BTC falls has a conspiracy theory that the whales manipulated the price to keep it lower so that many fudders, fomo-ers, short term holders will sell their btc at a lower price for a panic sell then the whales started to accumulate because there is a coming surprise from investment constitution like BAKKT for BTC to bull run next year.
Those are not conspiracy theories. Some might be true but the extent to what they affected the market remains unclear. A lot of things could have triggered and intensified the dump.
Many say that Bitcoin is repeating the past of 2009. After rising, several times and then Bitcoin fell sharply for a long time until everything stabilized. I believe that the market needs to be saturated before everything grows.
Thats why its an ongoing gag that bitcoin died so many times already. Its another one of those cycles and so just increase that number of times in total. If you look at the price charts you can easily verify what has happened in the past. Every time bitcoin drops it comes back up with a pump. People may think of it any way they want - manipulated pump and dump? Or just no coiners spreading FUD and then bitcoiners buying back?
