I hate to gatekeep, but I find it pretty impossible that you are "in the crypto space" in any meaningful sense but somehow have not heard of FTX. That's like being "in the crypto space" but not knowing what Ethereum is.
Unfortunately I can echo the crypto space sentiment for as long as such an expression can exist
I’ve never touched Bitfinex/FTX/Binance or any exchange that allows options or leverage. I am a US citizen. Bitstamp Gemini or Coinbase are the only ones I’ll touch
And I’m pissed off that coinbase removed the BTC/USDC trading pair because it had low volume
Why will I not touch them? That’s a long story but I see history repeating itself - fractional reserve Bitcoin banks paying ponzi interest
Kraken I trust but I've never used. For perspective, I've traded roughly a million dollars worth of BTC specifically. Most of that was as the knife was falling after the 2017/2018 ATH.
DCA-ing since then, selloff at the top in 2021, pull my limit sell orders, let it crash.
Doing it again now, kinda hard not to take advantage of deflationary 4-year super cycles
Never heard of FTX either until this whole implosion happened. I’m certainly not super active in crypto, but it seems to me there are worlds between Binance and FTX.
