If he comes out the other side massively wealthy, then what was there to be "mistaken" about? You're extending an incredibly generous quantity of sympathy to someone that has absolutely not earned even a little of it. Speculating that he had an anxiety attack! I mean, really.
- sillysaurusx 4y agoIt’s not really sympathy though. From a game theory perspective, what benefit did he get from saying FTX US wouldn’t be impacted? It seems like there was negative benefit: not only did it accomplish nothing in practice, but it couldn’t have helped even theoretically. So when someone does something like that, I can’t help but speculate.
- ahelwer 4y agoIt kept some number of people from withdrawing their funds from FTX US yesterday, leaving more money in the pot to return to other stakeholders. This has nothing to do with game theory, what would that even mean!?

- sillysaurusx 4y agoOh, good point. Thanks!
- yunohn 4y agoAh yes, yet another “game theory” perspective. Seriously, what is it with crypto enthusiasts and making everything about game theory? What does it even mean in reality?
