Their names were Sam (FTX exchange) and CZ (Binance exchange). CZ had actually helped Sam start his exchange back in May 2019. For that, CZ got a bag of goodies.</p> <p><a href="https://preview.redd.it/89nkofyq2xy91.jpg?width=976&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=945cc22c7c33bc451ef36cc4294ea2d7a13b20e5">Aww they were friends</a></p> <p>Sam's FTX exchange grew quickly. Sam became a billionaire! Three months ago, it was even said that Sam would be the next Warren Buffett. Spoiler: no he is not.</p> <p>​</p> <p><strong>PART 2 - THE SECRET WAR(S)</strong></p> <p>Yet there was trouble in crypto paradise. Sam had been talking to other men such as regulators and politicians behind CZ's back and CZ did not like that. So CZ planned to get back at Sam while CZ continued to be friendly. First, CZ dropped the fees on Binance, luring in users from FTX.</p> <p>​</p> <p><a href="https://preview.redd.it/3trc6pgj3xy91.jpg?width=2048&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9f230c939f26a28202a9bddbebed1b30468e13ab">THE PLOTTING BEGINS</a></p> <p>Slowly, Sam started to realize that CZ was gunning for him.</p> <p>​</p> <p><a href="https://preview.redd.it/hp1e27tt3xy91.png?width=618&format=png&auto=webp&s=edfc47b03f356c076d9078819ba50419df0955fe">SURPRISE ITS ME</a></p> <p><strong>PART 3 - THE START OF THE GREAT CRYPTO WAR</strong></p> <p>In 2022, Sam overplayed his hand and made a joke about whether or not CZ would be welcome in DC. CZ decided to start the great crypto war. The battle was on. Who would win between these two giants?</p> <p>​</p> <p><a href="https://preview.redd.it/of865cha4xy91.jpg?width=1927&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d7be71e032d6c27008b8715532555bc3de830076">A fight between two titans</a></p> <p>They picked their fighters.
