Seeing that people here were so much into Bitcoin, I had warned that it is either a bubble or a ponzi scheme! Here I will attempt to illustrate it using FTX minus the needlessly obfuscating language of the so called 'experts'. Then its nature as a mere bubble should have been crystal clear to anyone.
One not familiar with the procedures for buying bitcoin etc could simply dish some money to FTX, and then you have your bitcoin. Of course they will deduce some money for this help. So far so good! There would be no scenario for any 'collapse' whatsoever, unless bitcoin itself and all the other cryptocurrencies were to collapse! But like bitcoin etc, they decided to create something that can and would overvalue their service, and this should have obvious to anybody just at a glance! This overvaluation was another currency termed FTT. So if you had FTT, it had initial 'value' of making the transaction cheaper!
But then as you should see, this is just an artificial trick! They sell you the cryptocurrencies at large prices and then offer to help you out of the very problem they created it for you, at the exchange of you buying another cryptocurrency of theirs!. So this 'intrinsic value' of FTT is purely made up by the company and would varnish with the company, of course!
As I said, you can always create a bubble by using anything, provided it has some intrinsic value.
