Another year in the crypto space has nearly passed. As usual, Twitter has been a hotbed of crypto-related conversation during the turbulent year. From Terra’s collapse and the whole situation with FTX to Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter, 2022 has played out like a television drama, keeping people on the edge of their seats.
Tweets can act like time capsules from the past, offering up memories or documenting particular historical points.
Here are 10 memorable tweets from 2022.
Terra ພັງລົງ
The crypto space suffered several blows this year, and among them was the collapse of the Terra project. Terra started 2022 as a prevalent project in the crypto industry, with its LUNA asset ນັ່ງ in the top 10 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization at the start of the year.
In May, however, the project crumbled, fueled by the fact that its related stablecoin, TerraUSD (UST), completely lost its peg to the U.S. dollar. Although the year included many tweets related to the spectacle, the one below from the project’s head documents part of the series of events.
4/ A review of the current situation: UST is currently trading at 50 cents, a significant deviation from its intended peg at $1.

Twitter’s new Dogecoin-focused owner
Tesla CEO Musk has dabbled in the crypto space at times, frequently expressing his interest in Dogecoin (DOGE). In October, he bought Twitter, named himself its CEO and proceeded to enact significant changes to the company. Crypto exchange Binance has invested in Musk’s Twitter, putting $500 million toward the social media giant.

Three Arrows Capital falls
Another significant company that went down was Three Arrows Capital, or 3AC. Once a multibillion-dollar hedge fund, 3AC filed for bankruptcy in July, seemingly affected in part by the fall of Terra.
Over the course of the year, contagion has reared its head as a significant factor in the crypto space. When one company made a splash in a negative way, the ripple effects were often felt by other players.
ພວກເຮົາຢູ່ໃນຂະບວນການຕິດຕໍ່ພົວພັນກັບພາກສ່ວນທີ່ກ່ຽວຂ້ອງແລະໃຫ້ຄໍາຫມັ້ນສັນຍາຢ່າງເຕັມທີ່ໃນການເຮັດວຽກນີ້ອອກ

FTX collapses
FTX, yet another major player in the crypto space, also fell apart in 2022. Led by former CEO Sam “SBF” Bankman-Fried, the crypto exchange wound up in a position where it did not have enough funds to pay out those it owed.
With details surfacing following the collapse — such as sister entity Alameda Research mishandling funds — FTX-related headlines have dominated the latter portion of the year, including the company’s November bankruptcy filing and the multiple United States government hearings related to the exchange. At the request of the U.S. government, SBF was taken into custody by Bahamian authorities in December.
3) I had thought of myself as a model CEO, who wouldn’t become lazy or disconnected.
ຊຶ່ງເຮັດໃຫ້ມັນທໍາລາຍຫຼາຍເມື່ອຂ້ອຍເຮັດ.
I’m sorry. Hopefully people can learn from the difference between who I was and who I could have been.

ການເຊື່ອມໂຍງ Ethereum
Ethereum officially made its much-anticipated transition to a proof-of-stake blockchain in September, bringing proof-of-work consensus to a close on one of crypto’s most prevalent blockchains. Ethereum co-creator Vitalik Buterin tweeted on Sept. 15 that the event had reached completion.
ປະຕິບັດຕາມການລວມຕົວ, the Ethereum blockchain showed improvements related to block production, requiring less time for block verification and seeing an increase in the number of blocks produced each day. The Ethereum blockchain’s next major upgrade, Shanghai, is anticipated to occur in 2023 and will unlock Ether (ETH) staked on the Beacon Chain.
ແລະພວກເຮົາສະຫຼຸບ!
ມີຄວາມສຸກລວມທັງຫມົດ. ນີ້ແມ່ນປັດຈຸບັນໃຫຍ່ສໍາລັບລະບົບນິເວດ Ethereum. ທຸກໆຄົນທີ່ຊ່ວຍເຮັດໃຫ້ການລວມຕົວເກີດຂຶ້ນຄວນຮູ້ສຶກພູມໃຈຫຼາຍໃນມື້ນີ້.

ລະບຽບການ
The final five tweets on this list don’t so much focus on major events as they simply look at points of interest related to the crypto space, evidenced in tweet form. This one from U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis sheds light on crypto regulation, an increasingly popular topic in the industry this year.
ຮຽກຮ້ອງໃຫ້ຜູ້ພັດທະນາແຫຼ່ງເປີດເພື່ອສ້າງ AML/KYC ເຂົ້າໄປໃນຊອບແວ node ແລະ hardware wallets? ໝາໂຕນັ້ນຈະບໍ່ລ່າ.

Bitcoin’s price troubles
Bitcoin (BTC) had a tough year, dropping from almost $50,000 to below $20,000, according to ດັດຊະນີລາຄາ BTC ຂອງ Cointelegraph. Although gold advocate Peter Schiff has historically bashed Bitcoin, the prices he mentioned in a Jan. 20 tweet don’t seem illogical looking back. But will Bitcoin’s price continue going down even further, or is the worst already over? The answer will likely come in 2023.
# bitcoin ສຸດທ້າຍໄດ້ຕັດສາຍຄໍຂອງຫົວ ແລະບ່າ. ພາກສ່ວນທີ່ຫນ້າຢ້ານສໍາລັບການຍາວແມ່ນວ່າຮູບແບບດັ່ງກ່າວຄາດຄະເນການເຄື່ອນໄຫວຕ່ໍາກວ່າ $ 30,000. ເມື່ອລະດັບນັ້ນຖືກລະເມີດ Bitcoin ຈະສໍາເລັດການສູງສຸດສອງເທົ່າ. ຈາກນັ້ນການເກີດອຸປະຕິເຫດຕ່ຳກວ່າ 10,000 ໂດລາ ແມ່ນມີຄວາມເປັນໄປໄດ້ສູງ.

A sign of crypto’s mainstream attention
In March, before much of the year’s bearishness, National Football League star Tom Brady tweeted about his admiration of Buterin — a sign of crypto’s mainstream attention and growth.
Vitalik ເປັນແນວໃດ! ເຈົ້າອາດຈະບໍ່ຮູ້ຈັກຂ້ອຍ ແຕ່ຢາກບອກວ່າຂ້ອຍເປັນແຟນຂອງເຈົ້າ. ຂໍຂອບໃຈທ່ານສໍາລັບທຸກສິ່ງທຸກຢ່າງທີ່ທ່ານໄດ້ສ້າງໃນໂລກຂອງ crypto, ຖ້າບໍ່ດັ່ງນັ້ນ @Autograph ຈະເປັນໄປບໍ່ໄດ້. ຫວັງວ່າຂ້ອຍຈະໄດ້ພົບເຈົ້າມື້ຫນຶ່ງເຈົ້າເປັນ https://t.co/W6PxS5P78M

Still a Bitcoin proponent
MicroStrategy’s co-founder and executive chairman, Michael Saylor, has been the face of the company’s Bitcoin-acquiring pursuits, which have led to MicroStrategy holding over 100,000 BTC Since turning bullish on the asset, Saylor has often spoken positively about Bitcoin. The events of 2022 have seemingly not deterred him from the cryptocurrency, based on the December tweet below.
ຄວາມໄວ້ວາງໃຈ # bitcoin, Not People.

A simple tweet from an industry native
Since its inception, the crypto industry has, at times, resembled a rollercoaster of highs and lows. Anthony Pompliano, a well-known figure in the crypto space, tweeted a ray of positivity late in the year to cap off the list on a positive note.
Bear markets eventually end, but they can last longer than you think.
If you speak to anyone who has been around for multiple cycles, they will tell you now is the time to focus, build, and learn.
