Just gonna leave this here: 

An oft-quoted statement by Sam Bankman-Fried from the Odd Lots podcast is his description of yield farming, where he used the metaphor of a "box." 
During the April 2022 episode, Bankman-Fried said:
Bankman-Fried described how one could create a "box" and a corresponding token, which would initially have a small market cap. He explained how this could quickly escalate to a multi-million dollar market cap as people became interested, and how "smart money" would then invest heavily to chase a high yield in tokens, leading to significant increases in value. Many have interpreted this "box" explanation as a cynical description of a Ponzi scheme, especially following the collapse of FTX and Alameda Research. This quote was part of a discussion about opportunities and money flow dynamics in the crypto market, including yield farming.
