Is the #FTXCRASH and resulting fallout the crypto version of the dot-com bubble burst, Lehman brothers fall causing 2008 crash, or something else?

[Anowa Quarcoo @itsmeanowa]

Just catching my breath…whew…and it’s only Wednesday

[Cold Blooded Shiller @ColdBloodShill]

- FTX broke
- Binance offering a bailout
- FTT down -75%
- Do Kwon on UpOnly
- BitBoy claiming to have ended Sams career

All in less than 24 hours.

[Ash Crypto @AshCrypto]

If you have survived

- BTC crash from $69k to $17k
- LUNA to $0 by Do kwon

How was your day at the office?
