Nothing to see, move along...

<div class="text-justify">
At this point there are hundreds if not thousands of posts, tweets and articles that outline all the reasons why cryptocurrencies are here to stay. Of course, along with all the positive sentiment, depending on where within the market cycle we are in at the moment, the negativity or the FUD is never completely missing and just gets louder or softer to blend with the mood. I've often pondered on the fight that will surely come, the one of establishment vs the common man, and discovering this graphic today has added  plenty of clarity to the picture.

The <b>Digital Currency Group</b> is not just a player in the cryptocurrency space, but possibly the behemoth we never imagined would ever exist. You see, they own 81 companies and have shares or interests in plenty more. The exchanges most people use, the apps that are becoming more and more common everyday are all part of their chessboard and most of us are probably not aware of their moves.

Now, I must say I'm entirely defining some sort of ill intent here, I would not know such a thing. However, the idea most of us held of participating of an ecosystem that empowered the "common man" seems to be more unicornian that anything else. 

This is not to say that I've lost my faith on cryptocurrencies or anything of the sort, but learning these things, wetting my feet in the pool of reality, really puts things into perspective. For one, I can't claim to support free markets and not accept the fact that the <b>free market</b> has been the fertile ground for such powerful player to emerge. However, of what I am very much convinced at the moment, is that <b>manipulation</b> is most definitely real. 

Let's put some things into perspective, and remove the veil of pleasant naivety. If there is a company, a gigantic behemoth of the size of the <b>Digital Currency Group</b>, who is partially owned by <b>MasterCard</b> at that, we can certainly places bets on two fronts:


<sub>1)Cryptocurrencies are not going anywhere and will continue to grow, they are the future</sub>
<sub>2)Manipulation has always been part of the strategy.</sub>

The swings of the market then without a doubt are literally a mechanism of funneling retail investors, dumb money as they are often referred to, towards the <b>big guys</b> the ones that have always owned the building. This is not to say swings should not happen, or that there is even a system that lacks them, because of course that would not be accurate, but the <b>irrationality</b> of the markets is not <b>irrational</b> at all, but more designed to seem this way.

Looking at this graph and seeing <b>Coindesk</b> on there really paints the only picture I need to see. I mean, the number one website for crypto news in the world is owned by the conglomerate that is <b>"building solutions"</b> for the cryptocurrency world. Of course I have no way of proving it, but can we really say that conflict of interest does not play a role here? I certainly cannot.

The recent listings of Coinbase also make a little more sense, and of course it could all be happenstance, but It certainly does not look to be the case, not even a little bit. Again, It could all be coincidence, it could all be the decision of a board of directors that is truly digging for the best options out there, studying the market for demand and liquidity, but seeing Decentraland on there really made me scratch my head a lot.

For those who are not familiar with the term <b>Ownership Stake</b>, which I'm sure might not be too obvious. It simply means that even though they do not own all the shares of the company, they call the shots by owning a lot of them.

By all means, this is not FUD, not at all. I'm telling you crypto is not going anywhere, and basically proving it to you, showing you how this whole idea that BTC is going to zero is as ridiculous as it gets. However, now that you know, now that you see who is <b>already</b> here, Are you going to let them shake you off? I certainly won't.

I think the reverse is true as those mentioned have the means to make the technology work and increase adoption over the longer term.  They also have the interest to start influencing regulation in a more accommodating way which could help others get involved.

I don't doubt anything you saying this post at all. My question being a common man is what crypto to be in? I have everything at steem and I'm not sure steem has a real future as a player

it's not an easy question to answer and truthfully nobody likes to do so for liability reasons. I can however, share my opinion for what it is, an opinion. I believe anyone who is in this long term should have 50% of their portfolio in BTC and the other 50% on the alt coins they believe in. 

But that is my personal opinion and not financial advice.

there is no such thing as coincidence in high finance imo.  some people say crypto was all just part of the plan to begin with, who knows but it is a tool with two edges.  

Check out HOLO if you're interested in a project that is working on actually building a new economy rather than a fancy easily traceable version of the same old thing.  it stems from the metacurrency project...

This graph adds a lot of clarity to the game being played by the bigger players. The same institutions who last year were dissing on BTC are now quietly and heavily investing in infrastructure to support its use.

Just like last year when governments of countries were banning crypto only to later adopt it. It's a game to shake out the small retail players and position the big investors to get in at lower prices, something they missed a couple years ago while hoping crypto would just go away and doing all they could to kill it.

Once they realized it's not going anywhere, they have been attacking it and spreading FUD while positioning themselves to scoop it up at lower prices. Classic play.

My strategy is to do exactly the opposite as the MSM says to do. Buy when they say it's dead, sell my initial investment when it's going to the moon, that way I'm only playing with the house money at this point.

By the looks of this graph and the players getting involved, crypto is here to stay.

The most interesting add here is seeing Ledger listed under the new squid (move over Golmans)... is ledger.  Coinbase we all knew as with many others as a "controlled",mandated or however the spin... makes me wonder if going back to paper wallets is the only sure bet.

That is crazy how you say that the largest company in crypto owns Coindesk, the largest company for cryptocurrency news, and how they also own CoinBase-the largest cryptocurrency exchange in the world for buying Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ethereum, etc. It is clear to me that Coindesk will be able to focus their articles on tons of positive news about crypto once they've decided that it's time. And I'm sure Jamie Dimon will give another speech about how he believes in Bitcoin again, lol.
