10 crypto tweets that have aged like milk: 2022 edition

[ad_1]

To put it lightly, it has been a crazy year for the crypto industry.

In the space of less than 12 months, the third most valuable stablecoin imploded, setting off a domino effect that saw crypto lender Celsius go bankrupt, the founders of Three Arrows Capitals flee and one of the most altruistic cryptos went home in handcuffs.

In this article, Cointelegraph has selected 10 crypto-related tweets that have aged like spoiled milk.

Do Kwon Steady guys

On May 10, just as the algo-stablecoin formerly known as TerraUSD began to fall below its dollar peg, the founder of Terraform Labs tried to allay fears of a new depeg, tweeting : Deploy more capital – stable guys.

Well, we all know what happened after. The collapse of the Terra ecosystem in May 2022 caused over $40 billion to disappear from the market in that month alone.

Deploy more capital – stable guys

— Do Kwon (@stablekwon) May 9, 2022

Since then, Do Kwon and the remaining Terra community have attempted to revive the project with a new stablecoin in the works. TerraUSD has since been renamed TerraClassicUSD (USTC) and is worth $0.02 at the time of writing.

Do Kwon Your height is not the height

Next on the list is Kwons famous response to crypto trader Algod, who explained on March 9 that if LUNA breaks new ATHs, I will short it with size. It’s a big ass ponzi, pretty sure VCs will also hedge their investments on perps.

Kwon then retaliated by basically calling Algod poor, stating, Yeah but your size isn’t the size before you add, $10 less coming in, everyone take cover.

Yeah but your size ain’t the size

Kwon was of course reminded of this many times during and after he went into damage control mode as TerraUSD spun out of control.

SBF Sell me anything you want. So fuck you.

Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF) has an almost endless amount of statements that probably sound terrible under the current circumstances. Not only did he lie about assets, but shortly before his company filed for bankruptcy, the FTX founder also left us the $3 Solana (SOL) meme.

In a discussion on Twitter from January, crypto trader CoinMamba got under the skin of SBFs in January 2021, suggesting that SOL was a great short selling opportunity above the $3 price.

After a back and forth in which the two were trying to iron out a bet on the future price, SBF finally had enough of CoinMambas SOL’s taunts and said:

I will buy as much SOL as you have, right now, at $3. Sell ​​me anything you want. So fuck you.

The comment has become legendary in the crypto community, especially after the price of SOL hit an all-time high of $259.96 on November 6, 2021.

However, CoinMamba seems to have had the last laugh, as the Bankman-Frieds company catastrophically collapsed a year later.

I’ll buy whatever you have, right now, for $3.

Sell ​​me anything you want.

So fuck you. pic.twitter.com/f1eJjqNKIk

In response over nearly two years, CoinMamba gave Bankman-Fried a taste of its own medicine. I’m going to buy whatever you have, right now, for $3. Sell ​​me anything you want. So fuck you.

Alex Mashinsky All funds are safe.

Amid the LUNA fiasco in May, rumors began circulating that Celsius was having liquidity issues and could be headed for serious trouble, while others had claimed the company had already been wiped out completely.

In a bid to quickly reassure Celsius customers, Mashinsky responded to the rumors by stating in a May 12 tweet: Despite the extreme market volatility, Celsius has not suffered any significant losses, adding:

All funds are safe.

These four words have become a warning sign for the industry.

A month later, on June 12, the firm suspended all withdrawals. On July 13, it filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Users are still battling to get even a portion of their funds back as we speak.

Accompanying Mashinsky is a Celsius Network classic, in which the firm touted the whole unblock yourself slogan. The crypto lender has often suggested that it is more reliable than the banking system.

In a tweet from November 14, 2019, Celsius Network tweeted: If you don’t have unlimited free access to your own funds, are they really *your* funds? before adding:

#UnbankYourself with Celsius and join the next generation of financial services with no fees, no penalties, no lockups, just profit.

That statement didn’t pan out too well in 2022.

Amid its Chapter 11 bankruptcy process, users have had no access to their escrow funds, while profits are also in doubt as they may not recover all funds.

If you don’t have unlimited free access to your own funds, are they really *your* funds? /t.co/Qsrcu9hmhu

— Celsius (@CelsiusNetwork) November 14, 2019 Travel We have the experience for […] face any bear market.

Following a similar line to Celsius and Mashinky, Voyager, another failed crypto lender, posted a long Twitter thread in June, which now seems a little out of place as 2022 comes to an end.

In an attempt to assure clients that the company was safe during the bear market following the collapse of the Terra ecosystem, Voyager assured clients that it was carefully managing risk and that its mission was to make crypto as simple as possible.

Our simple, low-risk approach to asset management is the result of our decades of experience leading businesses through market cycles. We have the experience to back our decisions and weather any bear market.

Over the next two weeks, it was widely reported that the company was facing cash flow issues, and on July 5, Voyager had filed for bankruptcy.

(2/4) We manage risk and prioritize the safety of client funds above all else. We keep things simple. No DeFi lending activities, no staking or algorithmic stablecoin lending, no derivative assets, and certainly no stETH.

The following is a 2018 tweet from fintech media TechCrunch that reads: ETH collapse is inevitable.

The tweet is accompanied by an extremely bearish article in which the author, Jeremy Rubin, predicts that the ETH asset, not the Ethereum network itself, will go to zero.

Rubin, who revealed at the end of the article that he was a Bitcoin (BTC) and Litecoin (LTC) hodler at the time, bizarrely suggests that if the Ethereum network completes everything on its roadmap, no one will will have no use for the asset.

At the time of writing, however, Ether (ETH) sits at $1,196 and features a host of reasons people want to hold it: staking rewards, borrowing, lending, and deflationary tokenomics.

Moreover, it also serves utility purposes, such as making transactions on the largest network of smart contracts in the market.

Avraham Eisenberg, the crypto trader behind decentralized exchange Mango Markets’ $110 million exploit, makes the list due to a tweet from October that looks terrible under the current circumstances.

The tweet itself revolves around a rather harmless back-and-forth regarding Eisenberg’s incorrect use of the @inversebrah tag, with Sheik Swampert noting, You’re not calling inversebrah on yourself man.

In response, Eisenberg said: What are you going to do, arrest me?

RIP YOU pic.twitter.com/8peCRwVR6x

— Sheikh Swampert (@sheikhswampert) December 27, 2022

As of this week, Eisenberg was arrested and faces market manipulation charges for the Mango Markets exploit, which he had always supported as a highly profitable trading strategy facilitated by legal open market actions.

As such, this tweet has quickly become a popular meme that will likely live long in Crypto Twitter folklore.

Fortune SBF, the next Warren Buffet

US business magazine Fortune also made the list for speaking highly of SBF in August.

In a Twitter thread, the publication called him the de facto leader of the crypto community before suggesting he was the next Warren Buffet, White Knight of Cryptos and Prince of Risk.

— FORTUNE (@FortuneMagazine) August 1, 2022 Kevin OLeary I will use FTX to increase my allocation

Shark Tanks Kevin OLeary, also known as Mr. Wonderful, is on the list for his support of FTX and its former CEO, Sam Bankman-Fried.

OLearys’ now-deleted tweet came on August 10, 2021, after he signed a deal to become a spokesperson for FTX. In the tweet, he pointed out:

Finally resolved my compliance issues with #cryptocurrencies I will use FTX to increase my allocation and use the platform to manage my portfolios.

Unfortunately for OLeary, FTX was anything but compliant, and the millionaire said he likely lost all of the $15 million he was paid to be FTX’s spokesperson after taxes, agent fees, and all the crypto he kept on the exchange was lost after the company went bankrupt.
