The former CEO of the cryptocurrency exchange FTX, Sam Bankman-Fried, said in an interview with Andrew Ross Sorkin that he did not intend to do anything wrong and wants to ensure customers receive their money back.

"I didn't ever try to commit fraud on anyone. I was shocked at what happened this month," Bankman Fried said.

"Whatever happened, why it happened, I had a duty to our stakeholders, our customers, our investors, the regulators of the world, to do right by them," he added.

Even if you believe your exchange is trustworthy, storing your cryptocurrency in a cryptocurrency exchange is never a good idea. So, if you have crypto and you don't want to lose them, take them out of your online wallet and store them somewhere that is not connected to the network or internet.

Why You Should Always Store Your Crypto Offline

It is more secure from hackers, and even if all the crypto exchanges in the world fail, you will still have your crypto.

If you want to know how to store your cryptos offline, Google it, man. I'm just kidding, here are some  amazing articles that explain how you can securely store your crypto:

Dogecoin is climbing in value again, Yay..... some idiots are going to lose a lot of money, and the scammers are going to make a lot more money, again.

Please don't "invest" in those sh*t coins. I think I should rephrase that sentence, "Please don't waste your money on any cryptocurrency, not even bitcoin". 

In the coming months, you will hear stories of people who made millions from Dogecoin and they will say that you too can make money like that if you "study the market" and "invest wisely". Trust me, you can't, because nobody can predict the crypto market. It's like a pig on LSD, you don't know which way it's going to run (a famous quote from Jim Chanos when he was talking about the Chinese stock market, crypto is pretty much the same).

Media outlets are saying that Dogecoin's value rose because Elon Musk bought Twitter, and they are right. It seems that people are betting on the hope of Musk making Dogecoin an official currency of Twitter.

You might say that it's delusional, and it's never gonna happen. But we are talking about Elon Freaking Musk, you never know what he is gonna do next. That's why I'm not gonna say stupid sh*t like "it won't ever happen". Also, the cryptocurrency exchange, "Binance" is now an equity investor in Twitter. So, there is a chance that it might happen, but betting your life savings on sh*t coins is still a stupid idea.

Even after reading all this, if you still want to spend your money in the crypto space, buy a crypto course on Udemy, Coursera, Udacity, or edX. You may be able to create something valuable for the world.
