The great Sam vs. CZ crypto war, a visual recap [Meme level over 9000]

PART 1 - THE RISE

Once upon a time in crypto land, the owners of the two biggest crypto exchanges were friends. Their names were Sam (FTX exchange) and CZ (Binance exchange). CZ had actually helped Sam start his exchange back in May 2019. For that, CZ got a bag of goodies.

Aww they were friends

Sam's FTX exchange grew quickly. Sam became a billionaire! Three months ago, it was even said that Sam would be the next Warren Buffett. Spoiler: no he is not.

​

PART 2 - THE SECRET WAR(S)

Yet there was trouble in crypto paradise. Sam had been talking to other men such as regulators and politicians behind CZ's back and CZ did not like that. So CZ planned to get back at Sam while CZ continued to be friendly. First, CZ dropped the fees on Binance, luring in users from FTX.

​

THE PLOTTING BEGINS

Slowly, Sam started to realize that CZ was gunning for him.

​

SURPRISE ITS ME

PART 3 - THE START OF THE GREAT CRYPTO WAR

In 2022, Sam overplayed his hand and made a joke about whether or not CZ would be welcome in DC. CZ decided to start the great crypto war. The battle was on. Who would win between these two giants?

​

A fight between two titans

They picked their fighters. CZ picked Twitter, SFB picked regulators and politicians.

​

Goodness were they strong

​

PART 3 - THE MIDDLE OF THE GREAT CRYPTO WAR

The fight began in November 2022. CZ walked in with the sink to the Alamede Research headquarters.

​

Let that sink in

​

CZ quickly used his Twitter attack.

The Twitter attack is super effective

At first, the community was entertained. They had not seen a great crypto war before.

At first it was fun

But soon, the community started to get worried and hit by the collateral damage. F in chat.

F(TT)

Sam valiantly defended himself. CZ is coming after us but we are fine, no worries!

it was a lie

PART 4 - THE END OF THE GREAT CRYPTO WAR

But CZ's Twitter attack turned out to be too powerful. Sam surrendered.

​

PLZ have mercy

There was truly no SOLace for Sam. CZ gloated and paraded Sam around.

Yeah thats taking it too far CZ

​

PART 5 - AFTERMATH

CZ went for the killing blow.

CZ WINS!

​

As Sam was laying there, lifeless, he saw his crypto life flashing before his eyes.

F in chat

The celebrities who had fallen in previous wars were already waiting for Sam

Does Sam get to go to crypto heaven with the likes of Do Kwon?

But CZ had other plans and resurrected Sam.

No crypto heaven for Sam

And so, CZ acquired FTX and Sam was forced to work for CZ until the end of his days. He kept saying "I dont want it" but CZ didnt care.

Now the question is, will CZ burn us all?
