What made FTX anomalous was that it featured people who were notorious for snake oil hucksters (Paltrow, Kardashian), fancy dogs/idiots with questionable histories on this sort of thing (Brady), and people who would seemingly endorse ANYTHING (Shaq, LBJ, Floyd Mayweather).
But it also featured Spike Lee, Matt Damon, and Larry David who seemed to be smart and brand-savvy enough to not get burned. Though Lee, Damon, and David are all older than Millennials so maybe they didn’t realize crypto is a total fucking scam
