Sam Bankman-Fried's rise and fall reads like a Netflix thriller. At 29, the MIT grad transformed his crypto trading firm into FTX, one of the world's largest crypto exchanges. Living in a Bahamas penthouse, he became crypto's golden boy – worth $26 billion at his peak. With his wild hair, cargo shorts, and promises to give away his fortune, SBF convinced everyone, from NFL star Tom Brady to seasoned investors, that he was different.
But in November 2022, it all unraveled in 72 hours. A leaked balance sheet exposed that FTX had secretly transferred billions in customer funds to his trading firm, Alameda. FTX collapsed, taking $8 billion in customer money. The shorts-wearing billionaire who played League of Legends during investor meetings was arrested.
In 2024, after a dramatic trial, SBF was sentenced to 25 years in prison for one of the largest financial frauds in history. 0 reply

I played GODS unchained, which is huge on IMX and represents a significant amount of their market churn in NFTs. I earned, on average, $0.05 per day max in the form of $GODS.
The P2E model is significant and works to draw in hundreds of thousands of players who would normally not be interested in a table top card game online. It has rich graphics and animations that make it exciting to play and add to its appeal. It has balance issues, like any game does, and while the model is nice, it's not significant enough to keep me playing longer term.
I think there's a future where NFTs are game assets and move with the player to other games. We're starting to see this happen with Kiraverse, which is the closest thing web3 has to Fortnite. As that develops, the P2E model will just become the model and we'll see all kinds of advancements in NFT utility like renting or bridging.
TL;DR - It's true, it's out there, don't expect to get rich easily though. 1 reply
