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.
科技行业的最新一位新星是加密货币平台老板萨姆•班克曼-弗里德(Sam Bankman-Fried)，他的首字母缩写“SBF”更为人熟知。他看上去完全符合人们想象中的年轻创始人的形象。这名早熟的30岁年轻人穿着短裤和T恤，据称睡在豆袋沙发上，在20多岁时就成为亿万富豪。但他真正突出的地方在于，他在同龄人当中鹤立鸡群。其他科技奇才都去哪了？科技行业似乎缺失最新一批20多岁的知名创业者。我能想到的唯一其他例子是创立了支付巨头Stripe的科里森(Collison)兄弟，他们现在30岁出头。
