Collapses, Bankruptcies, and Fraud: How 2022 Became the Year of Crypto Carnage - Ep.436
Unchained
Intro
This chapter offers a detailed retrospective on the key events that shaped the cryptocurrency landscape in 2022, including market crashes and major bankruptcies. It reflects on the lessons learned from a year marked by turmoil and significant losses in the industry.
This episode of Unchained looks back on a tumultuous year for the cryptocurrency industry in 2022. Significant events such as the bankruptcies of FTX, Three Arrows Capital, Celsius, Voyager, BlockFi, and the collapse of Terra/LUNA, led to billions being lost due to market plunges and also due to numerous hacks.
This year also brought the Ethereum Merge, one of the most awaited events in crypto's short history. Amidst the turmoil, true believers like Chris Burniske saw a silver lining, while the crypto community watched for the further fallout of this year’s crypto contagion to play out.
