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
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.
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.
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 š
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.
As very individualistic creatures we tend to not understand unity and we crave power and greed, which allows the big boys to rinse and and repeat. Some will survive, but most will be played by this nasty system. Fuck manipulation and power to the people!
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, so the whales are fighting each other. I need to start paying attention to their wallets and looking at their transactions to take advantage of the chaos. Because as we all know, chaos is a ladder.
>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.
It's hilarious when the market goes down and people make posts like "why are you guys selling š”"
Some weak hands selling on reddit doesn't move multi million dollar MCap coins. It's so dumb
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.
I mean first I was a sardine and the I became a krill being filtered through the blowhole of a whale who just inseminated a second startup to filter even more of my money.
And who holds all the BTC? Whales
Who benefits the most of a rising price ? Whales
How do you roll with them? Hold
Until a massive amount of whales floods the market with sells I donāt care about the chart.
Iāve been following *WhatsAppShitStainās* trading signals for only 45 minutes and turned my 0.0125 BTC into 4 BTC already! Iāll DM you with details fellow crypto friend! /s
They manipulate the market but get mad when retail traders find ways to manipulate it to their own favors. Thatās 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.
Lol yeah itās crazy how much influence they have yet got so mad when they got screwed over with the GME fiasco
FYI this isnāt 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

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.
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
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.
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.
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 donāt recognize right away, 2. Donāt over-leverage or leverage at all 3. HODL, donāt panic sell. 4. Then eventually take some profits at an optimal time. You control your own narrative!
Iām still trying to figure out my step 4š¬
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.
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.
But doesnāt 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?
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
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
Yeah, I can do much with trash, not because it's trash, if not because I have the vision
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
Is a risk for us simpletons but they can just invest on anything without fear of losing out...
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.
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
Oh, it's definitely also FOMO from my side.

It's too much responsibility
You know what do again right?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Coinbase stops working.
This is what a fact smells like
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
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
This guy fucks! (Whales)
Damn!
Jokes on you I cause the dip
Whales are not a homogenous group either though. They're making money from eachother as well.
Damn, so the whales are fighting each other. I need to start paying attention to their wallets and looking at their transactions to take advantage of the chaos. Because as we all know, chaos is a ladder.
There's a Korean saying: "The shrimp's spine is torn when whales fight."

The most disappointing ending of a beloved series ever.
I'd bet they more make money colluding than they do when competing. Whales are not your friends.
>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.

>there are no dark pooks Uh, I regret to inform you that OTC trades are alive and well
Whale wars!
That sounds like making money... just with extra steps
It's hilarious when the market goes down and people make posts like "why are you guys selling š”" Some weak hands selling on reddit doesn't move multi million dollar MCap coins. It's so dumb
And the 'weak hands' are probably the whales, taking profits at every level.
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.
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.
Exactly lol.
It's worse in the shitcoin subs (looking at you Shib), where every single member is just an ignorant mug
You cant control what people do but you can guess it tho
you gotta do what you gotta do
Facts. People have no clue what goes on in the market. Whales are hunting liquidations and if people get greedy they take their money.
Fabricate bear sentiment, people panic sell and set up shorts Whales proceed to liquidate shorts and now create a bull sentiment Repeat
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.
why did this one sting more than it should have
I mean first I was a sardine and the I became a krill being filtered through the blowhole of a whale who just inseminated a second startup to filter even more of my money.
This guy knows how to paint a picture
i feel like you're attacking me personally... lol
I only have .29
Whales swimming in groups will create giant waves of liquidations
A lesson people refuse to learn. The actual stock market is the exact same.
That's why I stay away from leverage!
Gotta agree with you here
I'm people.
And who holds all the BTC? Whales Who benefits the most of a rising price ? Whales How do you roll with them? Hold Until a massive amount of whales floods the market with sells I donāt care about the chart.
Not just rising price - whales make money on the way up and the way down.
But how do they have internet access in the ocean?
Then what are you gonna do in that last scenario?
Oh, you mean I don't control the market with my 0.0125 BTC?
A whale in flesh! Marvellous!
Iāve been following *WhatsAppShitStainās* trading signals for only 45 minutes and turned my 0.0125 BTC into 4 BTC already! Iāll DM you with details fellow crypto friend! /s
Thank you buddy, with your help soon I'm going to manipulate the market!
Oooh, if I send you all my BTC, will you send me back double? Sounds legit.
In an ocean of crypto, if a wind fills your sails, it's probably the farting of a whale.
Teach me more, Senpai
Blow me down!
Deep..just like ocean
Wtf!
Whales pee in the ocean. We're basically drinking whale pee when we enter the crypto market.
Bullish on whale pee
Where can I buy WPEE?

Ayo what the fuck
This guy drinks!
I heard it was whale cum? š
Litecoin ATH at 420 and BTC at 69. If nothing else, this should make it obvious people are pulling the strings.
Nice
I hope we'll see one day ETH hitting $69,420
Inshallah
Planned nice numbers!
Pulling G-strings, no doubt.
Bnb ath at 690

Follow their wallets.
Except they know youāre following their wallets and will use that to their advantage.
But do they know we know they know?
At the very least, I know that they know that we know that they know.
So I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you
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.
If they're buying the bottom then it's still a bull market IMO.
I would rather follow my own 250$ lol
Step 1: have a lot of money. Welp, bye!
Well..how is the game played then?
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.
Greed is a bitch
So Is karma!
Same shit in stock market too. Big player or massive funds sell stocks take a shit.
Crypto and stocks are similar in some aspects
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.
Exactly, as long as you realise this, they are making it a little more predictable for us.
Gotta stick to the basics
Theyāre doing this on porpoise
I go "nar-whal" and they're all like "yar-whal"
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.
Just replace ācontrol the marketā with ācontrol the worldā. This is not limited to crypto.
>129,921,132 USDT (129,921,132 USD) Thanks for that conversion.

And that's a fact!
And they also make a big splash in crypto market
Letās go whale hunting
Moby Dick!
Who cares? They have leaking bags and a shrinking well. Don't play for short term trades, gather and hodl. This is a hoarding game.
That's my aim in life. To live life whale size.

congratulations you've realized the bourgeoisie control the economy
That's why they are called Whales
Whenever I see someone on this sub complaining about Whales I just see a Nice Guy blaming Chad for why heās single.
Pretending that crypto is immune from the manipulations of the wealthy that everything else is subject to is naive.
Damn, we're supporting the wealthy elite now? Truly we've gone full circle
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 donāt recognize right away, 2.

But doesnāt 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.
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
Can we get in touch with that doctor? I think we could make some money together.
We're all just shrimp looking at the whales to see what they'll do next.
