What in your mind qualifies this unfortunate event as a "catastrophe"?

There hasn’t been as much sense-making around the FTX catastrophe as I would have liked, so we worked quickly to put together a special episode of the Clearer Thinking podcast on the topic. 

We discuss how more than ten billion dollars of apparent value was lost in a matter of days, the timeline of what happened,  deception and confusion related to the event, why this catastrophe took place in the first place, and what this means for communities connected to it. 

 

If you’re interested, here it is:

The first portion covers the timeline of events, and after that there are interviews with 5 guests who give their take on the events:

 

  • 00:01:37 — Intro & timeline
  • 00:51:48 — Byrne Hobart
  • 01:39:52 — Vipul Naik
  • 02:18:35 — Maomao Hu
  • 02:41:19 — Marcus Abramovitch
  • 02:49:38 — Ozzie Gooen
  • 03:21:40 — Wrap-up & outro
