Right, but what failed here was centralization. MTgox, BTC-e, FTX, etc all centralized. So was FTT, the FTX token. So are all cryptos that offer staking (ie: ADA, ETH, SOL), because someone, some entity needs to issue the stakings, that would be a centralized control. It's created out of thin air just as fiat is. Unlike Bitcoin where energy and time is needed to mine it, true hard money.

This FTX/SBF implosion is a reminder to NOT trust anyone! Trust math & protocol, the only decentralized one of those is Bitcoin.
