Luthra elaborated on his stance on FTX further by saying,
I trusted someone like FTX and gave them my bitcoin. They also requested my crypto to give me ‘IOUs’ and then they took our money. This was a huge lesson for me and a big lesson for everyone.

Luthra stated that he has been buying crypto every day since he had the opportunity to do so and believes it to be a great time. He stated that the core ethos and fundamentals of bitcoin have remained unchanged and that the FTX scandal won’t have any impact on it long-term. Luthra stated that “So for me there’s a great chance to buy long-term, so I am purchasing more bitcoin.”
Luthra went on to state:
“You could have a car maker who cut corners and then defrauded industry. But that doesn’t make electric vehicles bad. It’s just like bitcoin, the fundamentals remain strong, and if bitcoin is in your hard wallet, you haven’t lost any money today.”
