SBF Free Crowdfunding Plan: Buying Out the Next Big Gamble of a Genius
In the long history of cryptocurrency, crazy projects are never in short supply—going to space, and so on—but if we are to create a project about redemption,
then the SBF Free Crowdfunding Plan is undoubtedly the most feasible among many wild ideas.
1. Core Logic: From “Sinner” to “Most Efficient Money-Making Machine”
We must admit a harsh reality: even if he is legally disgraced, in terms of trading, macro judgment, and project execution intuition, Sam Bankman-Fried @SBF_FTX still possesses one of the top 0.01% minds worldwide.
• Cognitive Assetization: The essence of crowdfunding is not charity, but an advance buyout of his future free time earnings.
• Debt-to-Equity Conversion: Instead of letting him waste time behind bars, it’s better to turn him into a “Living DeFi Protocol,” allowing him to generate every penny through research, tweeting, and incubating projects after his freedom, proportionally returning to the crowdfunding holders.
2. Benchmark Case: CZ @cz_—What’s the logic?
Many people compare him to CZ (). Although their natures are entirely different, one core logic is universal: influence and value liquidity.
• CZ’s freedom proved that under @EricTrump’s leadership in the U.S., there is still the ability to drive freedom with money.
• If SBF can return to the battlefield through some “crowdfunding buyback/bail/legal operation,” his inherent traffic and controversy are the best marketing. In Web3, controversy equals attention, and attention equals money. (This is also why some KOLs have no bottom line.)
3. Revenue Model: Launch Projects, Invest in Projects, Earn Spread
The profit points of this crowdfunding plan are very clear:
• Exclusive Research Rights: Crowdfunding holders get priority access to his first project after his comeback.
• Traffic Monetization: As long as he re-enters the crypto circle, even a subtle glance can stir huge waves in the secondary market.
• Project Dividends: Establish an on-chain DAO, with SBF responsible for investment decisions, and crowdfunders as LPs (Limited Partners) enjoying profit sharing.
From a historical perspective, this is very much like ancient “Redemption” and “Oath of Loyalty.” When Lü Buwei invested in Qin Yiren, he was after the untouchable imperial power behind Yiren. Today, discussing crowdfunding SBF is essentially investing in an extreme volatility.
Of course, this idea faces huge legal red lines and moral debates. But in the DeGen-filled realm of Web3, as long as the returns are high enough, even the craziest ideas will find takers.
Although the idea is sexy, its implementation is extremely difficult. I believe victims and legal issues can be addressed by adjusting share ratios. However, this bold, value-tokenizing approach—“Tokenize Everything”—is indeed the most primitive driving force of this industry.
What token name would you give to this idea?
