ah, crypto - the future
P&D/manipulation is totally an issue. its something ive been digging into - its not new, in any market. Crypto just gets more legs now because obvs it blew up. mass FOMO and that whole 20k per BTC madness...was a crazy ride!
But yeah, P&D is a thing and its a big problem with the lower market cap alt coins because theyre more easily manipulated. it's not good but i find that kind of thing super interesting.
the bcash P&D was as equally impressive and famous as it was wrong and insane. lots of newbs are getting horridly played by that particular coin and a cartel of pricks and its pretty disgusting. its actually wrecked the crypto community on reddit and in forums in general, compared to how it was when it was jus people interested in the tech and not the value, those were the best times. when satoshi was still posting and it was all about the opportunities btc gave to people all over the world.
im surprised you dont dig it!
i still honestly feel anyone thats trying to deny crypto is either not clued up enough/doesnt realise its potential, (and its easy to get caught up in the FUD) or theyre a bored troll type esque person, which you clearly arent.
Theyre so many benefits, bro. fuck the pointless middle man thats been charging extortionate fees for generations, we're past that, and thats just the start. Paypal will probably be the first real crypto victim. Just recently $90m worth of litecoin was sent across the globe in under 150 seconds for around 40cents...c'mon dude...its happening
