I've reviewed Michael Lewis's book Going Infinite, which just published today as Sam Bankman-Fried's trial kicks off. Ultimately, it's a story of the FTX collapse that never meaningfully changed from the hero story Lewis originally set out to write.

I joined Michael Lewis on his podcast back in May, and found him generally skeptical of both cryptocurrencies and the industry. We didn't talk much about FTX specifically, which is perhaps why I left that conversation hopeful about this book.

@molly0xfff it's not today unreasonable to be skeptical of crypto at this point is it? I know it's not going to go away (why would I run an academic journal about it if I thought otherwise) but healthy skepticism is probably warranted, no?

@breezeholmfox it's certainly not unreasonable
