Tech’s latest golden boy is crypto platform boss Sam Bankman-Fried. SBF, as he is known, looks exactly how you’d expect a young founder to look. The precocious 30-year-old wears shorts and T-shirts, is known to sleep on beanbags and became a billionaire when he was in his 20s. But what makes him stand out is his lack of peers. Where have all the prodigies gone? The tech sector seems to be missing its latest batch of 20-something founders who become household names. The only other example I can think of are the Collison brothers, now in their early thirties, who created payments giant Stripe.
科技行業的最新一位新星是加密貨幣平臺老板薩姆?班克曼-弗里德(Sam Bankman-Fried)，他的首字母縮寫“SBF”更為人熟知。他看上去完全符合人們想象中的年輕創始人的形象。這名早熟的30歲年輕人穿著短褲和T恤，據稱睡在豆袋沙發上，在20多歲時就成為億萬富豪。但他真正突出的地方在于，他在同齡人當中鶴立雞群。其他科技奇才都去哪了？科技行業似乎缺失最新一批20多歲的知名創業者。我能想到的唯一其他例子是創立了支付巨頭Stripe的科里森(Collison)兄弟，他們現在30歲出頭。
