It was a weird week in the crypt. The disgraced ex-FTX CEO Sam Bankman- Fried's ill-advised redemption tour has done nothing but confirm the theory that some people simply can't shut up.
It would be forgiven for you to think that this would be a bad week for the industry to host an award show.
It was called The Crypties and it sounded weird.
According to The New York Times, The Crypties were held in Miami during Art Basel, because of their popularity. Josh "The Fat Jewish" Ostrovsky was the host of the event and he wore furry pink pants and a jacket.
His set did sound funny, but it had a distinct "I absolutely hate web vibe to it" vibe.
He said that the event was in Florida, the home of the natural disaster. We're going to celebrate a man-made coin tonight.
Your out-of-touch parents and skeptical friends have told you that all of these coins will be worthless one day. We defiantly say only some of them.
The Crypties happened. The advisory board included a couple of people who didn't like Ostrovsky's roasts, including a couple of people from the entertainment industry.
Surprisingly few winners were there to collect their awards, despite the fact that ten awards were technically given out.
It's been a weird week, and no-shows like Brian Armstrong, who won "Investor of the Year", are busy. Some business with FTX-tied hedge fund Alameda Research was done by the cyclist. Bigger fish are going to fry.
The food was good and someone in the crowd admitted to buying a zebra when the prices were still high. It's alright. Next year is looking good.
The awards go on despite the crashes.
