This is quite timely, as I’ve just finished reading the book about Sam-Altman Fried & FTX (‘Going Infinite’ by Michael Lewis). Whilst at first glance this may feel like a tabu’ topic, given the miserable failure, fraudulent environment, and negative popular view generally connected to the FTX case, I do think there are many parallels that used in a smarter way can be drawn regarding how to build an exchange." ### Post #3 by @0xAlad > **Author:** 阿拉丁 ([@0xAlad](https://x.com/0xAlad)) > **Metrics:** 3 likes · 0 retweets · 0 comments · 32 views > **Posted:** 2026-09-18T11:26:00+00:00 > **Source Link:** [https://x.com/0xAlad/status/2100909199303848064](https://x.com/0xAlad/status/2100909199303848064) > **Video Content:** The video displays a static image of the Pepe the Frog meme holding a mug, with no movement or action across the four frames.
