@cmclymer before we lionize Colin Powell, let's pause to remember that the Bush administration used him to lie about WMD in Iraq to start a false war. So he's certainly someone who can talk about the impact of a big lie. But not someone with credibility, unfortunately.

Japan FTX will probably pay back depositors in full. Why is that? Japan regulation post MTGOX has funds held by a third party custodian and forbids comingling at that party. This is the regulation we need.

Our investment thesis is that the world wants there to be a big one of these and we think YGG will be that one because of the mindset, the team, network effects, first mover and also the power of collective bargaining at scale. Guilds = governance.
