We aren't talking about if bitcoin is a good investment. We're talking about if there's market manipulation, remember?

Whether you like it or not bitcoin and all of crypto is a speculative and non-revenue-generating asset, so it's going to go down in environments like the one we see today. High uncertainty and rising interest rates kill those types of investments in the short to medium term. That's just life. Nothing goes up all the time.


Luna dropping from 80USD (130ath) to 0.02USD, pulling their stablecoin UST to 0.3 after constant stability of 1USD like other stable coins (USDT, BUSD, etc) is not a market manipulation by them. Gotcha lad.

amazon stocks dropped by like 40%, that's a surprise. "$35 TRILLION in global market value erased since the beginning of the year"
btc is dropping 6th time in last 5 years more than 50% which is becoming "normal" for this type of market. it ain't normal to those who're new, but they'll learn.
it's impossible to hit the accurate bottom and we're not close to being bearish if we're on market longer than 2 years and did no stupid decisions caused by greed.
This is like the best and my favorite crypto environment as bullish market causes people to lose IQ, get greedy and we get a sudden jump in crypto gurus that hit random x100 on a shitcoin during bullrun market which causes them to become youtube crypto influencers.
people were getting too much +% in too short of a time, and like 95% of noobs are now losing money due to fear factor. but u gotta know that everything they sold, some1 bought. shittons of twitter accounts owned by crypto influencers are closed since last week.
we're going back to 2018/19 in which accumulating crypto is priorty, except this time, crypto space is like 20 times more developed and stronger, and in following 3-4 years it will be even more. thing that makes me happy, is that shit projects like Luna, will be gone soon.
market is deflating and spinning, and it will spin again.

Sylvester and Melatonia get mad at me a lot for saying very basic facts. I'm used to it.


"facts" we argued around are only covid related. i can't remember us discussing anything else, ever.
your "facts" were majorly all wrong. you shouldn't feel attacked, it's nothing personal. you're just a clown that was proven wrong too many times but you refuse it as your ego is surpassing your intelligence. similar case to sausage6k

just to be clear do you think the crypto space is or is not massively manipulated on a regular basis?

Oh yeah, there's lots of market manipulation in the crypto space as a whole.

so why wouldnt those that do choose times such as inflation announcements to manipulate the market beyond it's natural movement?

if its a choice between a random tuesday and an event where they can cloak it in things like Chinese crypto bans or inflation index updates they'd be idiots to choose a random time.

There's probably some manipulation at play, but the far simpler explanation is that most of the current movement is natural. If you want to do a Ph.D in crypto economics and dissect what proportion can be attributed to the natural market movements be my guest, but the world tumbling into a recession and possible depression resulting in lower demand for all high-risk assets is a pretty normal thing.

Could also be related to margin call on the stock market side. Sell crypto to have the cash to cover short positions.

Causes a massive dip in crypto but let’s them live another day.

Note: just a theory, nothing confirmed.

Do Kwon had to sell all his btc to save ust, but that's natural. simple minds request simple explanations.
I even said I agreed with your initial statement on the other topic, I'm not just bashing to bash you but because I don't agree with it most of the time

Stock market going down, crypto going down, then cash has major inflation. Where do people keep their money?
