Is everyone beginning to understand Not your Keys, Not your coins , or is it temporary because of FTX?

Call me pessimistic, but I think it's just realistic to say: It's temporary. Sure, with the "funny" fuck-ups that immediately became public knowledge within FTX's company structure as well as the extreme scale of this whole thing, it gained an unseen-before media attention. When it's October 2023 and we are starting another bull-run, there may be some warnings from seasoned Bitcoin-veterans, but all-in-all especially any newcomers will again just leave their corns on exchanges until they either get burned themselves, or are lucky / smart enough to get educated.
There were so many similar (even though smaller in regards of monetary damage) incidents with exchanges almost every year before FTX... So what really is different with this one?

What's amazing is, in the past people just sold to USD and left the market. Now they're holding their btc instead - too precious to them to dump. Underrated paradigm shift imo.

That IS an interesting thought. And I think you are partly right, regarding quite a few ppl that were just semi-hodling and amateur-trading with their coins on exchanges. In the long run I am pretty sure it still needs a few more Mt. Goxes and FTXes and probably another decade for a general "not your keys - not your coins awareness".
Maybe this will not happen until some sort of basic Bitcoin education is part of the school system.
