Bitcoin has more than doubled in price since the FTX collapse a year ago, but several other coins such as Chainlink have seen ever bigger gains since. It's been a year since the demise of the FTX exchange — an event that's now increasingly looking like it was the Bitcoin (BTC), which is up roughly 120% from a year ago.

The reality is that blockchain technology can still deliver substantial benefits, particularly within the fine arts.
