What started as a Twitter Spat has soon turned into a major liquidity crunch...

When billionaires clash, there is always fallout.

In this instance the billionaires were the CEOs of Binance and FTX.

The fallout was hedge funds and ultimately crypto investors as reserves were being unloaded.

What started as a spat now looks like a potentially buy out slash bail out for FTX.

Binance just announced they have signed a letter of intent to acquire FTX...

This story is absolutely wild, more can be seen here:

How is that even legal? Now even the price of Steem has suffered.

Well it would actually be a very good thing if they acquired FTX considering FTX is very likely insolvent, now it sounds like the deal may not go through though.

Well, just some hours ago Binance decided not to buy and the cryptos are in free fall.
