Do you remember the major upheaval in the crypto market in 2023? At that time, the founder of TRON revealed a shocking piece of information during a media interview — FTX founder SBF had actively reached out to him, stating that he was seeking a rescue in the tens of billions of dollars.
Both parties did sit down and talk at that time. According to the disclosure, the details of the rescue plan involve users being able to withdraw TRON-based tokens, with an initial scale exceeding one billion dollars. It sounds like a pretty reliable financing idea, and if it really happens, it might even rewrite the fate of FTX later.
But the problem lies here—just a few hours after the plan was announced, the situation turned around. What happened later, everyone knows. In retrospect, this episode now seems like a microcosm of that chaotic period in the crypto market.

Almost rewrote history. If SBF had truly been saved, he could have kept bouncing around for a few more years.

Almost changed history, but unfortunately just a step away, the fate of the crypto world.

so the ftx rescue that never was... honestly back in my mining days we'd call this a failed fork attempt lol. if that billion dollar tron deal had gone through, the whole contagion chain might've looked different. but nah, gas fees on that kinda throughput? tps bottleneck would've destroyed it anyway

It's the same old story again; SBF just wanted to shift the blame to Sun.
