CoinDesk recently laid off some of its finest reporters and editors covering crypto, which sucks. But at least we’re not as low as Sam Bankman-Fried, the disgraced founder of FTX, who was recently thrown in one of the worst penitentiaries in the U.S. after abusing the conditions of his bail. In a nod to SBF and his former girlfriend and colleague Caroline Ellison, CoinDesk decided to memorialize some of the things we’re freaking out about. These include the DeGods airdrop, the SEC’s lack of understanding of how to regulate crypto, job security, air-conditioning, air travel, mold at MDC, saying goodbye, getting replaced by Grammarly, wasted time on hype around things like AI and LK-99, humanity’s collective hours spent on YouTube, the death of print, the death of a mint plant, inbox overload, Shibarium’s bridge, a billion dollars liquidated in a flash crash, Jiminy Cricket, Bryan Johnson’s lithium intake, Zeke Faux’s pig-butchering schemes, white noise podcasts, Elon Musk’s accidental public tweets, how to get a Polygon grant, how to build a personal website with cool crypto features, how to do FedNow/Dropp micropayments, and life’s imponderables.
