Trading and speculation are the engine that drives interest in blockchain technology, and the huge swings in value have captured the attention of wall street.  This brave new world of digital asset trading lured Sam Bankman-Fried from his high-powered wall-street job to found two companies, FTX and Alameda Research, which bring a derivatives exchange and quantitative trading to the blockchain world.
