The Twitter War

On September 21, 2023, a Twitter feud erupted between Andrei Grachev, the head of DWF Labs, and Cristian Gil of GSR.io. Grachev responded to Gil's tweet, which criticized his presence on a panel discussion involving GSR.io, OKX, and Wintermute. "I never thought that you could be THAT scared of us. Yeah, we are stronger than you in terms of tech, trading, BD and everything," Grachev tweeted.

Market Makers and Market Cycles

The exchange drew attention from other Twitter users, including Delta (@deltaxbt), who questioned what this "beef" among market makers indicates about the current stage of the crypto market cycle. Market makers play a crucial role in providing liquidity and facilitating trades in the crypto market, and their public disagreements could signal underlying tensions or shifts in the industry.

The "Crypto Fight Night" Proposition

In a surprising twist, a Twitter user named Mohammad (@Abu9ala7) proposed a "Crypto Fight Night" where Grachev and Gil would face off, and the loser would have to exit the crypto markets. The idea gained traction, with some users suggesting that such an event could set a "historical crypto bottom" before the next market run.
