That is the allure of decentralization. &#8220;We&#8217;re just a part of it,&#8221; he added, echoing his September statements that the bear market isn&#8217;t necessarily a bad thing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">CZ said something similar last month, claiming that cryptocurrency is the &#8220;only stable thing&#8221; in the broader market downturn.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">While CZ remains unwaveringly optimistic about the future of cryptocurrency, he has nothing but contempt for Sam Bankman-Fried and the now-defunct FTX.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">&#8220;FTX killed themselves (and their customers) by stealing billions of dollars in user funds.&#8221; &#8220;Period,&#8221; CZ wrote Tuesday, arguing that no third party, including himself, should be blamed for FTX&#8217;s demise.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>No healthy business can be destroyed by a tweet<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\">&#8220;No healthy business can be destroyed by a tweet,&#8221; CZ said, presumably referring to his November 6 tweet in which he announced Binance&#8217;s sale of FTX&#8217;s exchange token FTT. He later clarified that the selloff was to reduce Binance&#8217;s risk and to stop &#8220;supporting people who lobby against other industry players behind their backs.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The price of FTT then plummeted, causing a major liquidity crisis at FTX. On November 11, FTX and its affiliated entities filed for bankruptcy just five days later.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">CZ, on the other hand, believes that Alameda&#8217;s Caroline Ellison is to blame for FTT&#8217;s price drop, citing a November 6 tweet in which she offered to &#8220;happily&#8221; buy all of CZ&#8217;s FTT for $22 per token.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">&#8220;She gave away her floor price,&#8221; CZ said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/insidebitcoins.com\/cryptocurrency-exchanges\/binance-review\">Binance<\/a>&#8216;s CEO is still concerned about his public image and the manner in which Bankman-Fried has spoken about him.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">&#8220;SBF perpetuated a narrative that painted me and others as &#8216;bad guys,&#8221; CZ wrote. &#8220;It was critical in keeping the illusion that he was a &#8216;hero.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">5. \u201cSBF vs CZ: The Epic Showdown\u201d <\/p>\n<p>We don&#39;t focus on competitors because it&#39;s a waste of time and resources when the industry has only touched 6% of the population.
