VC's (whether acting as or not) hire corporate market-makers (MM) with huge money bags to co-ordinate market moves.
Those co-ordinated market moves are likely co-ordinated with crypto influencers (these crypto influencers get paid in tokens or $ without ever knowing who they are actually dealing with) to bring in retail $ at the same time. They reward some retail and punish others.
If someone had control over money printer (brrr) it wouldn't matter if you lost money on paying MM. its worth the investment to alter the consciousness of the market, VCs, and retail buyers.
Psyops are propaganda campaigns, Psywars are campaigns to make true believers.
Psyops fail when the truth of the campaign is revealed. Psywars depend solely on how deeply invested the people are in the idea/ideology/investment. Its hard for the military to recruit for psyops so they depend on third-party influence a psywar operation to get people to work for them without knowing it.
Whether satoshi is real or not (a man or group of people) the original intent was good but we have enough knowledge and objective observation to know BTC was tied to nsa. its no longer a gateway drug for cypherpunks ...its a gateway drug for tradfi -> store of value.
everything i just stated is my cope... not reality... a fiction of my mind... a delusion i created to rationalize behaviour of actors. to put myself in the shoes of the most imaginable evil and conniving of people....so that i do not polarize into altruistic bypassing of reality. if one avoids thinking about evil they are bound to create it...Owning one's own capacity for evil is a necessary check against this. Once the innovation becomes known to the masses and breaks through the noise, it cannot be stopped.
