This is how a ponzi scheme works. The big money bought all the Bitcoin float up in early Jan when it was trading at $1000. Bitcoin was relatively flat for years. Shadowfunds here and overseas decide to put a genius plan together. These funds could be state sponsored recognizing a great opportunity. The move up wasn't the work of public investment banks like JPM and GS but I'm sure they took advantage of the drop. These cryptos can move up on low volume so very easy to push the lot of them up with little money. Media starts to see this mania building up. Ad blitz all around the world goes off. The public wants their piece of the gold rush. They start buying this garbage on credit card and a few nut jobs sell their homes and invest entire net worths with the promise of $1 million price target in 2024(21 trillion market cap at 1 million). First off, the entire US stock market in 2016 had a $21 trillion net worth. When I hear anyone putting out this type of target he's a con artist or mentally ill. Anyways, back to the story. The huge interest allows the big money to unload their big stockpiles of crypto and all other alt ponzi scheme coins making it liquid short term. The beauty of this scam is the ATM doesn't stop there. After they sold this scam to the public at the top they were allowed to make money on the downside with the new futures product.
Now retail joe holding garbage. "Oh, it will go back up, this dip is a good opportunity" NOOOOOPEEE. You will never see your money again. The ATH in every crypto will never be seen in your lifetime or your kids lifetime. The downside is only beginning. You will see these things go back to early 2017 levels.
MERRY CHRISTMAS....My last post in this thread. My work has been done.
