This 2,000-Year-Old Strategy Is Still Used by Crypto Whales Today 💰
(Spoiler: It worked better than TA.)
Before there were charts, alpha groups, or meme coins…
there were kings, conquerors, and coin hoarders.
And guess what?
Some of their strategies still work —
just renamed in crypto slang.
📜 Case Study: King Croesus of Lydia (6th century BC)
First ruler to issue pure gold & silver coins
Accumulated wealth so massive, “rich as Croesus” became a proverb
But his real flex?
➤ He manipulated public trust by making his coinage look valuable, even when supply was flooding.
Sound familiar?
Today we call that:
🟡 Liquidity rotation
🧠 Narrative push
🤝 Social trust in token image
Croesus didn’t have CoinGecko.
But he understood one thing:
➤ Perception of value > actual value
So next time you see a meme coin moon off hype and aesthetics…
Remember:
it’s not new.
It’s just Lydia, 2.0.
