FTX Collapse will be remembered forever same as we have got MtGox in the past. Even if the market haven't crashed out of the exchange, we could've experienced the same market situation as now. This is how I've understood about the market, because unlike the incidents the market is predicted to turn bearish right now in connection to the price movement of the previous years.
You've got that right. The FTX collapse is no different than the Mt. Gox collapse, in the sense that it destroyed investors' credibility into crypto for a short period of time. When this happens, market prices fall all the way down the drain at a very fast pace. Most people eventually sell their crypto holdings due to fear, uncertainty, and doubt. But strong hands will buy more coins and "hodl" them no matter what. As with any undesired event in the crypto/Blockchain space, governments take action by tightening regulations in order to bring more legitimacy to the same.
I don't think this is the end of crypto, because the space is constantly being developed and maintained as we speak. There are a lot of companies showing interest into crypto/Blockchain tech, so it's likely the industry will emerge stronger in the future. If history repeats itself, we will see a resurgence in crypto market prices within the not-so-distant future. Who knows if taking advantage of the FTX collapse would lead you towards untold riches in the long run? Just my thoughts
