The 'Crypto Crash 2022' meme encapsulates the collective trauma and dark humor of the cryptocurrency community during one of the most volatile years in digital asset history. Triggered by the de-pegging of the TerraUSD stablecoin and the subsequent collapse of major platforms like FTX, the meme typically features frustrated investors, massive red candles on trading charts, or humorous comparisons between 'then vs. now.' It is widely used to satirize the 'HODL' mentality and the sudden transition from 'To the Moon' aspirations to jokingly applying for jobs at fast-food chains. These memes remain a popular way for traders to vent about market cycles and the unpredictable nature of decentralized finance through shared digital misery.
