For this week’s episode, we’re chatting with Sam Bankman-Fried. He’s a 29-year-old vegan living in Hong Kong. Oh, and he’s also a crypto billionaire with a huge cult following of fans around the world. Sam is the founder of two impressive companies: Alameda and FTX. His claim to fame came after capitalizing on the South Korean crypto kimchi premium (not the fermented food) and building FTX. Founded just a few years ago in 2017, FTX is one of the fastest growing digital asset exchanges in the world. I’ve had my eye on FTX for a while now and was excited to sit down with Sam to get his thoughts on the state of crypto markets and where he sees it going. In this week’s episode, Sam and I talk about his background, how he gets it all done, his preferred way to relax, living in Hong Kong versus the United States, stablecoins (and why they matter), crypto, defi, blockchain, derivatives, regulations, who he looks up to in the crypto space, and more. Enjoy! Guest - Sam Bankman-Fried, Founder and CEO of FTX howardlindzon.com, ftx.com Twitter: @howardlindzon, @SBF_Alameda, @FTX_Official, @knutjensen, @Nikita_Arora17 https://www.linkedin.com/in/sam-bankman-fried-8367a346 #fintech #invest #investment #venturecapital #stockmarket #finance
