Image
 Last article was about a loss of $45 Billion dollars.This article talks about how Sam Bankman- Fried, hereafter referred as SBF, lost about $31 Billion dollars. I actually don't know how I will structure this article so, please pace this read as you go. The Beginning of a SAGAPTHAM (Not the movie of vijaykanth's son ra): To have a deep understanding to you need to know the following concept, arbitrage. I kind of explained it over in my previous article. ( Shameless Plug: https://pranavh.blogspot.com/2022/07/how-45-billion-was-wiped-out-in-crypto.html ). 1. How SBF made his money: He made money using the concept. The man above is SBF. Arbitrage: Consider that you are buying a kilo of rice for a price X, at a friendly store next to your home. You find out that, you can sell a the rice a few blocks away for 2X. Your irrational rational mind tells you that you have an opportunity to buy the rice here and sell it a few blocks away, for 2X.

This is a story of a legacy, a collapse, that wiped out $45 billion of market capitalisation over the course of a week. • Prelude - Do Kwan: Do Kwan was a cryptocurrency developer who founded the Terra Luna token. Let me get this straight, he was a very difficult person, who had a lot of attitude and was always down looking on those who didn't believe in his tokens and cryptos.
