The Return of Su Zhu
Following a lengthy absence, Su Zhu, co-founder of Three Arrows Capital, has re-emerged onto the crypto scene like a phoenix – if that phoenix were to tweet cryptic musings about life and the occasional jab at Sam Bankman-Fried. His Twitter activity kicked off just as the FTX drama unfolded, stirring the pot with poetic metaphors and sharp observations. Remember when he tweeted about how better swimming might lead to unexpected peril? We’re still scratching our heads over that one!
The Launch of a New Podcast
In a recent Twitter thread, Zhu announced an exciting new venture: a long-form video podcast series with a friend named Cliff. This series promises to delve into the intricacies of life, belief systems, and mental health, topics many of us are still trying to figure out over a cup of coffee – or two. Making things even more intriguing, Zhu made a reference to Allah, leading some to speculate about a possible spiritual journey through Islam.
Podcast Content Preview
What can we expect in this podcast? Here’s a quick rundown:
- A deep dive into personal belief systems.
- Insightful discussions about mental health in the crypto community.
- Guest appearances that could include others who’ve walked the tightrope of crypto and real life.
The Trading Firm Tease
But that’s not all! Zhu hinted at potentially launching a new trading firm, which could be an “all-weather fund.” The allure here is the notion of surviving and thriving through various market conditions. Finally, a trading strategy that doesn’t make you feel like a contestant on a reality show filled with unexpected eliminations!
Criticism Amidst the Comeback
Despite the excitement surrounding his announcements, Zhu also faced intense scrutiny. The contrast between his past actions and his new beliefs sparked conversation, as critics questioned the ethics of a trading firm amid religious ideologies. The debate over whether interest-bearing loans align with Islamic teachings left some shaking their heads. “What does Allah say about interest?” one blogger mused, while others floated the idea of a “Sharia-compliant” excuse for not returning loans. Cue the awkward silence!
Retronauts of the Crypto World
Su isn’t the only face popping back up in the cryptocurrency arena; Kyle Davies, Zhu’s fellow co-founder, emerged from his lair to share tales of painting and pondering grass – a refreshing yet bewildering shift from the usual market analyses. Meanwhile, the notorious Alex Mashinsky has been making the rounds in Twitter Spaces, calling for FTX to mend the cash shortfall at his bankrupt Celsius Network, thus proving that the show must go on, even amid financial turmoil.
The Bottom Line
As these ‘crypto villains’ take their places back in the limelight, the community reflects on the chaotic events that brought them here. Can Su Zhu and friends reclaim their credibility? Or are they just swirling in a storm of social media speculation? Only time will tell in this ongoing saga, but one thing is for certain – the crypto landscape is as entertaining as ever!
