Crypto says it can replace that pesky human stuff (trust) with computer code, but that is a lie because you can’t trust code, only the people that write it. Sam Bankman-Fried stole his customers money by changing the code inside FTX. www.reuters.com/technology/h...
Exclusive: How a secret software change allowed FTX to use client money
FTX's chief engineer tweaked the code to exempt Alameda Research from a feature that would have automatically sold off its assets if it was losing too much borrowed money.

Yes, all currencies are made up and a collective hallucination to a degree, but that’s because money is a social construct and only as strong as the societal trust that underlies it.

No trouble at all. The difference is that crypto is not backed by the full faith and credit of the United States, in the case of the dollar, or any other sovereign nation’s credibility.

So what happens if ETF investors want to shed another $10 billion? Are there really $10 billion worth of buyers out there? MSTR had only $2.25 billion of cash left as of last count. If that’s all the dry powder left to prop up Bitcoin, watch out…🍿🍿🍿

In early October 2025, they stopped and reversed course. Since then investors have sold ~$10 billion of crypto via the ETFs. The price of Bitcoin has plunged >40% in that time.

Crypto has always followed a bubble/crash cycle. The difference this time is that it’s actually tied into the liquidity of the global equity markets via crypto ETFs. The amount of actual $ in these ETFs dwarfs the largest single player in crypto in terms of bitcoin holdings, MSTR.
