Now the answer to a clawback question would be that fuck that shit.. we are not giving any of it back, and the lawyers will figure out a way that we do not have to .. but if we were to have to give it back, then we would be able to handle it.. but at this point, we doubt that it is likely that we are going to have to give it back because of what it was and how it was structured.. so it is pure speculation that we would even have to give it back.
your answer above would be way better than his. I feel he needs some media training ...or a JJG bot
Could be. But CZ is no dummy, even though I agree that clip makes him look not so smart.. and the clip is also being misread too, so I am kind of thinking that he might have gotten caught off guard..
By the way, I think that even really smart people can get caught into weird positions and situations and they say dumb things.. so sometimes any of us can be smarter than even the greatest of geniuses when we are Monday morning quarter-backing or even if we are seeing that a situation is running out of control (like a run on the bank in relation to Binance that is likely not going to end up in a crash, but who wants a run on the bank anyhow?... even though there are probably ways to take advantage of runs on the bank, too.. including short-squeezes)..
For example, I think that Saylor is way smarter than me, but I have seen him do and say some pretty dumb things that he has had to walk back.. even Adam Back.. hahahaha.. I am not going to claim to be smarter than Adam Back, but I have seen him say some things that were not really very smart.. so maybe any of us can do it.. especially if we might have worked through a topic or even specialized in a certain area, and then we see smart people who are not very versed in the area of our specialty.
I think CZ is smart and skillful in general at running a big exchange.
But he chose to play the official spokesperson for his company, so it becomes part of his job to handle difficult questions and attacks in hostile interviews.
He clearly showed to be not well prepared for this part of his job.
Either you do the job right, or you assign a trained PR or media professional for that task.
There is just no room for fuck-ups or week answers in such an environment (huge company, reach of interview, critical timing)
