Personally I think Binance's CZ is responsible for the price manipulation of Bitcoin.
Supporting evidence:
#1 WASH TRADING
None of these volumes make a lick of sense, and we could probably assemble the biggest Bitcoin holders (BSV) and find out their trading volumes for the day, and we'd find it's pretty much ZERO, making these fairytale mirage-volumes even more redonkulous.
#2 Exchanges Expose
We can eliminate IndoEx as pure fiction. Bitspay is more revealing at #2 in volume tho: the fact it's #1 pair is "BNB" the CZ-kkkoyne, tells us a lot about who is setting up the wash trades. Would it be surprising if the CIA / FBI / Euro3LAs / etc... were able to trace IndoEx to CZ? I don't think so. At the very least the world could effectively shut down the fraud of IndoEx, and also put pressure on Bitspay to participate in simple KYC/AML; whereas now, nobody has a clue who owns these POS.
#3 Here Comes the Sun
The only semi-verified exchanges in the list are both "reportedly" (because Bitcoin toesn't trade on first-world exchanges for a good reason: Dorsey, Backwards Adam, FOGMax, COPA and other dark bitcoin-wannabes all made sure it doesn't-- dating back to a 2019 strategy of delisting. For a while there was Bittrex which gave SOME legitimacy to Bitcoin, back when it occasionally went on catalyst-induced runs, but no longer. Since Bittrex died it's almost been one-sided.) JSun exchanges: HTX & POLONIEX are both widely reported to be "under the thumb" of one Justin Sun, who seems to have a strong relationship with Mr CZ-Binance.
#4 REAL Bitcoin volumes
We have to go several pages deep on the exchange-volume-ranked list to get to the first REAL volumes-- based on fiat. As per CZ's CoinMarketCap (yes, he even owns the most common crypto-data provider website-- volume-weighted to his liking, no doubt) the first REAL volumes for Bitcoin is on Kucoin's BSV/USeDC at $5,938 today. That's not a units-based typo; "five grand" worth of Bitc(oin traded in the last 24 hours as of the timestamp of this tweet on Kucoin using a stablecoin that's at least POSING as a legit dollar-based trade. No, Tether (USDT) does not count for measuring volume (IMNSHBVEO). You want REAL fiat, not some coinbasey piece of garbage "stablecoin" BS? Then your first PUBLIC option (unless you query Hlynur directly for his likely market-leading numbers) comes from Australia (home to Satoshi himself) at "BTC Markets" @BTCMarkets. The 24 hour volume here, today, is $7, as in "seven dollars".
Bitcoin (BSV) isn't the only manipulated price-- they're ALL likely manipulated, and probably by the same entities. Seriously(at least)-concieved digital coins like ICP and CryptoKitties' conception, Stacks and others (perhaps Algorand?) also get the downward dog treatement, while known fraud-riddled kkkoynes like btc, eth, Tether, BNB, XRP, Solana (Sam Bankman's fave), TRON, Unus Sed Leo, stay near the top.
Future?
Look out for potential regime-changes, as the tRump administration has clearly chosen to support these charlatans (pardoning convincted, even self-admitted in CZ's case, high-felons such as CZ, FreeRoss, etc...). Perhaps only Celsius Network got the shaft, as Mashinsky got 30 years prison (Where is top Celsius creditor/investor Michael "Niklaus Weber" Gronager these days again?) for FAR less than was attached to a guy like tRumpMafia-pardoned CZ. Is it any surprise that one of the top 20 cryptocurrencies is new-comer World Liberty Financial's USD1 stablecoin and World Liberty Financial kkkoyne too? Just guess who supports those? (follow the money-> hint: try "CZ" when searching)
Both political sides, in the US at least, have tapped cryptocurrency space for campaign funds, but only one party has been burnt (Democrats -> Sammie Fries Bankman). But it sure looks like they won't be the last party to get burnt as time goes by.
Mess with the bull-- get the horns. It's not just for bull markets anymore; it's for any politicians who think they can tap the power of fakery-kkkoynes without consequence.
But until we have catalysts such as a new political wind (whichever type that may come), it's all just a casino, and only those who actually USE Bitcoin as a commodity will have staying power.
And always remember, greed typically destroys itself-- as it's a zero-sum game and worse. Things like cryptocurrencies go by the " Principle" of criminal enterprises: "THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE" and everyone else is "voted off the island" (to borrow the TV show "Survivor"'s one-liner). Then when there's only one left, the "Pablo Principle" applies, which is that the losers come back collectively to take out the winner in the end. Ye ole "Prisoner's Dilemma" which has already been used in 2022, and will be used again when those at the controls set the course for the Sun.
