US Midterm Elections and FTX Collapse: Here’s How Crypto Twitter is Reacting
Today, there are two major events playing out that will set the course of the crypto market in the future: the US midterm elections and the near-collapse of FTX. And Twitter is blowing up with opinions, satire, memes, and whatnot.
In a press release shared on Twitter, the FTX announced that it had filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. FTX’s founder, Sam Bankman-Fried has stepped down as CEO with immediate effect.
1) Hi all:
Today, I filed FTX, FTX US, and Alameda for voluntary Chapter 11 proceedings in the US.

US Midterm Election Results
Midterm elections are also under way in the US and the results are coming in. Republicans are getting closer to a 218-seat House majority, but the expected number of seats is shrinking
Republicans have so far gained 213 seats, while Democrats have 206. A total of 218 seats are required to establish a majority in the 435-member House of Representatives
When it comes to Senate, Democrats have secured 48 seats while Republicans’ have managed to win 49 seats. Control of the Senate now hinges on the result of three states: Arizona, Nevada – and Georgia. There is a delay in results as counting takes more time in close contests.
Keeping calm is not what Twitter is known for. So let’s dive right into how people are reacting to these events.
Cryptocurrency gang must be grateful for the timing of the latest epic crash. It's happening amid a major US election and the self-immolation at Musk's Twitter. Those take attention away from the reality that the "crypto marketplace" is a grift-laden mirage, screwing suckers.

I have an idea that save crypto permanently.
Ok hear me out: it’s a crypto exchange. EXCEPT the exchange just lets your crypto sit there. They don’t take it and over over-leverage it on risky bets. They make money based off fees you pay on trades.
Who is ready to invest?! 👇
