When #satoshiNakamato launched #bitcoin in 2009, its vision was to create a decentralized financial system, free from the manipulation of central banks and traditional financial institutions. A system where economic power would return to the hands of the people. A beautiful utopia that, fourteen years later, has turned into a dystopia where manipulation is more blatant than on Wall Street, only without any regulation.
The cruel irony is that the current #criptomonedas market is possibly the most manipulated financial environment on the planet. While cryptocurrency advocates preach about financial freedom and the democratization of money, an elite of whales, #exchanges and algorithmic traders control every aspect of the market, from price movements to the narratives you consume on social media.
It is not a conspiracy theory. It is a documented fact, supported by on-chain data, forensic analysis of transactions, and the testimonies of those who have operated from within the system. Manipulation is not the exception in the crypto market; it is the fundamental rule that governs it.
