The world of crypto witnessed a lot of turmoil this year. 2022 saw the collapse of Bitcoin prices along with a massive drop in the value of numerous altcoins. The NFT boom not only slowed down, but the floor prices of famous collections also plunged to historic lows.
Following the publication of a report based on Alameda Research's leaked balance sheet, Binance CEO CZ tweeted that he will be liquidating FTT tokens. It wreaked havoc in the crypto markets. This led to a meltdown that the crypto community had never seen before. The tussle between Twitter and Elon Musk resulted in Musk acquiring Twitter and firing roughly 50% of its employees. This year, we also witnessed Musk posting poll after poll on Twitter, citing "Vox Populi, Vox Dei." That he will abide by the vote of the majority ( Vox Populi, Vox Dei means the voice of people is the voice of God).
Here's we have compiled a list of tweets that upended the world of Crypto.
