The crypto market has always been presented as a financial revolution promising freedom from banks and regulators. However, the deeper you dive into it, the clearer it becomes: this is not a utopia of decentralization but a platform for a global financial game where not everyone wins.
How does this market work?
At first glance, cryptocurrency seems like a spontaneous and uncontrolled phenomenon. But if you carefully trace the cycles of growth and decline, it becomes clear that large players — institutional investors, hedge funds, and market makers — are behind the market movements.
Each new cycle repeats:
1. Accumulation — large funds buy assets during moments of panic and low liquidity when retail investors capitulate.
2. Pump — positive news is released to the market, hype is generated, and media and influencers are activated.
3. Peak and distribution — the crowd euphorically buys at inflated prices while whales lock in profits.
4. Crash — the market sharply declines, investors panic and sell assets, while large players begin to accumulate them again at low prices.
This scheme repeats over and over, and in each cycle, retail investors serve as a source of liquidity for large funds.
BlackRock and other giants: who really controls crypto?
Until recently, the crypto market appeared as a decentralized alternative to traditional finance. But with the arrival of structures like BlackRock, Fidelity, and Grayscale, it became clear that the game is now played by new rules.
The launch of a Bitcoin ETF appears to be a positive event that attracts institutional money. But in the long run, it creates a mechanism of complete control over the crypto industry. Now the largest financial corporations can:
• Manipulating the price while holding huge reserves of BTC;
• Influencing regulation by promoting favorable laws;
• Making crypto dependent on traditional financial structures.
Cryptocurrency, conceived as a tool for decentralization, is gradually becoming yet another element of the global financial system controlled by the same players who control the stock market.
What is left for the retail investor to do?
1. Studying market cycles. Do not buy at peaks and do not sell in panic.
2. Not giving in to hype. If major media start actively promoting an asset, it is likely already a signal to exit rather than enter.
3. Using accumulation strategies. In the long run, averaging yields better results than trying to catch peaks and bottoms.
4. Understanding that 'quick profit' is a trap. If someone talks about 100x, it means someone else has already exited that position, leaving it to you.
Conclusion
The crypto market is not a chaotic ecosystem of free money, but a well-planned game in which retail investors are more likely to be victims than winners. While the crowd chases easy money, large players methodically collect profits, managing the market by their rules.
