Cryptocurrency investors had a turbulent experience in 2022, marked by Bitcoin's unexpected failure to sustain its bull market peak support, resulting in a drop below $20,000. The instigators of this turmoil were rogue elements within the cryptocurrency sector, leading to the financial ruin of numerous businesses and even notable personalities like Zhu Su resorting to fraudulent activities.

Vitalik Buterin and LUNA

Following the decline in BTC price, LUNA Coin, already on a downward trajectory, witnessed a further decline after a retweet by Vitalik Buterin. The price of LUNA Coin tumbled to $0.645 due to a post targeting Ethereum in 2022, later identified as erroneous. The retweet from Vitalik read, "Most of the Luna hate I see seems to come from the eth camp."

Ansem posted this on January 10, 2022, oblivious to the impending collapse of LUNA and the massive losses resulting from UST. It became evident that the enticing 20% stablecoin interest, flawed UST mechanism, and the narrative surrounding LUNA Coin were all misguided.
