From the #1 best-selling author of The Big Short and Flash Boys, the story of FTX’s spectacular collapse and the enigmatic founder at its center.
When Michael Lewis first met him, Sam Bankman-Fried was the world’s youngest billionaire and crypto’s Gatsby. CEOs, celebrities, and leaders of small countries all vied for his time and cash after he catapulted, practically overnight, onto the Forbes billionaire list. Who was this rumpled guy in cargo shorts and limp white socks, whose eyes twitched across Zoom meetings as he played video games on the side?
In Going Infinite Lewis sets out to answer this question, taking readers into the mind of Bankman-Fried, whose rise and fall offers an education in high-frequency trading, cryptocurrencies, philanthropy, bankruptcy, and the justice system. Both psychological portrait and financial roller-coaster ride, Going Infinite is Michael Lewis at the top of his game, tracing the mind-bending trajectory of a character who never liked the rules and was allowed to live by his own―until it all came undone.

For example, they all professed to care about "humanity," while at the same time often being a bit slow to love actual people. "It doesn't really start with people," said George. "It starts with suffering. It's about preventing suffering. They care about animals in the same way. They also care about not having the earth blown up by an asteroid. But it's not a longing for a connection." (查看原文)

这本书甚至比Flash Boys离我的生活还要近。它或许是到目前为止试图描写js最多的一本书，尽管里面有很多添油加醋的成分。看到那么多熟悉的名字从眼前飘过，头皮时常发麻。阅读体验中最震惊的一刻或许是打开封皮，看到背后巨型org chart的那一刹那——所有那些离开js去到ftx的人几乎都在上面。I don’t know Sam nearly well enough to judge his int...这本书甚至比Flash Boys离我的生活还要近。它或许是到目前为止试图描写js最多的一本书，尽管里面有很多添油加醋的成分。看到那么多熟悉的名字从眼前飘过，头皮时常发麻。阅读体验中最震惊的一刻或许是打开封皮，看到背后巨型org chart的那一刹那——所有那些离开js去到ftx的人几乎都在上面。I don’t know Sam nearly well enough to judge his intent, but at some point you have to know that under certain changed assumptions a tested and tried model would no longer work.(展开)

Lewis seemed to see Sam as a modern-day Gatsby. Unusual and gifted from a very young age, made his way into the world while gripping tightly to his unique belief, a mansion full of people but would immediately turn empty the moment he collapsed - and all th...

SBF bio, trying to be great but ends up notoriously. I don't believe they don't have real time pnl monitoring. Maybe they got accumulated huge loss, too fucked up ego not admitting, and deceitful acts began. You can't buy me innocent bullshiting EA, funds m...

“专业”在硬科学外是不是真就是一种幻觉？

极端利他主义的理想很丰满，但本质上是一种认为现有智慧能预测所有未来的傲慢。在这个世界上彻底贯彻下去，必然会导致灾难。

一群幼稚的小天才试图改变世界结果翻车的故事。刘易斯的立场是偏向于SBF没有存心欺诈的，对FTX破产后接手的团队也持偏负面的态度，EA运动打着为全世界做好事的幌子来赚钱，显示的却是小天才们的傲慢和伪善。Constance Wang是FTX最早的员工之一且为集团的COO，拿到的股票却只是和她相同level的白人男性同事们的零头，是在西方corporate culture下性别和种族偏见最好的展现。Ca... 一群幼稚的小天才试图改变世界结果翻车的故事。刘易斯的立场是偏向于SBF没有存心欺诈的，对FTX破产后接手的团队也持偏负面的态度，EA运动打着为全世界做好事的幌子来赚钱，显示的却是小天才们的傲慢和伪善。Constance Wang是FTX最早的员工之一且为集团的COO，拿到的股票却只是和她相同level的白人男性同事们的零头，是在西方corporate culture下性别和种族偏见最好的展现。Caroline Ellison出生在中上阶层家庭，有着不输于男性的数理天赋，为什么还会在亲密关系中反复被伤害和剥削？也许最早认罪且作为证人指认SBF也是她的一种复仇方式。希望她能有成长，在接受她应得的惩罚后过得更好。 (展开)
