Could someone take pity on my dumb ass and explain what the heck is this FTX shit?
Please and thank you!

I have no clue what this is or what it's about. I admit I am sadly lacking in any sort of knowledge about cryptocurrency other than the fact that it exists.

What the heck is it?

What happened with it?

What the hell is going on, since it is apparently a really big deal?

And, please don't be mean to me. I admit I have never bothered to really delve into it myself and that is why I know absolutely nothing. Yay me :(

But it seems important, right? So...I should have at least a clue.

 There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable.

There is another theory mentioned, which states that this has already happened.

Please someone dumb this down for me and explain it like I have a 5-year-old's brain.

FTX is the first of many. We are going into a meltdown like never before. Cash is king again, get ready for the buys of a lifetime. Be sure to get in there because when things come back prices will be higher than they have ever been. Buy when everyone is selling sell when everyone is buying.

They take your money and invest in an imaginary asset which they loan out to several different people at the same time, while telling you they are watching it for you and keeping it safe.

The other people use it as collateral, and then when the company goes bankrupt, a judge will tell you everyone just lost everything.

It's unbelievable that this can go on. It happens over and over too, because they let the same people run the scam.

Anyone from Enron shouldn't be allowed to have a leadership role in any finance company.

Apparently crypto exchanges are just running scams.

This guy slipped up really bad, more like cyber terrorist level.

But without proper regulations, the most seemingly well run "crypto" exchange may as well be doing the exact same things as this guy, and they seemingly all do.

Eventually, the law will crack down and the "crypto" will be like digital beanie babies.

Meanwhile original Bitcoin has quietly returned, is not "crypto," and may change the world as it is designed to work within the law and to be the ultimate law enforcement tool for money laundering.

It's all going to slowly crash. Idiots will keep pumping and dumping lower value digital beanie babies.

Smart people interested in the technology will gravitate towards Bitcoin.

The Phoenix will need to rise from the ashes.

ftx is an exchange like etrade is a brokerage. ftx vs binance is like pepsi vs coke or etrade vs ameritrade...imagine etrade saying "oops, those dollar signs and numbers on your screen have no assets backing them because the great sam i am son of samosa took the deposits for his own spending."

"Crypto" is worthless digital tokens that scammers convince people to pay hard-earned money for, promising them that there will always be a bigger idiot to take it off their hands for a higher price later. And for a time there is, this is why Ponzi schemes always work - at first.

A "crypto exchange" is where you send your money to the scammers and get your digital tokens in exchange. You can also send them your digital tokens and get money back, but they don't like that too much. If more people starts wanting their money back than there are people sending them money, the "crypto exchange" is suddenly "hacked" and your money is mysteriously gone, with the people running the exchange innocently waving their hands in the air, having no idea what happened.

This happens to every crypto exchange sooner or later, because they're unsurprisingly all run by scammers.

This time it happened to an exchange called FTX, which was run by an extra special bunch of scammers that was handling Democrat money laundering through Ukraine.

You can hear all about it on CNN!

Just joking.

Basically... dodgy rich people have been telling you for years that crypto is a scam and to stay away yada yada... Nobody listened and people kept making themselves rich via crypto so they (dodgy rich people) decided to make their own crypto exchange to scam people with.

Now they are hoping that this scam they pulled off will scare everyone away from crypto for good, but things don't really work like that. Considering this scam is a massive black swan event the price of bitcoin has not really dropped that much, it's still thousands times higher than it was just a couple of years ago.
