@corleonescrypto a lot of people put $2k into shitcoins a few years ago and watched it go to zero

@nicrypto Exchanges selling customer funds or lending it out to third parties who dump it on the open market and give you rewards while price falls down 99%.

@CryptoMichNL In Feb 2018, fear and greed hit 8, it led to a bounce, but BTC still dropped 50% later that year.
not every low in the fear and greed corresponds to a macro low. sometimes they are just local lows

This is a phenomenal overview of the recent periods of 'Extreme Fear' in the markets.
What did happen eventually?
Well, just check the numbers beneath any number.
Price goes up astronomically after every crash.
This time won't be different for #Bitcoin.

@LiteStrategy @coingecko Litecoin will survive and make a new all time high. I'm accumulating and withdrawing.

In your opinion Bitcoin is the only store of value.
Litecoin is also a store of value with 84 million max supply 1/4 of Bitcoin.

Ok here’s your question for the Bitcoin evangelists. And it’s an incredibly important question.
You say Bitcoin is financial freedom and it’s going to $1,000,000, correct?
And there will be only 21,000,000 coins, correct?
Then how is BTC financial freedom for the 8 billion people who currently do not own any Bitcoin? How is providing epic life altering wealth to just 1.3% of the world’s population (only 100m people actually own any Bitcoin) the solution to wealth inequality?
They will give you their gibberish. And then ask them if they are willing to part with their coins immediately to ensure social cohesion.
There’s your answer folks. It’s a scam

@TheWhiteWhaleV2 Exchanges putting customers funds on the line to show you a sell wall that doesn't exist. It's just manipulation. That's why it's important to withdraw your funds from exchanges to stop the manipulation.
English

Gloves off. I'm F$%*ing pissed.
A little over three hours ago our monitoring systems alerted us to a very unusually sized sell limit order on ByBit spot. Close to $200K in value.
We saw the order flip in and out of view (classic signs of spoofing).
I attacked the sell wall by placing a couple of large market orders, and magically it disappeared afterwards (even tho my buys were no where near the size to knock it out, my goal was just to damage it). Seems like someone didn't want to sell after all.
Large "spoofed" sell walls are intended to accomplish one function: trick bots, algo traders and regular humans into believing there is much more resistance immediately above price than below it.
This taking place on a weekend with low organic volume is no accident.
They continued to "walk down" the price until they got what they came for, which was long liquidations. And of course as soon as those liquidations were achieved the very large spoof order disappeared from the books.
This blatant market manipulation is easy to spot on lower market-cap tokens, but this is what goes on all day every day in crypto.
Who is doing this?
It's not ByBit themselves. They are a fairly well-respected Tier One exchange and unlike other shady CEXs they don't need to market make their own books.
This is clearly a large actor who stood to benefit from the price move. The most likely culprit? Whoever is performing the market making on the perps book.
The problem is that any one of a number of Market Makers can market make any token they want. Once they are approved to access the exchange there's nothing stopping them from doing this.
We never asked for a perps listing. If we had been asked we would have said we didn't want one. It's too easy to let perps drive price discovery for a lot less capital invested. I believe price discovery should be driven by spot, at the very least until asset maturity.
How are they doing this?
They use a combination of DEX selling, CEX selling, CEX spoof falls to trigger their desired outcome. Then they buy the dips they force to take place. They reload cheaply once they trigger a cascade because bot and human selling help them lower price to their targets. That's when they load up. Which is why they can repeat this all day long and not lose money on the spot buys they make.
What can we do about it?
So much of spot trading is bot/algo driven. We can't reprogram every bot to identify spoofed liquidity and not respond to it. It's literally a robot war. Bots deceiving each other. Bots not wanting to take the risk that the resistance isn't real and hedging on the side of caution.
Buying into the initial dump feels logical, but you're just allowing them to exit at a higher profit.
Instead, one tactic that we are deploying is putting limit buy orders just above where the liquidation clusters start on a move forward basis. We don't want to feed their profitability by trying to prevent the move but if we know their destination we do want to make that final journey as expensive as possible. This is because they will be forced to expend tokens at what is likely close to a break even or perhaps even a loss to make the move, making it much less rewarding.
Additionally we have submitted yet another report to @Bybit_Official 's market surveillance team asking for an investigation. We do not know who the actor is, naturally (CEXs are black boxes) but we do know what activity is taking place. It is our sincere hope that our partners at @Bybit_Official take steps to reduce or eliminate this activity. Legal and internal definitions of "spoofing" vary greatly, and its very likely the actor knows how to conduct this behavior in a method that evades falling into the "spoofing" definition. That does not, however, mean that it is not active market manipulation - which is against their Terms of Service.
We aren't sleeping on the job. We are literally monitoring these sorts of things 24 hours a day. We have seen their tactics shift and adapt as our tactics have shifted and adapted. (My favorite was when they attempted to hide the spoofing activity by also spoofing some on the buy side, although with much less money to still make the sell side seem more powerful).
When the chart only makes sense once you look at a liquidation heatmap? Chances are someone applied these sorts of tactics to make it happen.
This is why supply control is so very important, and why the Treasury is still accumulating supply on a daily basis.
By making supply more scarce, and in the hands of actual stewards of the project (the project itself and its loyal community), these types of games become more difficult the more time goes on.
I have spent so much time putting counter-moves up against the blatant market manipulation its taken away time from other things I should be doing. Like writing new video scripts, crafting new educational posts, etc.
So why am I so pissed right now? Well, because today I lost. I've been winning the war a lot lately, but just wasn't able to pull of a victory today. But more than that, because this kind of nonsense should not be allowed to take place to begin with.
Sadly it does...all day long...on every asset in crypto.
This is why I've said since my appearance on X that the goal of trading in this space is to understand the Apex Predator so that you can walk in harmony with them, instead of being their prey.
For the love of all that is holy, don't leverage trade our token. They are hunting. Shorts will be the next ones hunted.

@LTCDeepDive @coinbase Charts reflect reality from a Pearce ed value perspective.
If you say the charts lie then you are saying investors are unable to differentiate value. That would be a bolt and arrogant statement (if you think you know better)
English

Both #BTC & #LTC shown, start at 100 (same starting line, same opportunity).
BTC compounds strongly over time in a classic exponential-style advance.
LTC goes mostly sideways with rallies, but no sustained relative trend.
This is opportunity cost in picture form.
So even when $LTC pumps, it fails to keep up on a normalised basis.
$BTC volatility works for you over time; LTC volatility mostly churns.
This is why LTC can feel cheap for years while still underperforming badly.
This chart is so powerful because
No price anchoring
No denomination bias
Just pure relative performance
Hopium addicts say, but LTC hasn’t moved yet, this chart answers - It’s been moving, just not in your favour.

@elonmusk In my view, Elon Musk backed Trump because he could influence him. When that kind of influence doesn’t work in Europe, the tone shifts to hostility, pressure, and narratives pushed through his own social media platform.
So Elon, why did you really buy Twitter?

Honestly, the healthiest outcome for crypto might be @VitalikButerin building a centralized exchange on @ethereum that everyone actually trusts. If most liquidity consolidated there, we could finally reduce Binance & Coinbase manipulation and focus on real innovation.

@cz_binance We all know that in your dictionary, scamming is winning

Winning is the best response to FUD.

Also, FUD is the worst response to losing. but dont' tell them🤫🤣

@elonmusk I have only one question: how much Dogecoin did you dump? What percentage of your wealth did you make from Dogecoin? Must be in the billions, right?
The world’s wealthiest man would have the power to stop the dump and fight exchange manipulation, am I right?

@intocryptoverse I will be buying heavy as soon the breakdown starts♥️

*#BTC just dropped below the April 2025 low.*
If it does not bounce soon, this is going to be one hell of a midterm year.
If it can bounce, it gives us a few months and gets us closer to October without so much bad price action (likely the bottom in time).
I feel like the bear narrative has been really strong for a while, and so I would expect a countertrend rally soon so that it gives the bulls some hope for a while.
However, I have learned my lesson in prior cycles, so I do not attempt to trade them. Countertrend rallies can happen, but sometimes they happen when you least expect them, not when everyone expects them.
It makes sense to assume that a sweep of a prior low would offer some relief, as that has been true for BTC even during the bull market.
But in 2014/2018/2022 when BTC fell below the 100W SMA, it was straight to the 200W SMA before any relief occurred.
The time to sell BTC was late last year, not panicking on dumps in the midterm year.
I just try and focus on the bigger picture and the bigger picture is that late Q3/early Q4 will be a better time to move real money back into the market.
Between now and then it is just people trying to make money during difficult times by trying to trade support/resistance levels.
