Generally speaking ... I think the crypto markets are much, MUCH smaller than people think.
As a result, it's pretty easy to see where the so called "value" is moving around.
Think "pump and dump" groups ... but far more sophisticated and done at an institutional scale (ie, $30 million plus to play with).
They slowly accumulate coins, then ramp up the buy process by purchasing essentially from themselves.
it artificially increases the price of the coins, for a small period of time, until enough retail traders get involved.
Then the smart money exits rather slowly - almost like clockwork.
The money moves from coins to coin ... every day something new moves up, others move down.
So I guess it's about being in the market, and also getting your timing right.
But just realize ... it's a fully rigged game. It is 100% not fair.
And retail traders are the bait.
