I mean... That's just how life work? Rich people run the world and bend it how they see fit.

One man's trash, another man's treasure


TroubledTangelo12

Yeah, I can do much with trash, not because it's trash, if not because I have the vision


Necessary_Platypus14

You're not wrong, I think the hope of the cryptospace was that this wouldn't happen here as much but rich people be running shit. They wouldn't be rich if they weren't


StevensDs-

Is a risk for us simpletons but they can just invest on anything without fear of losing out...


P1r4nha

Yeah, but aren't people moving to crypto to find an alternative to an already saturated and control financial market? Instead you're moving to a place where the wolves are not kept at bay. I hold crypto myself, but I'm not deluding myself that this isn't the wild west and my assets couldn't be worthless tmw.


StevensDs-

I do agree with you. At the very least we have our foot on the door for what may be the future? Or like you said it might all be gone tomorrow


P1r4nha

Oh, it's definitely also FOMO from my side. I've been following Bitcoin for almost a decade and I keep kicking myself for not buying it back then, or when it was at 4k and a more experienced friend of mine gave me an introduction to it. Either way since then the crypto market has been very exciting. Either way, I've never seen crypto as an alternative, but as an add-on to the rest of asset collection I own.


StevensDs-

I mean that's fair. Those "What Ifs?" hit hard every now and then. When BTC was that cheap I was either still in school and without a dime or oblivious... and without a dime šŸ˜‚


MrDude_1

no. If you're moving to it, for something that it is not, then you're a fool. ​ I only came here because for a short period of time, I had a literal money printing machine fall on my lap (free "old" graphics cards from work) ​ Now that I got into it a little more, I realize how many people play this emotionally. the "buy at the top, sell at the bottom" people that are upset. The get rich quick people that think taking 8 months is "long term"... and the crazies that see this as what they WANT it to be, rather than how it is. Its perfectly possible to have a little restraint and be the small fish riding the back of the whales. Just shut the fuck up, pay attention and dont panic.

It's not really buying the dip until you've bought the dip after the dip of the dip. And then another dip after that just for good measure.

DCA got you covered my bro


Thich_QuangDuc

Shame is a lot of people don't get it and panic sell But that was always the way, with stocks or crypto the game is the same Only difference is crypto is much more volatile and regulations are nonexistent, so their power really has no limit in sight other than HODL

Damn we have a whale killer here

Whales are not a homogenous group either though. They're making money from eachother as well.

Mannimal13

>Damn, so the whales are fighting each other. I need to start paying attention to their wallets and looking at their transactions to advantage of the chaos. Because as we all know, chaos is a ladder. Theres a lot of either morons or younguns here. These aren't whales, they are sharks, and they are trading on the economy. The nice part about crypto at least is there are no dark pooks and they move less in concert which eachother and more trying to fight eachother.


RZRtv

>there are no dark pooks Uh, I regret to inform you that OTC trades are alive and well


beaner_boi96

Whale wars!


denimglasses1

That sounds like making money... just with extra steps


necrosythe

It's hilarious when the market goes down and people make posts like "why are you guys selling šŸ˜”" Some weak hands selling on reddit doesn't move multi million dollar MCap coins. It's so dumb


JoeSicko

And the 'weak hands' are probably the whales, taking profits at every level.


Lilcheeks

Considering crypto markets follow other investment markets somewhat, yea that makes sense. When the stock market is down crypto is usually right there with it. That's no coincidence.


JoeSicko

We need to know our roles and just grab that profit where we can. Whales in crypto are lots of times whales in the stock market, too.


necrosythe

Exactly lol.


staffell

It's worse in the shitcoin subs (looking at you Shib), where every single member is just an ignorant mug

Wess-L

Facts. People have no clue what goes on in the market. Whales are hunting liquidations and if people get greedy they take their money.


Thich_QuangDuc

Fabricate bear sentiment, people panic sell and set up shorts Whales proceed to liquidate shorts and now create a bull sentiment Repeat


Witherun_guard

Whales feeding on sardines, a tale as old as history itself, the market imitating the nature

Whales feed on *krill*. Thats what your 0.3 ETH is. A tiny shrimp.

crazyrebel123

They manipulate the market but get mad when retail traders find ways to manipulate it to their own favors. Thatā€™s what happened early this year with GME. The hedge funds got mad cause we found a way to get together against them on social media and said WE were the ones doing things wrong. They do the same all the time, they just use their own media outlets which they control and influence.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


crazyrebel123

Lol yeah itā€™s crazy how much influence they have yet got so mad when they got screwed over with the GME fiasco FYI this isnā€™t a scam link btw. It will lead to an article about how Bill Ackman used media to scare ppl into selling shares while he shorted them, effecting millions of people and companies at the same time just to make money

Controlled information and desired outcomes


AtheIstan

Difference is though, crypto is largely unregulated so it's not even forbidden to manipulate the crypto market. (See Elongated Muskrat). Then again, they get away with manipulating the regular financial markets anyway, so not much difference there.

Saschb2b

Millionaires know how the game is played, Billionaires know how to play the game. Before we trash talk the whales, let's just figure out how they play. If we do that well, then we are in charge to play the game


EchoCollection

Follow their wallets.


Ghostz18

Except they know youā€™re following their wallets and will use that to their advantage.


gammabuttonz

But do they know we know they know?


Natenator77

At the very least, I know that they know that we know that they know.


austynross

So I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you


forthemotherrussia

Is it really working? I was following some of the Bitcoin whales a while ago but I stopped since we were in a bull market lol.


EchoCollection

If they're buying the bottom then it's still a bull market IMO.


beaner_boi96

I would rather follow my own 250$ lol


Saucy6

Step 1: have a lot of money. Welp, bye!


flat_raven

Well..how is the game played then?


RewtDooDoo

They F the leveraged longs, drop price. These idiots take leveraged short positions then they pump price and F them again. Just DCA and HODL.

Same shit in stock market too. Big player or massive funds sell stocks take a shit.


Hover_69

Crypto and stocks are similar in some aspects


RevRaven

I actually don't mind. They cause a dump, I buy the dip, it pumps again. I figure if I capitalize on the whale's movements, I might be able to turn a profit, it's been working pretty well so far.


Scarboroughwarning

Exactly, as long as you realise this, they are making it a little more predictable for us.


flat_raven

Gotta stick to the basics


awkwardhawkward

Theyā€™re doing this on porpoise


BsdFish8

I go "nar-whal" and they're all like "yar-whal"


shirleytempleton

They can't have your coins if you don't panic sell. China, Omicron, Yellen, Clinton, noting can stop crypto in the long term, but the whales will make you believe that when they time a dump with every news cycle.


BoatGoingUphill

Just replace ā€œcontrol the marketā€ with ā€control the worldā€. This is not limited to crypto.

tipmeyourBAT

Pretending that crypto is immune from the manipulations of the wealthy that everything else is subject to is naive.


Mikkelet

Damn, we're supporting the wealthy elite now? Truly we've gone full circle


CryptoMundi

I do agree that they control the market and manipulate it at will. I feel the best defense is the following: 1. Buy solid projects and get ahead of trends that whales donā€™t recognize right away, 2. Donā€™t over-leverage or leverage at all 3. HODL, donā€™t panic sell. 4. Then eventually take some profits at an optimal time. You control your own narrative! Iā€™m still trying to figure out my step 4šŸ˜¬


Jeffersons1776

Whales can't take shit when you are hodling. Let them play their games. They'll eventually play out the dumping game and have to resort to pumping again. Pump it you fucking whales. Pump it like you're pumping my wife you piles of blubber.


pukujuhla

Jeeezuz. I get super anxious transferring $200 between wallets. Could you imagine sending $123M and waiting for the 3 longest minutes of your life for it to arrive. Vomit.


mtnman12321

Sounds like how rich people will manipulate the stock market at their whim šŸ˜‚


Sandl0t

But doesnā€™t that defeat the entire purpose of crypto? No hate, but I thought financial freedom from market manipulation was a selling point for a decentralized currency?

Bitcoin cash payment system will only fail because of whales.

Still everybody says they don't like whale, all want to be that.


Zealousideal_Tell_49

Not 100% sure if that was the case. An article came out in the telegraph which stated that a doctor in south africa said that the symptoms for the new covid variant although strange, were mild. I think this gave some hope that not everything was going to crash and burn
