In recent years, the crypto ecosystem seems to have been controlled by an invisible force, with ordinary investors continuously harvested, market emotions artificially manipulated, and accounts advocating for Proof of Work (PoW) repeatedly suppressed. Behind all of this, who exactly is afraid? And who is secretly pulling the strings?

The truth of the crypto casino

The cryptocurrency market is looked upon by many as a hope for decentralization and equality, but the reality is far from it. Some compare the crypto market to a huge 'PVP casino', where the struggle between retail investors and institutions, between market makers and ordinary investors, never stops. In this game, the grassroots often become the targets of harvesting. Bull markets bring frenzy, attracting retail investors; bear markets create panic, forcing investors to cut losses. These cyclical fluctuations are not entirely driven by natural market laws but are suspected to be carefully designed to ensure that certain forces can continuously extract cash flow.

The core of this 'harvesting' mechanism lies in information asymmetry and emotional manipulation. Retail investors are led by various KOLs, project parties, and media narratives, chasing highs and selling lows, with few able to truly see the bigger picture. When someone attempts to reveal the truth and awaken retail investors, their voices are often quickly suppressed—accounts get banned, content gets throttled, and public opinion is guided. All of this points to a disturbing possibility: the crypto ecosystem has been controlled by some 'conspiracy group'.

Who is suppressing the voice of PoW?

PoW, as the cornerstone of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, represents the spirit of decentralization and technological faith. However, in recent years, accounts advocating for PoW have frequently faced suppression. Whether it’s throttling on social media or unexplained account bans, these phenomena raise the question: who is so fearful of the rise of PoW?

The essence of PoW is fairness and transparency; it ensures the security and decentralization of the network through computational power competition. However, this characteristic may threaten those forces that rely on centralized control to manipulate the market. Once the idea of PoW takes hold, and retail investors begin to awaken to the true value of cryptocurrencies, the existing ecosystem centered on speculation and harvesting will face disruption. For this reason, certain forces seem willing to go to any lengths to maintain the status quo by suppressing the voice of PoW.

Bull and bear control and retail investor awakening

The bull and bear markets in the crypto space seem to be natural expressions of market cycles, but increasing evidence suggests that these fluctuations may be artificially created. Institutions manipulate funds, hype through media, and control information to precisely guide market sentiment. In bull markets, they promote the dream of 'financial freedom', attracting retail investors to buy at high prices; in bear markets, they create panic, forcing retail investors to sell at low prices. This cycle not only leaves retail investors with nothing but also deviates the entire cryptocurrency market from its original decentralized purpose.

Meanwhile, the awakening of retail investors is seen as the greatest threat to the existing order. Once ordinary investors begin to understand the significance of PoW, refuse to blindly chase short-term profits, and instead support truly decentralized projects, the 'casino' model of the crypto market will struggle to survive. This may be why certain forces are so fearful—they do not want retail investors to awaken, nor do they want the ideals of PoW to become mainstream.

The rise of PoW and the future of the crypto market

PoW is not only the cornerstone of Bitcoin but also a symbol of the spirit of decentralization in cryptocurrencies. Its rise signifies a new possibility: a cryptocurrency ecosystem that is no longer controlled by a few and truly belongs to the masses. However, this path is destined to be fraught with obstacles. Those who rely on centralized control and profit from harvesting retail investors will not easily relinquish their power.

Nevertheless, the wheel of history always moves forward. The awakening of retail investors, the revival of PoW, and the spread of decentralization ideals are injecting new hope into the future of the crypto market. Each act of suppression and each ban only proves the potential and threat of PoW. As more people begin to think, voice their opinions, and take action, the 'casino' of the crypto market will eventually be shattered, and a fairer, more transparent ecosystem will arrive.

The power of truth and awakening

Behind the chaos of the crypto market lies a power struggle and a contest for interests. Those secretly suppressing the voice of PoW may be working doubly hard out of fear. But the truth cannot be covered forever, and the power of awakening cannot be completely suppressed. As ordinary investors, we need to do more than just chase profits; we must learn to think independently, understand the true value of cryptocurrencies, and support those projects that are genuinely decentralized.

Who is afraid? It is those behind the scenes who fear losing control. Who will win? It is every ordinary person who dares to pursue the truth and embrace the ideals of decentralization. The future of the crypto market depends on each of our choices.
