As another kingpin falls, what’s next for crypto?

At the start of November, Sam Bankman-Fried was convicted. After weeks of complex testimony, the jury took just four hours to find him guilty of defrauding customers and investors out of billions of dollars. Things looked like they couldn’t get anymore dramatic–- until they did. Just a few weeks later, with Sam awaiting sentencing, a second kingpin was also toppled. In a sweeping settlement with the Department of Justice, Changpeng Zhao, or CZ, pled guilty to failing to prevent money laundering and stepped down as CEO of Binance. In this episode, host Tom Wright delves into the downfall of two of the biggest names in crypto. With help from crypto investigator James Block, entrepreneur Margaux Avedisian, and Wall Street Journal reporter Angus Berwick, Tom unravels the details of CZ’s plea deal with regulators and the fate of Binance, and asks: what’s next for crypto?

“He is somebody who likes double or nothing coin flips – and this is basically his last coin flip.”

Since kicking off on October 3, the trial of Sam Bankman-Fried has generated headlines around the world. It’s produced hours of witness testimony and endless reams of evidence – but what do you really need to know? In this bonus episode, managing producer Megan Dean talks to reporter Tracy Wang about the biggest bombshells to hit the courtroom during the prosecution, including the “jaw-dropping” testimony of former Alameda Research CEO, Caroline Ellison. Plus, with Sam Bankman-Fried’s lawyers likely to launch his defense in the coming days, we hear from federal criminal defense attorney Ken White on their potential strategy – and what could happen if Sam takes the witness stand.

With FTX’s debts spiraling and Alameda’s books a blackhole, Sam needs to bring in more cash fast to keep the two companies afloat. But CZ has been biding his time — and he’s done tolerating Sam’s backstabbing. When CoinDesk publishes an explosive article exposing Alameda’s financials, CZ seizes the opportunity for revenge, sending shockwaves through the market and triggering panic. As investors scramble to retrieve their assets, Sam is hit with charges of wire fraud, securities fraud, and intent to defraud the U.S. government.

Life’s a beach for Sam — he moves FTX to the Bahamas just as China starts cracking down on crypto and lands a jaw-dropping $200 million funding deal with Sequoia Capital. He attracts the backing of Wall Street financier and one-time Trump White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci and throws a glitzy conference featuring former presidents and celebrities. But as FTX's popularity soars, financial irregularities begin to emerge, and the truth behind Sam’s empire starts to unravel.

Sam spends hundreds of millions to buy name recognition and political influence for FTX in the U.S. — and suddenly his upstart crypto exchange is everywhere, from the Miami Heat’s arena to the halls of Congress. Football stars, models, and TV personalities endorse the FTX brand. It’s part of Sam’s plan to pitch himself as the squeaky-clean face of American crypto, in contrast to the Chinese-Canadian CZ, whom Sam paints as a foreign spy. But Sam’s got a secret.

Sam moves Alameda Research’s headquarters from Berkeley to Hong Kong to take advantage of the unregulated crypto market there. Caroline comes along for the ride, struggling to manage the stress of he r new job. Sam pitches investors on a new idea: a crypto exchange called FTX that will offer all kinds of risky crypto products. After all, why bet in the casino when you can own it?

Starting his career at a secretive Wall Street firm, Sam learns to gamble and is praised for taking big risks. He embraces Effective Altruism, a movement aimed at doing “the most good,” and starts “earning to give” big donations to charity. He strikes out on his own to found a trading firm, Alameda Research, and exploit bitcoin price differences between Japan and the US — but is his origin story of immense arbitrage profits really all it’s cracked up to be? When staff quit in protest over his ethics, Sam doubles down and turns to an old friend from his Wall Street days to serve as his loyal lieutenant: Caroline Ellison.

Two cryptocurrency titans, Sam Bankman-Fried, the founder of FTX, and Changpeng Zhao, also known as CZ, the founder of Binance, face off in an epic struggle for the soul of crypto – a battle that will result in eight felony charges and a $32 billion meltdown just a few years later. When they first meet in Singapore in 2019, Sam approaches CZ as a mentor — but soon turns on him to build wealth and political influence.

In this episode of "The Week Ahead," Tony Nash hosts guests Doomberg and Albert Marko to discuss two key topics: stagflation in 2024 and the ongoing clash between Binance and the SEC. 

Tony highlights the survey results showing significant concern among respondents regarding stagflation. Albert discusses the impact of economic and political policies on persistent inflation and believes that the stagflation argument may be more of a "stagflation light" scenario due to the resilience of the service industry and ongoing market rallies. Tony adds additional points, including the IBD economic optimism index remaining below expectations and signs of cracks in the middle-class economy. They acknowledge that inflationary pressures, rising prices, and elevated interest rates contribute to declining optimism and a challenging economic landscape. 

Doomberg provides insights into the counterintuitive inflationary effects of rapid interest rate hikes and discusses potential impacts on oil prices due to changes in the US shale industry and rising housing costs. He suggests that global stagflation in regions like China and Europe could have a spill-over effect on the US economy. 

The conversation also covers arguments against deflation, with Albert highlighting wage inflation as a factor preventing deflation. They discuss the challenges of US debt, the impact of inflation on household costs, and potential signs of deflation in the commercial real estate sector. 

Shifting to the energy sector, they discuss the potential impact of stagflation on energy, mentioning challenges faced by the oil industry if prices fall below $65. They highlight the tight supply of oil and gasoline, contradicting claims of low demand, and discuss the role of electric vehicles and the divergence between physical and paper markets. 

In the cryptocurrency industry segment, Tony and Doomberg address the legal issues surrounding Binance and Coinbase. They discuss accusations of unregistered securities and criminal activities by these platforms. They emphasize the potential consequences of disregarding rules in the cryptocurrency industry and the need for stronger regulatory action. 

The discussion concludes with a focus on the recent actions of the SEC in relation to the cryptocurrency market. They discuss the challenges of regulation, the susceptibility of the regulatory apparatus to corruption and political forces, and the erosion of trust in the SEC. They also highlight the need to address pump-and-dump schemes and the potential expansion of investigations into the venture capital space. 

Key themes: 

1. Stagflation in 2024 
2. Binance & the SEC

This week we cover the decline of confidence in Cryptocurrency and how it is very similar to the decline of vaping. We also cover the ridiculous side of Chat GPT-4 and how A.I. tries to hit on Shiva. And of course, that guy who says. "YOGA!" in Street Fighter II.

Bitcoin is permissionless, decentralized, and transparent. Fiat currency is centrally planned, permissioned, and decisions are made behind closed doors. Many believe in order for Bitcoin to fully reach its potential, it should never be regulated, controlled or monitored by governments. Others believe that in order for bitcoin to reach the level of global adoption it needs, it must be integrated into the existing financial system. Ana de Sousa has seen both sides of the coin. She lived through inflation in Brazil, found bitcoin, and went on to work at the Federal Reserve - the world’s biggest central bank. Ana joins Mauricio to share how she made her way from Brazil to being chosen as the cryptocurrency expert at the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco.

Since 2009 when the first decentralized cryptocurrency, Bitcoin came into view, the world has been mesmerized by the topic. We hear new jargon such as Blockchain, Bitcoin, stablecoin, mining, smart contracts, crypto exchanges. What does all this mean? The history and other crypto jargon can be explained in a book I read recently on what this new digital currency is about. The name of the book, Cryptocurrency-How Digital Money Could Transform Finance.

For more people to find bitcoin and continue to use it, we need to better understand how it is being used today and what purpose it is serving. Assumptions and anecdotes have been used in the past but as the industry grows, more qualitative and quantitative research is needed. The Open Money Initiative is an example of the type of research that produced very insightful findings on how real people were using Bitcoin in Venezuela and other South American countries. The project was co-founded by Alejandro Machado, a Venezuelan that is one of the 6.1 million migrants that have left since authoritarianism took over the country. Alejandro joins Maruicio to share why he decided to leave Venezuela, how he found bitcoin, and what he discovered through his research project, the Open Money Initiative.

Jasper (@misterdonnl) heeft een lastige keuze gemaakt: deze "Beleggen in Innovatie" podcast stopt.

Een wijze man zei ooit "kiezen voor, is kiezen tegen". De keuze om twee wekelijkse podcasts te maken zorgt voor ontbreken van focus. Na een moeilijke afweging is ervoor gekozen om te focussen op de podcast "De Lange Termijn", waar iedere donderdag - samen met Twan - de week en onze beslissingen besproken worden. Mijn ideeën over beleggen in innovatie verschuiven naar die podcast.

Everyone’s Bitcoin journey begins in a unique way. Some people are looking for protection against hyperinflation. Others might need Bitcoin to make a payment across borders while many are simply looking to diversify their investments. For Peter McCormack, the host and creator of What Bitcoin Did, there was a very practical reason to first use Bitcoin. He needed to help his mother. But that isn’t where his Bitcoin journey stopped. Like many of the guest’s of this show, he went down the Bitcoin rabbit hole, started his now famous podcast and even became an owner of a sports franchise. Peter joins Mauricio to talk about how he first used Bitcoin to buy the help his mother needed, how he started his podcast and why he believes it has become such a success.
