Yes indeed. Trading is the war of highly intellectual decision makers. If you are weak, you are the victim of the pioneer in trading. They will just play with you until you surrender. In trading you must know how the movement of the market price works. And if Alt coin trading is being discussed. You MUST know what are the tactics the devs and the veterans are using to troll the noob traders to take advantage to them
I'd rather say it is the war between price manipulators for the money of the rest of traders. It is unlikely that it will the war between the manipulators themselves since they are not there for losses but for profits. If they see that there is no sure way to make money they will just stay away from trading. So the only possible way to trade successfully long term is to remain with the winning party
But unless you have an insider information, this is a very hard thing to accomplish
