Over the past few months, the flaws and shortcomings of cryptocurrency on the blockchain continued to be exposed to a broader audience. The promise of transparency is starting to be a fallacy that everyone can see through, and this has, in a way, reduced adoption, which, in turn, continues to make the investment in this sector withdrawn daily. Everyone is now well vast in the manipulation and theft that goes on in the crypto space.
The fall of Luna was an event that still hurt people, but people found a way to move on and trust the process. Luna was just one project, and millions of people lost everything within a space of a day, However, people moved past the crash. However, I am still confused about how people will recover from the FTX exchange crash, as this was a supposed significant exchange in the league with Binance and top exchanges. This breach of trust further intensified the concept of why a centralised exchange system is a fraud.
One of the critical reasons why cryptocurrency has grown widely is due to the promise of decentralization and transparency. However, the collapse of top crypto exchanges shows the manipulation that still thrives even with blockchain technology. These centralised exchanges work like traditional banks; in truth, they work similarly to how the government works by sometimes issuing policies on what and what you can not do while on their system. They sometimes even go as far as letting you know what can be withdrawn from your account and what you can not.
The considerable power given to these big exchanges makes it more challenging by the day to assess them properly, making it difficult for adopters to believe in this system. Big exchanges do not account for their activities, and the dealings on their network are pretty hard to track as it is kind of, in a way, an enclosed blockchain with which only they have a critical extensive insight.
Dear @lebey1
Another yet interesting choice of topic :)
The way I see it is that LUNA crash and FTX crash are nothing but a small "bumps" on the way for crypto to take over entire world with storm.
Adoption of this technology is not slowing down. People are so much more educated now than only few years ago. Even if you look at politicians: hardly anyone have heard about crypto in 2017. Now half of them own bitcoin and other crypto themselfs.
Direction is well known and during times when markets are down and liquidity is low - it is to be expected that some businesses will go bust. And that large investors will use each such an opportunity to bring more fear to the market - while accumulating more and more.
People moved past LUNA crash and they will move on again and again. We're bombarded with news, our attention span is so short. By end of this year FTX will be nothing more than "old' news. Youtubers will stop talking about it since it will not generate views any more. And we will all MOVE ON.
We did it with covid, lockdowns, war between Rusia and Ukraine and many other "major news". Several weeks from now noone will care and talk about FTX crash. This I'm absolutely sure.
Hopefully my view is making sense to you,
Have a great sunday ahead of you
Cheers, Piotr

I hope my line of thinking does make sense to you @lebey1
Most of all, I believe that people have "short memory". Especially current generation. Short attention span is a plaque. So in 2-3 months hardly anyone will care or remember FTX. Even now hardly anyone talks about LUNA, and that caused crypto crash twice as heavy as FT crash did.
