    Iam still a newbie with Bitcoin and learning but i now understand the scheme... Some rich people manipulate the thing by buying many Bitcoins, it start a wave up, lot's of people jump in, the bubble inflate and suddenly these rich people pull out with massive profits and the bubble burst. Repeat.

    Am i right?

    • Certainly seems that way.Continuity
    • except for 'rich ppl' and 'bitcoin' ... it's just how markets work.
      And there is still lots of value in bitcoin, lots of the big investments will hodl.

    • they a re betting against gold and the dollar as value keeper. and they expect bitcoin to stay around for years.uan
    • Nothing to do with rich ppl, Bennn. It just lingers around until volume kicks in and people start buying. It goes up and what goes up must come down.NBQ00
    • Nothing just goes up in a straight line all the time. Bitcoin already went from like 10K’s to 40K’s on this wave which is a big move. So naturally...NBQ00

    • ...it has to correct the move a bit. Just how markets and technicals work in trading and charts.NBQ00
    • And most of the time the majority of people usually buy at the top or close to the top because they hesitate and then they chase due to FOMO.NBQ00
    • did you look at volume in relation to price movement to draw that conclusion?shapesalad
    • you're perfectly describing bubble scheme, like beanie babiesmonospaced
    • there's no other reason the price changes than the volume of trading, nothing at allmonospaced
    • Unfortunately, it's not based on news or anything related to anything tangible or significant like a business would have.monospaced
    • A regular market works the same, except you can buy on futures prospects, business decisions, transparent competition and reporting. So, not the same, uan.monospaced
    • Mono, you should’ve invested in Bitcoin 10 years ago. Or bought Beanie babies lolNBQ00
    • they just don‘t have them yet for bitcoin but they (big banks) made those calculations and they know it‘s here to stay.uan
    • or they bet on it...probably because they know technolgy behind it is superior than what we are used to.uan
    • @uan show me one US financial institution what openly invested in bitcoin.
      not alt-coins or "creates its own crypto" stuff.

    • paypal though idk if they are still USowneduan
    • according to a lawsuit in 2002 paypal is a fintech company not a financial institution.
      NEXT.
      sted
    • May 2015 lawsuit about PayPal credit accounts also makes it clear that it isn't a financial institution.sted
    • I wasn't aware of those categories. so I bet cashapp is also fintech.uan
