it was never real in the first place
I don't even know what the fuck FTX is/was? Something to do with crypto which is another thing I never comprehended? And most have said they don't get it either which is why it has not caught on. People want hard cash they can put in their hands, not some digital currency no one gets. We already have digital currency....debit and credit cards. I don't understand even putting your cards or online banking apps on your phone. You lose/misplace your phone and someone finds or steals is, and by the time you realize it you now no longer have your $1000 hi-tech phone, but you also don't have pictures, contacts, and then all your banking info, cards, and crypto is likely to have been stolen and/or used.
If I lose my wallet, I'm going to notice pretty quick. I rarely carry cash, so no worries there. I only carry credit cards....I've never even activated the debit cards I have, and they are in a drawer safely at home even though they can't be used. All I have to do is call my card companies, and tell them to turn them all off as I lost my wallet or it was stolen. Request new cards from them, AAA, my health and car insurance, and go spend $20 for a new driver's license. Since they are credit, not debit cards, I'm not responsible for any fraud, and just do chargebacks on any transactions I didn't personally make.
I used to work in the payment industry, but it was before you could store your card on your phone and just pay using it via NFC. I wonder, if chargebacks made on your phone are harder to dispute?
What I really never got, and saw as a stupid scam that would fail is the whole NFT thing. A customized digital pic can sell for $1000's?

"oh yay! I got a one of a kind digital pic of Tom Brady playing. This will be worth millions someday" "Oh shit, I just found an almost identical pic of Tom in action, and downloaded it for free on google

"
I want to go back to like 2004-2008 b4 FB, Insta, Twitter, and all social started.....you know when people actually hung out and talked, and would never say half the shit online to your face. No millionaire influencers whose only talent is manipulating people to buy shit, and your pics were really what you looked like.....not all filtered out. Those were good times. I miss that
