Stop the count. Refund the man his money.

Can you explain this comment, I don't see democrats as being bought in crypto? What would giving them money accomplish? Most politicians in both parties are very skeptical of all this crypto tulipmania. There are a very small number who seem to bought in. Republicans are in that group too.

SBF put $10 million this summer into an Oregon Democratic primary in an attempt to advance a candidate sympathetic to Effective Altruism, rationalism, and AI ethics to the US House (the candidate lost). SBF has in general been flashing a lot of cash over the past 2 years in order to become a major philanthropist in the EA space.

Thanks for explaining that, I hadn't hear that specific thing. So he was the one that made that bizarre donation. I'd heard about the candidate out of no-where, didn't know SBF was behind it or who he was before a few days ago - I thought it was another Peter Thiel candidate purchase.

You're asking the wrong question.

Agreed. He offered Elon a billion dollars for Twitter stock just a few months ago.

SBF was the biggest donor to Biden's campaing, and now we know why.
