Wasn't Bitcoin supposed to provide a way out of All This Hideous Crap?

• Bitcoin.com number 2 sells all his BTC for BCH.
• Coinbase makes ignores its published roadmap and launches BCH.
• The price of BCH rises 300%+. But not everywhere.
• Coinbase freezes the price.
• Roger Ver comes on CNBC just at the right time.

Reminds me of the documentary "Inside Job" with all those folks advocating free market while doing everything they can to tamper with it.
