2. Funds Sifu

"Sifu" is modified from the Secure Asset Fund for Users (SAFU) launched by Binance in 2018, and Binance founder Zhao Changpeng CZ often emphasizes the fund's security, "Your Funds Are SAFU with Binance." At the end of January this year, Wonderland's CFO, 0xsifu, was exposed as Michael Patryn, a co-founder of the now-defunct Canadian cryptocurrency exchange QuadrigaCX. As a result, related cryptocurrencies plummeted, and "Funds are with 'Sifu'" has since become an eternal meme.

4. Free Your Mind

1. Free your mind. Build the dip.

In a Bankless adaptation of "The Matrix," Morpheus, as a seasoned veteran in the crypto world, trains the protagonist Neo to break free from the physical constraints imposed by the system. Neo experiences the first cycle of bull and bear markets:

Morpheus: "Neo, you need to let go of everything, fear, doubt, free your mind." After saying this, Morpheus leaps to another rooftop.

Then it switches to Neo.

Neo: "Sprint, mentally chant ETH is ultrasound.money, merge not yet Priced in, BTC is the best hedge against inflation, this time is a big bull market, This time is different." But as Neo jumps up, he immediately faces FUD, macroeconomics, inflation, liquidation, capitulation, and other bearish factors, and ends up falling flat.

2. ETH's Rocky Price Volatility

5. Three Arrows Capital

Let's take a look at these CeFi platforms that offer crazy returns, who are the masterminds behind them?

Describing the difficulty in dealing with cryptocurrencies, it's even more challenging to ban Bitcoin mining altogether.

7. Elon Musk's Cryptic Tweets

While everyone is busy with value investing research and technical chart analysis, in 2021, paying attention to Tesla's founder Elon Musk's tweets may be more profitable than various analyses.

8. Bitconnect's Absurd Marketing Campaign

The famous Ponzi scheme Bitconnect BCC was quite active before 2017 and even listed as one of the top ten tokens by mainstream data websites, reaching a historical high of $463 in December and plunging to $5.93 in January.

The image shows a large seminar event organized by Bitconnect in Thailand.

The speaker in the image and video is Carlos Matos, an official invited guest, known for his excessively enthusiastic emotions and lively gestures, repeatedly shouting "Bitconneeeeecct." His behavior starkly contrasts with Bitconnect's eventual demise, making him one of the classic memes in the crypto community.

9. LUNA

Before its collapse in May this year, LUNA's price performance had been quite crazy. Coupled with the project's moon-themed logo, it gave investors a true "To The Moon" impression. However, with the failure of UST and the lack of official action, the significance of forking LUNA 2.0 is depicted as shown below.

10. Ethereum Merge

The Ethereum merge is a major event long-awaited by the crypto community. The community often uses "wenmerge" on Twitter to mock and criticize Ethereum's multiple delays in the development roadmap.
