Sam Bankman-Fried has quickly become a crypto legend. He graduated college as a Physicist but chose to pursue a career in finance, with the intention of making and donating as much money as possible. Sam discovered his innate ability to spot inefficiencies in global markets and transitioned to crypto to capitalize on his incredible skill set. Now he casually manages billion-dollar arbitrage trades through Alameda Research while providing liquidity and endless trading options to crypto traders through his top 10 crypto exchange, FTX. Sam’s insight into crypto liquidity sheds a clear light on the practices of Bitcoin whales and is essential to understand as a crypto trader or investor. 
Scott Melker and Sam Bankman-Fried further discuss trading a billion dollars in a day, executing orders in stealth, arbitraging money around the world, looking at 6 monitors at once, billion-dollar capital management, front running orders, injecting liquidity, the golden parameter of trading, preventing a Bitcoin leverage meltdown, scaling the industry for institutional money, dominating liquidity and more.
