTX might have provided a massive bailout for Alameda in Q2 which now came back to haunt them.
40 days ago, 173 million FTT tokens worth over 4B USD became active on-chain.
A rabbit hole appeared 🧵👇

How Binance’s CZ starting the rumor about FTX, causing a liquidity collapse, and then acquiring the FTX is STRAIGHT out of the playbook of Rockefeller and Vanderbilt🧵👇:
