Is Cryptocurrency Dead? Will the FTX Fallout Kill Crypto?

Is Cryptocurrency Dead? Will the FTX Fallout Kill Crypto?

How the bankruptcy of FTX, the world's third-largest crypto exchange, undermines trust in cryptocurrency and decentralized finance, making it even more difficult for crypto to ever be taken seriously as a monetary alternative.

Topics covered include:

  • How FTX squandered its customers' deposits
  • How FTX is another example of a private money bank run
  • How traditional securities lending works and why it is very low risk compared to the highly speculative nature of cryptocurrency lending platforms
  • How FTX's demise is impacting numerous entities including Voyager, BlockFi, Bitcoin miners, venture capitalists, and many others
  • How should individual investors store cryptocurrency, and does it even make sense to continue to own it
