FTX and Binance are exchanges, not cryptos. It's like confusing NYSE and NASDAQ with the stocks that they exchange.

The reason why people were investing in crypto was 'legimit' infrastructure providers like FTX and binance.

I’ve been using Bitcoin for a solid decade and I never made an FTX or a Binance account- too many red flags: leverage, derivatives, lending, etc.
