The author of a book on the FTX collapse is finding it difficult to concentrate on research due to the constant presence of CEO Sam Bankman-Fried. Despite trying to gather information on Alameda Research-backed companies, the author is overwhelmed by Bankman-Fried's voice and media appearances. Bankman-Fried's use of Twitter Spaces has become a popular way for him to communicate, but the author struggles to separate the noise from the actual story. The author questions whether making wealth from cryptocurrency to help others is harmful and reflects on the appeal of SBF's story, but also considers the possibility that SBF may not have been the hero people hoped for. Perhaps we don't need a hero to save the world.
