The stock market is certainly rigged, if we define rigged as unfair. High-speed trading gives some traders an advantage over others
but for me it is skewed.  Regardless of how much the market is skewed, we have to deal with the hand we're dealt. It is what it is.

i dont think whales can move the market that much either, and as more people buy in, the distribution flattens out as more people have holdings Cheesy

I do believe that there are indeed powerful whales trying to manipulate the market, and perhaps to a certain extent they are successful.

However, because of the totally decentralized nature of the blockchain, their power of manipulating the market is definitely causing much less damage than what could happen in traditional stock markets.

I dont think whales can move the market for hundred percent because there are other small trader have their piece to move the market.
Regarding the spam, i think it can affect to bitcoin price down and of course if the bitcoin down and its time for altcoin to be raising.

Do you think the markets are 100% rigged by whales? Because that's what it seems like.

Just looking at when the bitcoin mempool was spammed, it seems to correlate with the altcoins prices raising. You can see all noobs complaining how btc is slow, expensive and outdated(while i disagree) so the method is working. Is someone spamming mempool to further boost the altcoin market and organize huge pumps and dumps?
