The recent BTC rally was driven by Derivatives Exchanges, not Spot Exchanges

"There is a tendency for prices to change significantly even with small trading volumes because the overall liquidity in the cryptocurrency market has decreased."

"The markets discount growth in the short run and overvalue possibilities in the long run. This is why inefficient markets exist. The only way to get around it is to be a cynical optimist.

Why cynical? Because markets are also machines that transfer money from the impatient to the patient. Rushing to own a piece of every business could burn your hands, as many VC investors (including myself) learned in the past cycle. The only way to filter is through patient observation and understanding the possibilities a product can enable before the market prices it.

Blockchains are currently in their ‘discount’ phase, which partly makes them the opportunity of a lifetime in disguise."

god.pdf a piece on how whales/MMs manipulate markets and their thought processes with an example on doge back in 2019 advantageous to read #reads #learn https://medium.com/@JoshMcGruff/the-game-of-deception-16e1d93e2f3f
Summary by Kirby
- Market Misconception: While many believe markets are random and reflect collective wisdom, manipulation by insiders and government influence is prevalent.
- Invisible Hand Myth: The notion of an "invisible hand" guiding markets is debunked; government actions and insiders drive prices.
- Insider Control: Insiders manipulate markets for profit, affecting stocks, bonds, commodities, and currencies on a large scale.
- Types of Manipulation: Manipulation extends beyond market manipulation, including social and news manipulation, forming a "Game of Deception."
- "Whale Watching": Monitoring influential investors ("whales") is a strategy to understand manipulation and profit from it.
- Volume Significance: Volume is crucial in analyzing markets; it represents activity and impacts price behavior.
- Market Positions: Traders' positions (long, short) contribute to market dynamics, and exchanges register these as volume.
- Manipulation Stages: Market manipulation involves various stages: position building, suppressing prices, test pumps, actual pumps, shakeouts, re-allocation, and dumping.
- Exit Strategies: Exiting a manipulated market involves diverse strategies, including micro-selling, exit during a pump, and using sell walls.
- Pump and Dump Process: Manipulation involves stages like test pumps, building positions, suppressing prices, and eventually orchestrating a dump for profit.
