The Year of Regretful Tweets
2022 was a rollercoaster ride for the crypto sector, filled with boom and bust, often accompanied by tweets that aged worse than spoiled dairy. Oh, the drama! In this article, we look back at some of the most regrettable tweets that are now part of crypto folklore.
Do Kwon: Captain of Chaos
Do Kwon, founder of Terraform Labs, found himself at the center of a storm when he tweeted, “Deploying more capital – steady lads” right before the TerraUSD crash. If only his crystal ball had worked better. This tweet alone is a reminder of how quickly fortunes can change. From a promising stablecoin to TerraClassicUSD, which sits at a mere $0.02, Kwon’s words echo more as a cautionary tale than a rallying cry.

The Rise and Fall of Sam Bankman-Fried
Who can forget Sam Bankman-Fried, a guy whose enthusiasm for FTX was overshadowed only by his ability to lose everything? His infamous tweet, “Sell me all you want. Then go fuck off,” directed at a trader regarding Solana, has taken on a life of its own. After Solana reached a shocking peak and then witnessed FTX’s collapse, we’re left wondering if SBF will ever go back to Twitter, or if he’s too busy selling rocks.
“I’ll buy everything you have, right now, at $3.”
Promises of Security That Crumbled
Alex Mashinsky of Celsius proclaimed, “All funds are safe,” while panic brewed in the market. Yeah, tell that to the users still fighting to reclaim their cash. This tweet has become synonymous with failed promises, a reminder that sometimes, a comforting message just doesn’t cut it when reality is melting away like ice cream on a summer day.

Voyager’s Wishful Thinking
While everyone else was holding on for dear life, Voyager claimed they had the expertise to weather the storm. Fast forward a few weeks, and they were filing for bankruptcy. Their confidence could have powered a small town! This tweet represents the sheer audacity of optimism. Can we get them a trophy for the most optimistic business plan of 2022?
Legends of Tech and Their Predictions
And of course, we can’t forget TechCrunch’s proclamation that “The collapse of ETH is inevitable.” Fast forward to today, and that message sticks out like a sore thumb. ETH stands tall at just under $1,200, defying those who doubted it. Looks like someone is still waiting for that collapse!

The Final Word on Crypto Nostalgia
From the cringe-worthy to the downright tragic, these tweets serve as comic relief and serious lessons for anyone navigating the crypto waters. As the phrase goes, “What happens in crypto, doesn’t stay in crypto.” As we ponder over these gems, let’s raise a glass in memory of the missed opportunities and the lessons learned the hard way. Cheers to unfiltered thoughts!
