How quickly things change and how quickly we learn from them (sometimes). You remember when you had no idea who Sam Bankman-Fried was unless you were really into crypto. Then suddenly it became the only name you heard in all financial news following the collapse of FTX. Then the public discourse was about whether crypto was finished for good because most assuredly SBF is.

Well, it seems we’re finally here at that place of reflection, the one that comes after the drama subsides, where we start talking about two things primarily: 1) what it all means and then 2) what comes next. It all happened so fast. Water & Wall’s Rebecca Schmidt slows it down and explains it all in her latest guest piece in O’Dwyers.
