FACT.
You can not base any ALTs future value based on the past. The past was manipulated!
FACT: You cannot base any market performance future based on its past. This is true for every single market, fiat, crypto, stocks, commodities, anything. Manipulated or not, patterns are there for the people who believe in strategy and hope, and in crypto, people actually believe they can game the system.
Fact: If you truly believe people could game the system, they already are, and they're not coming into this forum or any online place to tell others. They're doing it and moving the market to their desired direction.
In essence, if you believe manipulation exists, then you also understand that there's nothing you can do about it.
