How would i know it? Everything in this market is connected and nothing happens in isolation. I am guessing that crash of UST had way bigger effect and bear market started way before FTX. How big part of the crash was because FTX it's hard to say, but i am rekt after taxes.
The current situation in the real world doesn't help either with the prices of everything growing I needed to cut my spending as much as possible to even survive.
I agree with you on the high inflation rate that has affected the price of goods in the market even gas and petroleum products price have also skyrocketed globally, and the impact of the whole bear market situation on the price of most coins even Bitcoin have faced a huge decline in price before the FTX situation but even at that, it impacts on most of the market assets have been felt greatly.
FTX fucked up my portfolio badly. But then again, my eyes are focused on the 2024 and 2025 markets. So I managed to take advantage of the situation. I bought some altcoins and bitcoin at $16k and I am still planning to add more before it goes back to $19k and $20k levels which were the price ratio before the FTX crash. The same with altcoins although I think I have too many altcoins on my list and it makes me confused as to what coins will I buy next. Hopefully, there are no more big exchanges to crash again as regulations are stepping up to avoid these types of problems in the future.
Quite a lot of investors lost some significant drop in the total portfolio, but we have also noticed from the response of some members of the forum have made it clear that some never trust their assets with third parties so they have the coins stored on the cold storage wallet of exchange, so they never experience it direct impact but it had a general impact on the market.
