Title: Sam Bankman-Fried, the founder of FTX, wants to give away 99% of his money Post by: Crypto News Updates on April 05, 2022, 02:51:46 PM "The billionaire founder of crypto exchange FTX, Sam Bankman-Fried, has plans to give away the vast majority of his wealth thanks to the philosophy of "effective altruism," which he learned in college.
Despite running a multibillion-dollar global crypto exchange, the 30-year-old drives a Toyota Corolla, lives like a college student, and has a goal of making as much money as possible so that he will have more to give away, according to Bloomberg. Even with his massive wealth, he says he'll keep only about 1% of his earnings each year, or about $100,000. "You pretty quickly run out of really effective ways to make yourself happier by spending money," Bankman-Fried told Bloomberg. "I don't want a yacht." Bankman-Fried told Bloomberg he doesn't second-guess his decision to give most of his money away."

Personally I think it would be a better idea if he gave that money away directly to the people that need it, some charity organizations do a good job but even the most efficient charity still needs to spend resources on maintaining the charity itself, so if you can reach your target audience directly then it is way more effective to distribute the money directly than to use a proxy like a charity organization, and that is assuming the charity organization is legit, because as we know there are many charity organizations that are more interested in getting funding than in solving whatever problematic they are supposed to solve.Title: Re: Sam Bankman-Fried, the founder of FTX, wants to give away 99% of his money Post by: Anonylz on April 05, 2022, 07:17:59 PM An admirable and noble act on his part for not wanting to accumulate enough wealth and enjoy all the fine things in life which his money can obviously buy.
Is he going to donate to a charity organisation? That's the most logical way to spread the money across to reach the less privilege. Am a bit surprised to read this, most people nowadays (especially the rich are always looking for ways to maximize their wealth) it is a generous act I must say.

Am a bit surprised to read this, most people nowadays (especially the rich are always looking for ways to maximize their wealth) it is a generous act I must say. I believe, I already read a dedicated thread for him. But anyway, I really do admire his philosophy in life. At his early age, he realized that money or wealth won't really give him the true happiness in life. Even if we say, he is only keeping 1% of his wealth, he can already live decently by that amount. And the self-satisfaction comes from giving up most of his wealth to those who are in need. True that most rich people want to make more money for themselves, but Sam is a rare breed. I hope others will follow so we can lessen this poverty experienced by a lot of people around the globe.

That is very noble of him! I always wondered what people with that much money could do, this is probably the best answer! At this point I also wonder if he is going to leave something to his (future) kids, lately more and more wealthy people don't want to spoil their kids leaving them millions and millions of dollars.Despite running a multibillion-dollar global crypto exchange, the 30-year-old drives a Toyota Corolla, lives like a college student, and has a goal of making as much money as possible so that he will have more to give away, according to Bloomberg.

That's the true vision of a billionaire, you aim to give more to others than just to keep it to yourself and be more wealthy. Sam has a very noble act. He wants to live a simple life despite of the riches he had. And he think more of the needs of others because that will make him more satisfying and fulfilling. I just hope that his donations will be given to those who are badly needing it, and maybe he should be the one handling it to different charities.Despite running a multibillion-dollar global crypto exchange, the 30-year-old drives a Toyota Corolla, lives like a college student, and has a goal of making as much money as possible so that he will have more to give away, according to Bloomberg.

Its all bullshit, hes trying to get rich in the bahamas not one fucking drop of charity that isnt for a press release. Dude is a known criminal ripping off users.

In some cases, of course they are, but we have many others who come the moment when what they earn far exceeds what they can consume, they start thinking about how to help others, as this would be the case if he tells the truth, and so it seems:

I never knew about Sam but I am going to research more about him because he is holding onto the true vision of what wealth should be, what should a billionaire really do with his wealth. Billionaires are blessed with above average intelligence.
So I will stop by saying - when life gives you a billion, become like Sam and not like Zeff Bezos.

It is a sad truth that most of the rich people nowadays only focus on how to maximize their wealth, but Sam is a true reflection of what supposed to be a real billionaire. To always give assistance to the less fortunate people, and to always be generous on what you can give without wanting returns. Needless to say, he is such a noble person. And it will be all worth it if all his donations will go to all the right charities that deserve to receive the best help.Is he going to donate to a charity organisation?

I remember seeing a similar statement last year, but I couldn't find a source for this news. In general, we hope that this is the case and not a new attempt to get a free promotion.

He is just legend man and must be futuristic thinker. He is coming so clean without any greed for money and no stress feeling regarding future asset management. He truly understand what world needs and behaving like that. It’s impressive to see that he still drives average car even though he is a billion dollar owner. Moreover he has achieved so much in such short span of time. He is 30, he thinking like 70 yrs old experienced man, wants nothing but peace. I hope world appreciate him with noble prize.

Also, I have seen one video from Nas Daily with Sam where he shared how he is donating money and why he wants to donate. But cointelegraph has written in their article that, his donation part isn’t transparent, they can't see anything such activities from Sam. I don't know whether they are doing it purposely or not lol.
Title: Re: Sam Bankman-Fried, the founder of FTX, wants to give away 99% of his money Post by: barbara44 on April 06, 2022, 09:38:59 PM This idea is noble but at the same time doesn't provide the real problem. Nobody really needs Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos or in this case bankman-fried to give away his wealth, there is no need to do that after the damage is done. We need taxes to be top heavy, and bottom relaxed. It means if we take USA for example, anyone who makes over a billion dollars in profit, not just person but a company as well, should be taxed 90% after the first billion, which means the second billion dollars they make in profit would be 90% tax, and 10% their profit.
So, let's assume the first billion gets taxed around 50%, so they make 500 million and pay 500 million tax, then second billion is 900 million tax, and 100 million profit. They do not have to pay the tax, they could very well use that to grow as well, even supported to grow, but if they won't it is better to pay that as a tax then hoard it.

But there is only one small but. There is a huge gap between wanting or planning to gave 99% and already done it. I dont know what kind of reputation Sam Bankman-Fried has, but I hope he will keep his promise. Right now it looks only as an information stuffing, or trying to get attention, or the press is pumping his intention. On the other hand, if he managed to get such fortune by the age of 30, then it wont be hard for him to earn millions or billions again, as right now he is more experienced.
