FTX Price Pump
The decentralised world is one of many wonders that can leave many in the dust if they're not quick enough on the clicker and the FTX drama is a core example of how volatile the sector truly is. It also highlights the importance on ensuring you're across the emerging crypto news in order not to make the wrong movements as one wrong click could quite easily spend the end of your investment portfolio.
It was only November last year when one of the largest Crypto exchanges FTX imploded taking $US32 Billion to dust and even costing one father his home and $US896,000 he had invested in the exchange.
There is a saying in Crypto which is HODL and what that means is Hold which is based on early years investing when prices were so volatile that they would drop to near nothing and then return to their previous highs. It hasn't been this way for some time but FTX seems to be bringing the old saying back.
