Indeed they're not. "cryptos" are cryptocurrencies, like Bitcoin.
FTX and alike are centralized exchanges (CEX).
This confusion is like calling banks and Wall Street "the US Dollar". And when Madoff and Lehman Brothers happen, calling out on the USD instead of the fraudsters.
The USD allows to do money laundering, fund terrorism and create scams, but that doesn't mean it is a scam itself, or that it should be banned, or that people who use the USD participate in a scam.
- pixl97 4y agoEh, USD is not just the dollar, it is an entire set of systems that include regulations that prevent fraud schemes. The USD without these systems would be the broken joke BTC is currently.
