د سیلیکون ویلی سوسیالیست: سیم بانکمن فریډ
"خلک داسې واک غواړي چې دوی ته ووایي چې څنګه شیانو ته ارزښت ورکړي، مګر دوی دا واک غوره کوي نه د حقایقو یا پایلو پراساس - دوی دا غوره کوي ځکه چې دا مستند یا پیژندل شوی ښکاري."
-مایکل لیوس، لوی لنډ.
نامتو لیکوال مایکل لیویس خپل کتاب خپور کړ لامحدود ته ځي: د نوي ټیکون عروج او زوال، on the rise and fall of FTX on the first day of the trial of its notorious founder Sam Bankman-Fried (Bankman-Fried). The book has met with heavy criticism by commentators for its seemingly favorable portrayal of the millennial crypto founder.
دا مسخره ده ځکه چې په اصل کې د بانکمن فریډ کیسه یو پخوانی ښوونځی دی، لوی لنډ- د یو امتیاز لرونکي لوبغاړي کیسه کیسه چې د خپلې ګټې لپاره یې زموږ د ټولنې وړاندوینه وکړه چې د خلکو په اړه د ارزښت قضاوت وکړي نه د دوی د تعقیب ریکارډ له امله -- یا لکه څنګه چې لیویس وویل ، "حقایق" -- - بلکه د یوې سیټ پراساس د هوریسټیک او د "پیچلي" خلکو څخه تصویب.
د بانکمن - فریډ وړتیا چې هغه کسان قانع کړي چې موږ یې زموږ د ټولنې "سمارټ خلک" په توګه باور لرو -- په شمول د لیوس په شمول -- عجیب دی. خو دوی ولې د هغه لپاره راوتلي؟
شاید، دا ځکه چې بانکمن فریډ هغه څوک و چې دوی یې پوهیدل. هغه یو داخلي و، چا چې د دوی په څیر - کریپټو د یوې ټولنې په توګه ولیدل چې دوی کولی شي پانګه اچونه وکړي، د تغذیې لپاره د اکوسیستم پرځای.

Fortune Magazine in د دوی پروفایل of Bankman-Fried, wrote that the Bay Area native doesn’t look like the most powerful man in crypto. But is that really true?
If anything, a 20-something year-old man oozing social awkwardness, an MIT degree, and poor fashion-sense is the wet dream of many a modern “sophisticated” tech investor. Bankman-Fried could easily be a character on the HBO show سیلیکون ویلی
اوس دا د هغه د زیږون حق سره یوځای کړئ – – دوه والدین چې د سوداګرۍ په عصري بیسیلیکا کې د قانون پروفیسوران دي – – د سټینفورډ پوهنتون ، او تاسو د عصري پانګوالۍ نږدې مسیحي شخصیت لرئ.
One need not look further than the praise given to him by Kevin O’Leary, saying “I'm a big advocate for Sam because he has two parents that are compliance lawyers." the Shark Tank investor said په 2022.
O’Leary continued: “If there's ever a place I could be that I'm not going to get in trouble, it's going to be at FTX.” We later found out that the Canadian investor was paid close to a million dollars an hour to be a public spokesperson for Bankman-Fried.
مګر د بانکمن - فریډ د ویاړونو هاخوا ، د پلور اصلي ټکی چې د پانګوالو پام یې ځان ته اړولی و د بانکمین فریډ ماموریت و.
نه "مؤثره پرهیزګاري" –– په رجحان کې ګډون کول، غلط احساساتي حرکتونه یقینا د اشرافو تمویل کونکو لپاره د بازارموندنې ښه اقدام دی. مګر، هغه څه چې واقعیا یې د هغه پانګه اچوونکي خوښ کړل د هغه باور و چې کریپټو یو جدي صنعت نه و چې د جوړولو وړ وي، بلکه د قمار کونکو څخه د پیسو د کڅوړې د اخیستلو لپاره یو ښه فرصت و.
As a Sequoia Capital’s venture capitalist put it in a now deleted profile on Bankman-Fried, “Yes, crypto eventually could replace money, and, yes, it can eventually decentralize the web,” the investor said.
هغه دوام ورکړ: "مګر دا ټول شیان نن ورځ ریښتیا ندي. او، نو، هغه څه دي چې نن ورځ خلک کوي؟ دوی تجارت کوي. او که خلک تجارت وکړي، او خلک تجارت خوښوي، د سوداګرۍ ماډل څه شی دی چې ټن پیسې ګټي؟ دا به یو تبادله وي.»
دا اقتباس ښیې چې د بانکمن فریډ پانګه اچوونکي د کریپټو ټولنه جدي نه ګوري. د دوی لپاره ، کریپټو پخپله د ویګاس کیسینو کې په سلاټ ماشین کې په قطار کې د درې سیټونو چیری ترلاسه کولو لپاره ورته ټولنیز اهمیت لري. د چیری عکسونو پرځای په کیسینو کې پانګونه کول غوره دي.
Agree or disagree with them, the crypto, and specifically the bitcoin subsection, of the community is serious with their goals. They are largely a set of libertarian, hyper-principled people. They are profoundly serious about their view on how blockchains can be used to liberate the currently unbanked, protect the value of one’s labor from ever increasing inflation, and connect people around the world through payments, and specifically remove government interference in money.
As Erik Voorhees’ puts it –– in what is now one of the final debates with Bankman-Fried –– “what we are doing here is in effect bringing the same separation that occurred between church and state to state and payments. In effect freeing people around the world.”
The earnesty of belief held by people like Voorhees doesn’t compute for people like Sequoia VC or Bankman-Fried. For them those beliefs were useful in that they got a community to work hard for close to no reward until the first few bitcoin bull runs. But the belief itself? For the jaded elite, a company mission often is a means to a single end: Enrich one’s bank account.
د دوی لپاره ، یو ماموریت د "خیرات" کولو په څیر مهم دی یا په عالي لیسه کې د خدماتو سفر ته ځي ترڅو د آیوی لیګ داخلې افسر لپاره ښه ښکاري. دا یوازې د "لوبې" برخه ده.
This is quite problematic, since their investments in immature crypto companies –– and overall childish behavior, like when FTX پورته شوی $420,690,000 from 69 investors –– is a large part of the reason the “crypto” industry isn’t respected by the general public.
Moreover, Bankman-Fried regularly made statements criticizing bitcoin, for being “slow, and bulky.” Keep in mind, the bitcoin community not only birthed crypto, but are –– for better or worse –– perhaps the most ideologically pure people in technology.
Moreover, Bankman-Fried sought to influence legislation that would impact the earnest bitcoin. Since he was –– prior to FTX’s collapse –– one of the biggest Washington donors, he likely would succeed in lobbying the government to follow his view.
But this here is a form of colonization. The crypto community was a vibrant ecosystem prior to Bankman-Fried’s entry. It was a bunch of misfits that came together to build something that was unique and important. A chance to feel empowered in a system they feel marginalized in. For Bankman-Fried and his cohorts to come into it aiming to make a percentage off of the trading fees of investors –– rather than create products and businesses in the ethos of bitcoin –– was their original sin.
ایا موږ باید دومره حیران شو چې دا په پای کې جلا شو؟

In a similar vein to a young child who asks “why doesn’t the government just print more money and give it to the homeless?” –– Bankman-Fried’s claim to fame was to make a lot of money and give it away. Like some benevolent patrician. Andrew Carnegie in board shorts.
مګر ایا دا واقعیا د خیرات لپاره مستند هڅونه وه ، یا د هغه خواخوږي یوازې د هغه د ټولنیزې پانګې د زیاتولو لپاره د لوبې یو ډول ستراتیژي وه؟
In a phone call with crypto reporter Tiffany Fong, Bankman-Fried said that he donated as much money to Republicans as he did Democrats, but did so quietly in order to gain favor with journalists who he felt were predominantly left wing. In other words, Bankman-Fried manufactured a public persona of humanitarianism, but in reality his raison d'être was to gain more power and clout
His former business partner Anthony Scaramucci ورته وویل he saw Bankman-Fried as having a sort of “superiority complex.” So, perhaps in Bankman-Fried’s head he thought that he could single-handedly solve all of the world’s problems if only he had all of the money.
Whatever the truth may be –– what is it that made Bankman-Fried think that he had the right to use other’s money at his own discretion? Or for him to enter a space that he, once again, had close to nothing to do with creating. What made him think that he should be the authority who decides what aspects are kosher or haram? Or write legislation for it?
At its core is a belief he was the smartest person in the room. A belief certainly had the innate privilege to feel given his parents’ societal standing, and his undeniable analytical wit. But, what was missing in the matrix of Bankman-Fried was a soul. A soul that would allow for him to truly respect community that he was entering as a stranger.
تاریخ د بانکمن فریډ په څیر د خلکو له مثالونو ډک دی، څوک چې د نوي، ډیر عادلانه یوټوپیا د سرپرست کیدو ژمنه کړې واک ته ورسید. کله چې، په واقعیت کې، اصلي بدلون چې دوی یې په لټه کې دي باید په واک کې وي. بانکمن فریډ هغه ټراپ واخیست او د سیلیکون ویلی کلتور کې یې توی کړ.
As Michael Lewis writes, for Bankman-Fried, most of life is just some kind of game. One which –– if most legal experts سم دي –– he won’t be getting any restarts on.
