Crypto Crash 2022
The late-January crypto crash this year started as a tiny wobble that startled crypto traders. Unfortunately, it turned into a full-blown meltdown. Almost halfway through the year and many are yet to recover. This has spurred countless memes that express both devastation and optimism.

HODL
What once was a mere misspelling of “hold” has become an acronym for “hold on for dear life.” With the crash this year, crypto traders and enthusiasts are egging each other to HODL. Memes are still rolling to keep them clinging on despite the plunging prices.
4. “Believe me, I’ve been there. HODL,” says survivors of the 2013 and 2017 crypto crashes.

5. HODL on the moon. Make time pass by quicker than it seems. Reserve that SpaceX seat and while away time on the moon.

6. When everything seems impossible, just HODL it.

HODLers Reign Supreme
In the hierarchy of crypto supremacy, the HODLers reign among all beings. Don’t be content with being a trader, miner, or altcoiner. Be a Hodler!
10. Hodlers stay on top of the crypto pyramid.

Ethereum Gas Hike
Silly memes have underscored how outrageous Ethereum gas fees are. Because it runs on Proof of Work, a consensus protocol, the entire network can handle only a limited number of transactions in a certain period. With NFTs thrown in, the ETH is experiencing a looming fuel crisis. Want to know just how shockingly high the fees are? Check out these memes.
11. It costs everything.

12. Same, same. My wallet and the Ethereum logo—exactly the same when it comes to gas.

13. You still sure you want to pay cryptos at McDonald’s?
Source: trality.com
Ethereum 2.0
ETH gas prices may be sky-high, but there’s still something to look forward to—the upgrade to Ethereum 2.0. The network is adding 64 shards or new chains to enable the system to process thousands of transactions per second. This is bound to make the ETH minting more affordable, secure, and scalable. However, the launch keeps getting pushed back, so it has spurred a sarcastic meme on the date of launch.
14. ETH 2.0 soon—yep, pretty, pretty soon

15. ETH 2.0 finally ships . . . decades from now

Ethereum Is Still King
Even with the steep transaction fees, the ETH still rules the crypto world. Every now and then, we hear of a new one boasting to be the next Ethereum Killer. But nothing has yet dethroned the ETH.
16. Purported ETH killers no match for the real ETH

Real Men Own ETH
Gen X and older millennials are among the most heavily invested in cryptocurrencies. It’s no surprise they expect the next generation to follow suit.
17. Real men own ETH

The Crypto Ban
Governments banning crypto mining and trading isn’t exactly breaking news, but there seems to be more states that are keen on imposing or regulating crypto activities. The question is, how would they successfully implement such bans?
18. Governments can’t stop crypto.

19. Government banning bitcoin? Nah! Highly unlikely.

Tax on Cryptos
Early this year, India’s finance minister, Nirmala Sitharaman, announced the imposition of tax on crypto assets. Other countries are likely to follow suit once cryptos are accepted as legal tender. Crypto users are naturally not too happy about this and have social media awash with memes about the issue.
20. Oh, the irony!

21. Not too keen on getting taxed at 30%

22. Not as easy as it seems

Will Smith Makes It to the Crypto World
The crypto world didn’t let the slapping incident between Will Smith and Chris Rock pass. The image has been getting its share of memes related to the crypto space. Some find it distasteful, but some still find it hilarious.

Dogecoin
When it first launched in 2013, the Dogecoin didn’t get much hype even if it was the first meme currency in the crypto space. In fact, it was pretty much stagnant for several years. That is, until Elon Musk tweeted about it in 2020.
25. Nowhere near as strong as ETH and BTC—or is it?

26. Just a figment of your imagination

27. The Dogecoin is worth HODLing.

28. Dogecoin, huh? Hmmm . . .

Elon Musk Tweets
Tesla CEO Elon Musk has been wreaking havoc in the crypto space. Well, not everything he does causes chaos, but his tweets create some pretty chaotic changes in the crypto trading scene. Remember how Dogecoin’s price skyrocketed after his tweet last year? That gives you a glimpse of his impact on the crypto world. The new meme currency based on his dog, Baby Floki, is worth watching out for too. Its value increases whenever Elon tweets about his dog. It’s also deflationary, so the more people there are who use it, the higher its value increases.
29. Elon Musk giving everyone a hearty welcome after Dogecoin high

The SHIB
What started out as a joke in the crypto world has become one of the top performing coins this year. The Shib, the second dog meme coin, has risen in value faster than most other coins. When something this unexpected happens, expect the memes to come out.
32. Who let the dogs out?

The Extremely Volatile Market
We all know that the blockchain is still in its infancy and that the cryptocurrency market is extremely volatile. But new coiners can get a bit carried away. Here are some classic memes that remind everyone that it still pays to be cautious.
33. Gone in a blink of an eye
Source: twitter.com
Not a Quick Get-Rich Scheme
Because crypto enthusiasts can be overly enthusiastic when they talk about their crypto portfolios, new coiners can get pretty high expectations. More often than not, this leads to a big letdown after their investments.
34. Is this a scam? Show me the money!

35. When seconds feel like forever . . .

Got Lucky!
While most have to wait and HODL to get returns, there are a few lucky ones who hit it big early on. Don’t you just wish you had all their luck?
36. Hell, yeah!

Expectation vs. Reality
Crypto memes won’t be complete without the classic expectations vs. reality posts. Here are two classic ones that still have us nodding our heads in agreement.

BitConnect Scam
The BitConnect Scam happened way back in 2017, but memes about it remain legendary. Once in a while, you see them popping up here and there to remind coiners to be wary of similar schemes. Most of these memes feature Carlos Matos, an investor who enthusiastically gave a testimonial in the first annual ceremony of BitConnect. This coin is among the cryptos that leaped from less than a dollar in value to hundreds of dollars. Unfortunately, it turned out to be the largest scam in the crypto world.

43. Are You sure cryptos are better than stocks?

44. Know anyone who got rich buying NFTs? Apparently, NFT flippers on OpenSea are raking in more profits than spiffy fund managers on Wall Street.

45. When American stockbroker Peter Schiff insisted that gold trumps Bitcoin as an asset, he became a familiar figure in crypto memes. Every time Bitcoin outperforms gold, you’re bound to see his face splattered online.

The Bitcoin on Life Support
With the rebound after the crash still uncertain, Bitcoin looks like a bubble waiting to be popped. Some Bitcoiners are in a state of panic; some holding on for dear life; and others are on life support. Despite the uncertainties, they’re all finding hilarious ways to keep their sanity—and portfolios—intact.
46. Thankfully, the crypto isn’t on a real ship. Otherwise, it would already have sunk to the bottom—along with all coiners.

Meta and Mark Z vs. the Crypto World
Decades ago, the Web 3.0 was a mere dream for a lot of geeks and crypto pioneers. Now that it is unfolding, crypto enthusiasts are eager to see how it can truly transform the web into a decentralized world. However, they’re not too keen on seeing Mark Zuckerberg and other people who may have vested interests lead the transition to the metaverse. Their memes speak for themselves.
56. The crypto world wants a real decentralized world web, not just the same old stuff with the word “meta” attached to it.
