This week saw FTX shrink from $32 billion of value to zero in less than 48 hours. @TheInformation is doing great reporting. It seems the ill-named founder @SBF_FTX - Sam Bankman-Fried - invested hundreds of millions into Sequoia and other funds. The @SECGov failure to provide a regulatory framework for Crypto seems even more silly. But @DavidKirkpatric and @LHSummers provide a thoughtful distraction from the noise.

Twitter is complicated. And this week it has attracted intense and emotional attention from a wide spectrum of opinions. The standoff between @AOC and @ElonMusk on his intent to charge $8 a month for the Twitter blue tick is symbolic of a wider debate. @karaswisher, @waltmossberg and @davidsacks all weigh in. @HamishMckenzie of @Substack also has an angle.
