for years on the social media regarding bitcoin, we have been hearing these words "China is controlling bitcoin" i have always shook my head in disappointment after seeing how many people fall for the manipulative words.
And apparently they were right. Bitcoin exchanges paused the trading for one month, while insiders benefited from this information while the average joe lost alot of money. Bitcoin is centralized from all points of views: mining, development, political centralization at both government level and development level. Not only they control the mining, but they easily about 50% of the bitcoin aswell, given the trading volume in china. And don't tell me they "bought" it because china is a poor country. They mined it.
nonsense.
average Joe shouldn't even be "trading" bitcoin to lose lots of money in the first place. they either have to be a trader or invest long term.
also there are two more things if the average Joe had bought bitcoin 2+ weeks ago he is still in profit!
also if he continues holding price will go back up after this shitstorm of manipulation passes.
50% haha that is 8 million bitcoin aka nearly 8 billion dollar. and besides trading volume is
trading volume not how much Chinese hold. if you buy 10
BTC now and sell 10
BTC when price goes up 6 hours later the
trading volume will be 20
BTC and you see this 20
BTC and think China is holding 20
BTC whereas they hold nothing except fiat!
