Builders are pulling out the stops to lure in buyers who are reluctant in the face of higher mortgage rates, which topped 7% last week for the 30-year fixed rate.
For instance, nearly 3 in 5 builders say they are offering incentives this month. In November, 25% of builders are paying mortgage points for buyers to lower their rate, up from 13% in September. Mortgage rate buy-downs increased from 19% to 27% over the same period.
Additionally, 37% of builders cut prices this month, up from 26% in September. The average price reduction was 6%, which is below the 10% to 12% cuts seen during the Great Recession.
Disgraced Alameda Research CEO Caroline Ellison talked about “regular amphetamine use” in an April 2021 Twitter thread — more than one year before the FTX-linked crypto hedge fund imploded.
Ellison, the close business associate and confirmed ex-girlfriend of FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried, has been under intense scrutiny since Alameda and other FTX Group-linked entities filed for bankruptcy last week after running out of cash.
“Nothing like regular amphetamine use to make you appreciate how dumb a lot of normal, non-medicated human experience is,” Ellison said in the tweet dated April 5, 2021.
Her casual drug reference went viral on social media platforms, including Twitter and Reddit, amid reports that FTX funneled $10 billion in client funds to Alameda to help bolster the firm’s risky bets. At least $1 billion of those funds is reportedly still missing following the fund’s implosion.
The tweet was still live on her Twitter handle @CarolineCapital as of Tuesday morning. Bankman-Fried has regularly interacted with the account in the past.
Ellison did not elaborate on which drug she had taken. Amphetamine can be prescribed under the brand name Adderall and others as medication to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
Rumors of amphetamine use among top FTX and Alameda brass have run wild in recent days. In a resurfaced podcast interview from October 2020, Bankman-Fried himself admitted to experimenting with Adderall and other amphetamines.
Bankman-Fried said nootropics, or brain-boosting drugs, can be “life-changing,” though the effects for most aren’t much “different than coffee.”
“In general, probably half of all people or more should be taking meds of some kind, because they just make your life a lot better,” Bankman-Fried said while touting the benefits of Adderall and other drugs.

Ethereum has depreciated to a point where the price of an average BAYC has fallen by around 75% since the end of January. If we assume Bieber’s NFT has fallen at the same rate, his $1.3 million stake is likely now worth closer to $300,000—but the fact that he initially overpaid to the degree that he did means it’s likely somewhere between $60,000 and $70,000.
Questions remain of how widespread pain from Bitcoin ownership is. Many large venture capital investors put money into FTX. And yet, Bitcoin ETFs only made investing in the cryptocurrency itself more mainstream.
“Cryptocurrency traders are still saying What-the-FTX is happening?” said Edward Moya of Oanda. “Bitcoin and Ethereum are hanging onto any broader risk appetite for dear life.”
