I get the whole FTX issue, but if you really are into Bitcoin & crypto, then why haven't you kept your exchange wallets in check? I personally almost never used exchanges. P2P is what bitcoin is really about.
You're not a trader, so you don't really get FTX then =)
And you're not a regular joe who probably doesn't know enough about Bitcoin, or don't trust yourself enough to be the sole custodian of your money. My grandmother kept cash under her bed... but she lived through the second world war, an occupation, and saw what could happen to money (invader chucks one out, in with another, savings gone).
I guess this generation (and mine of the 1990s) needs a lesson...
