I just want to share something that felt like a full-circle moment for me.

I was one of the people who had money stuck in FTX. When everything crashed and the truth about FTX came out, I really thought I would never see that money again. It was devastating. I am not someone who has a lot, so the amount I had there, around $x,xxx, felt too big to lose. It was hard to accept, and honestly, I already did. I just told myself it was gone forever.

But recently, I got an unexpected surprise. The FTX Distribution gave me back that $x,xxx. I did not expect it at all. And the moment I got it, I did not even hesitate. I used it to buy Bitcoin. Whatever the price was at the time, I just bought.

Why? Because during the time I lost that money, I felt helpless. But now, even if it is just symbolic, I wanted to take that back into my hands. I believe in Bitcoin. And even after what happened with FTX, I still believe Bitcoin is one of the few things you can hold without trusting a person or company. It is pure code and math.

Getting that money back felt like a second chance. I am not saying it is a perfect decision, but it is mine.

Just wanted to put this out there in case someone is going through the same thing. There is hope. Hang in there.
