That people should just stop thinking of something better will come on this token. If you have been holding it, don't hope for the best and if you're thinking to invest on it then don't try to catch those knives that will fall on your hands. If your brother OP is still in there holding this token, yeah as you have said it's likely going to have a slow death.
People just want to make a quick buck by riding the hype. It's a risk that will cost them dearly in the long run if there's no comeback of the now-defunct crypto exchange. For what I know, there are only rumors of a comeback. Nothing has been officially confirmed yet. I'd stay away from the FTT token just to be safe. Who knows if it goes to $0 soon?
There are far better alternatives on the market with a promising future. Just diversify into prominent cryptocurrencies (BTC, ETH, BNB), and you'll have nothing to worry about. Only time will tell us whenever FTX will gain the trust of crypto traders and investors again, or all the other way around. As long as we have plenty of options to choose from, nothing else matters.
