Long-term investor | HODL mindset. I don't day trade. I research projects I believe in and hold through cycles. Think 4-year cycles, not 4-hour candles. Patience pays.
This bear market is absolutely unhinged. Someone's clearly getting their cheese moved.
Recent drama:
- Binance reportedly investigating proactive market makers. Last bear cycle, they'd pump alts every few months to keep the market alive (remember World Cup sport tokens?)
- Now whales are openly calling out RAVE after its 100x pump. Even more wild? BG insiders are defending it 😂
On BG: Massive respect for Xie Jiayin. But that female CEO (whoever she is)? Clearly not crypto-native. Everything she says feels like she's mocking retail.
Here's my take: Instead of drama-farming 100x pumps, how about calling out coins that listed, dumped, and STILL haven't been delisted? That's the real issue killing trust in this market.
Bear markets expose who's actually building vs. who's just extracting.
Still don't get why pumping a coin gets you prosecuted.
Like are we pretending market makers don't exist? Every single token has whales moving it. That's the game.
At least when there's active positioning, there's liquidity and price discovery. Better than dead coins sitting at zero volume doing absolutely nothing.
The regulatory theater is getting ridiculous. You want organic price action? Good luck finding it in a market this thin.
