Anyone else feeling the sting of today’s brutal market moves? The $ETH drop to $2125 after Bitcoin barely dipped by 10% to $92K was beyond frustrating. It’s crazy how easily whales can manipulate these markets, and it’s becoming clear that, despite everything, they always come out on top.
Here’s an eye-opening fact: back in 2011, two individuals who settled a lawsuit with Facebook acquired 0.21% of all Bitcoin—around 100K $BTC —and they've been hoarding it ever since. This kind of concentration of wealth in the hands of a few is a glaring issue, yet it’s something that people continue to overlook in the crypto market, which is largely unregulated. Despite the highs and lows, the market remains vulnerable to manipulation, leaving ordinary investors at risk.
It’s true that the market will likely recover and eventually push past the $100K mark, but it raises a critical question: should we continue trusting an unregulated environment for a market this size? Large institutions that push for crypto deregulation can sell off their holdings and influence the market because they know that without strict regulations, they can maintain control. The reality is that most traders, regardless of experience, struggle to navigate this landscape and get caught up in the emotional rollercoaster that the whales masterfully orchestrate.
And for those who might suggest I got liquidated due to using high leverage or poor strategy—let me clarify. I was on a 5X leverage with just a $100 margin on $ETH and have been trading on Binance for over five years. The fact remains that regardless of experience, the system is rigged in favor of those who can manipulate it, leaving most of us on the losing end. Spot trading offers low returns unless you have significant capital, making it tough to achieve meaningful gains without high-risk maneuvers. In this game, it’s clear: the whales always win.
