Some inside info on FUD & fucking with markets by someone who's had blood on their hands (many times) before.
This is going to be decently detailed, so sit down & take your time.
I'll also add some proof as I dig through some old drives (without doxing any clients obvs).
1/n
1st a quick intro. Prior to my move to crypto I was a Sr. exec in the dominant company in one of the most competitive sectors out there. My P&L alone was larger than that of some small nation states. We were also highly regulated with over 125 licences in ~100 jurisdictions.
in 2016 I YOLO'ed into crypto by launching a full service company covering:
• Legal and regulatory - Meh
• Solidity development - Pumping out those shitcoins you all love
• Marketing & PR - Pumping your bags to the moon
• OTC - For the smart money to exit with minimal rekage
In all we serviced ~50 clients, mostly vanilla ERC20s but also some early ERC721 (NFTs as the kids call them). Back then we were using them to build stuff like SKRs for physical gold for private banks in HK, CH, MC etc.
We also did a lot of sentiment management for our OTC desk
So, say you're a fund wanting exposure to $BTC but think you missed the optimal entry. If only there was a dip you could enter in.
Cue us - What flavour of dip would Sir prefer this morning? Flash crash? Liquidity hunt? Ah, excellent choice! The End of the Bull Market it is!
