Spotify secrets of the crypto world revealed

A leak named Panama Playlists has just caused a stir in the crypto and AI community by revealing the Spotify playlists of many famous figures, including Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong, former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF), and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman.

🔹 Brian Armstrong possesses a shocking playlist called “Repeat” – consisting of the same trance track repeated 60 times, which he says helps him focus deeply on work. Additionally, he listens to the musical Hamilton and Whitney Houston in the mornings.

🔹 Sam Bankman-Fried, who is serving a 25-year prison sentence, has two contrasting playlists:

– “Soft”: emotional with Yellow (Coldplay), No Surprises (Radiohead), and Hey There Delilah.

– “Loud”: explosive with Mr. Brightside, Not Afraid, Stronger. Notably, the last song he added before FTX collapsed was Save Your Tears by The Weeknd – as a portent of tears behind bars.

🔹 Sam Altman shows a diverse taste in music from Missy Elliott, Adele to classical and dance through the Shazam playlist.

This leak includes 49 Spotify accounts from technology leaders, politicians, to journalists. Although the authenticity cannot be verified 100%, some figures like Armstrong and Palmer Luckey (Oculus) have confirmed the information is true.

🟢 The music reveals more than you think: Not just personal preferences, these songs seem to reflect the emotional states, leadership styles, and life stages of the tech giants.
