Team Favorite: SBF's Effective Altruism

Today, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day is observed in the U.S. So the crypto team wanted to present an episode connected to the idea of service.

The episode, first published last December, focuses on Sam Bankman-Fried's efforts to advance Effective Altruism. SBF used to say he was a man on a mission: to give away more than a billion dollars. It was part of his connection to the Effective Altruism movement. Through personal giving, and through a philanthropic unit called the FTX Foundation, Bankman-Fried appeared to support causes ranging from pandemic prevention to research into climate change. But what happens to those recipients now that FTX is bankrupt?

Bloomberg reporters Sophie Alexander and Laura Davison join this episode with the backstory on SBF and effective altruism. We're back tomorrow with a new episode.
