As someone who actually had to navigate the Backpack debt-sale channels to recover my FTX assets, the idea of "forgiving" SBF is still an extremely tough pill to swallow—his actions crossed fundamental lines of trust and caused immense harm.
However, @BTCdayu raises a provocative and necessary point. While the crypto space continues to stagnate, with AI rapidly absorbing top talent and even mining farms pivoting to data centers, SBF’s prescient investment in Anthropic (pre-ChatGPT boom), his Jane Street quant background, and his pioneering innovations in real-time risk engines, global cross-margin systems, and on-chain CLOBs reveal a mind uniquely equipped for the AI-crypto convergence we desperately need today—from AI Agent settlement layers to hashrate reconstruction.
Building a conditional pathway under stringent, transparent on-chain oversight—after he fully pays his debt to society—might represent the pragmatic maturity our industry needs.
Bold and courageous piece. Thank you for sparking a debate that most are too afraid to touch!
