We have a lot of speculations in the crypto world ! In fact, it's not only in this world, but in the fiat system as well. How many times we see a national currency going up and down depending on the news we have about the country and their leaders. There are big companies working on that. They are the real traders. They can manipulate the market in the direction they want ! The same about crypto whales and cryptocurrency founders. It's really easy to do if someone has enough money and mass media influence. The worse is when such speculator is an influencer in both, crypto and politics. They can do whatever they want because they have
immunity !
I was motivated to write this after reading the post of @edicted about The enemy of my enemy is my friend?. I knew I'd find something interesting there. But I didn't understand why we should still care about the guy who took over steem. He's no one for me. Just another very rich guy who wants to market his token (tron) and who uses very crazy ways to promote it. The news about Chinese governments following him could be fake or true, I don't care that much. All I know is that when such people want to promote something, they can come up with any stories to make themselves more famous. To make people talk about them. To support their rating on the web. They even can create very bad news about themselves. They may do bad things as well to have the attention of the public. Such people are clever like foxes and toxic like snakes. You all know what this guy did to all of us, will he be lenient to others ? He'll just keep pushing his agenda. Nothing new.
The same about so many crypto influencers. Some of them claim they created bitcoin and create a fork and call it the real bitcoin. Some of them sell cars using bitcoin and then say that's centralized to use another worthless crypto to pump it. Some try to ban crypto altogether, saying that people may use it for crimes, while more crimes are already committed with fiat. So, telling that a guy who wants to make it possible to show anything to the world is doing a bad thing, maybe not that right. I'm not defending him at all, but I mean that the decentralization should be censorship free as well. When a year ago my kid was watching a cartoon and a promotion started on YouTube showing a horror movie to my two-year-old boy, that wasn't blocked or removed because a big cinema company paid a lot for that. Why does the centralized world have the right to show what they want and decentralized shouldn't have that? Horror movies aren't blocked on the web in most countries. But, they block anything against the government or against their interests, like the truth people share about the pandemic or vaccination.
I mean, we shouldn't buy it. Such news are just to create hypes around already famous, wealthy and untouched people by their governments. And even vice versa, those people can be used to promote interests of very influential people in the world who may control the whole crypto and real worlds.
Such news could be just manipulations of the market to speculate after that.
The 1% control the world. We peasants find ways around most of them providing we take the initiative. I trust governments to do the right thing about as far as I can throw Michael Moore into a headwind. lol
