The Retail Investor is typically regarded as the shmuck. The Sucker. The Bag Holder. The Patsy. There's a lengthy historical record of price suppressions throughout history. Deliberately pushing the prices up and then deliberately pulling the prices down.
It's kind of interesting from the perspective of Influence. That the direction of movement is heavily leveraged. It's a game of accumulation. It's a game of get more of the Asset while people sell out of necessity, desperation, irritation, anger, frustration and a whole myriad of emotional factors.
If you can Bully someone out of their position - you've expanded your real estate as a result and consequence of your peer's forfeiture. Essentially it's a game of elevator's and the majority of players are thinking we can move together as "one" as like this united word of possibilities....while a coordinated group of individuals who are only concerned with getting more Assets play off the naivety and gullibility of the majority.
It's a simple matter of emotion and feeling.
Control and Manipulation through organized and deliberate Suppression isn't influenced by emotion and feeling. In this regard it's much easier to operate and thus follow through with strategies and plans. Things become a matter of timing. Creating schedules and following through with plans. Adjustments are made along the way as the fine-tuning strengthening of the plan.
It's interesting to think that it's almost surprising and unexpected to think that some would want to play in direct opposition to the majority interests. From a mathematics game theory perspective of competition through accumulation...it makes perfect sense to be in opposition to the majority of participants...especially so if you have a substantial stake/holding.
The flip side of working against the majority...is coordinating and directing the majority of the market to move together leveraging on the minority suppressors. It's a tricky game of sorts because it's much easier to have coordinated communications in a small group than it is on a larger scale.
If you get your ass kicked with money invested....so bad that you are sick to your stomach...It's possible you will say something like, "Fuck this, I'm not playing this game no more...it's just too much...I don't like it." This is the goal of the suppressor. To get you to fuck off and take the loss. Carry the burden of misfortune. Feel inferior and experience yourself as less than.
Everything I've said thus far is somewhat obvious to anyone actively participating in the Markets.
Let's go a bit deeper with this.
Markets are a game of price discovery. Based on Supply and Demand. Strong demand and the price goes up. Demand begins to dry up and Price starts to go down. It goes back and forth. It's become a point of control of Wealth.
See - if you have an Asset/Commodity that's created to be worth a Shit Ton...it makes a lot of people wealthy. That is not a good thing if you are trying to control the world as your own personal empire. You do not want people competing with you and cutting into your share of resources. Thus, you are willing to allocate many resources as part of your "offense" and "defense" as way to accumulate more. Effectively operating a strong war game strategy to effectively increase and strengthen the position of dominance and control on resources.
What I find fascinating is that seldom do we hear much about the narratives of best big picture outlook. Like what would be the ultimate goal? What would be the utopian perspective? What would be best for the majority of participants as retail investors?
These narratives of "greatness" as like some sort of utopian dream, are regarded and justified as sort of distractions, delusions and deviations from individual utmost potential. The thinking is that one thinks of the group mentality here when they are avoiding to actually think and care for themselves as individuals effectively. So it's like wanting the world to be better...because that would include you...but you haven't actually taken the time to create the better you in the world today. But it's wanting everybody to join you today and making a point of change.
It's somewhat of a busy point. But typically it's way easier to move fast and get big results by yourself. That's the nature of the system. Go fast alone. Or as part of a small group that's working "alone". In this regard there can be substantial movement without much growing pains of walking as a large group that needs to get coordinated and just all round substantiated in orientation of what is going on here.
This is where things get interesting.
The odds are indeed against the majority of participants in the Markets.
Cryptocurrency is kind of like gold and silver 2.0. Many young people are interested in digital assets and not so much into gold and silver. There is also the gold and silver bugs who don't want to touch cryptocurrency. The don't get it. Then there's a cross over bunch who recognize and regard the value in both the precious metals and the cryptocurrencies.
Point being here, is that the group of people who are interested in the acquisition of Assets as a form of "sound money"...not debt based money...is expanding and growing.
This is partially a result of ease of information. It's becoming more difficult to suppress and control "Narratives". Access to information is super easy. This is how the heard is still being steered quite effectively. The major media outlets report narratives according to "instruction" which seems to be quite random for the majority. The interesting thing is that the majority of participants is existing as various forms of "passive observing participants"...where the majority participants will parrot and regurgitate opinion based upon the organized news "narratives" which steer the heard of sheep. Effectively being shepherded without even necessarily realizing it. Not realizing it is typical because you are "making sense" of the narratives presented....while seeking feedback to strengthen your cognitive biases/preferences from the other sheep who are also part of your group who are making sense of the controlled suppression.
Is it possible for this game of elevators continue indefinitely? Quite possible. Most likely. It's been happening since forever it seems.
It is however possible for their to be better education in terms of strategy and adoption for the majority of participants within the markets.
The narrative is that the majority of market participants ultimately have the power to influence the value/price of a commodity/asset.
This is an interesting and most startling realization:
The majority of market participants ultimately have the power to influence the value/price of a commodity/asset. This very awareness has been massively....most effectively suppressed. This suppression has mostly reworked by relying on human beings to discount one another's ability and intelligence.
There's this ever so subtle tendency to place yourself as "better" than the majority and so join the group on the flip side of the coin...and kind of justify it to yourself that most people are, "just too stupid...and are hopeless....so why bother....they mostly get what they deserve.....and or a more sheltered approach of self-survival in picking teams from a perspective of 'sides'.
I think there's some irony in the game theory play outs at hand.
It's a matter of voting for what you want. The starting point principle is "political" in nature. What are you supporting with your vote...with your decision?
Are you taking a position and making a vote for wealth expansion? Cool. Everybody is to an extent. It's all about Wealth. So in this regard it makes sense to only sell assets for profit. Never sell assets for a loss. It doesn't really make sense from a starting point perspective of principle. This is the sort of reverse psychology here. It's not wanting to miss out on the profits. The irony being that, maybe you haven't ever really been taking your profits that seriously. It's good to prune the tree as it grows. Investments are the same way. It's kind of like if the majority of participants are just holding on for dear life without taking profits along the way....this is a point of "suppression" ...and those it's susceptible to "control" and "manipulation"...and thus one...or a few who are "savvy" to the ways and working's of "suppression" can take advantage of the majority's greed and can rather ironically, shake out weak hands. When the calm cool and collected nature of your hand is volatile in nature based on the current mood of the moment, an outflow reaction to whether your "up" or "down"...well, your ability for best exercised response abilities are compromised within bad form...bad practice...sloppy technique.
Greed is the card placed against the majority by the minority who are regarded as greedy. It's kind of a tragic comedy. The majority are in denial about their greed. The minority are rather transparent about their efforts to acquire resources and expand operations. So if we place people into 2 camps...we have an Elite that is honest about their intentions...and we have a majority poor who is so existent within various degrees of suppression...it's like this grandiose playwright musical orchestra.
Best Direction Forward.
Education and Quality Reporting.
More and more retail investors become savvy to the game theories at play of the world markets. The quality of education becomes superior amongst the majority of participants. This is like a good virus. It will spread. As more and more people understand how to best participate in the markets....there's a pressure build up that ultimately cannot be suppressed and controlled. In fact there's just too much build up. Too much pressure. The thing wants to explode...expand....move...change.....grow.....not be suppressed anymore. The majority of participants are playing great games here and it is serving their best interests. This becomes quite effective over time for many. This creates word of mouth advertising. This expands the reach of benefactors from making quality plays as a participant in the market movements here. More and more people, ultimately become self-responsible market participants. Realizing and regarding our individual roles in the politics of money. The "market forces" are not this invisible or mysterious thing.
No.
The realization hits home that it's each and every single one of us here that is moving the markets. Who we are within the movement of the markets can initially be defined as questionable at best.
What is your starting point of movement/participation within the markets?
Is your movement influenced and directed according to your feeling and emotion?
Do you have the guts to investigate the depth of your feeling and emotion for real?

Amazing post i like it
Great post, you touch on many points, I will highlight a few from my perspective.
Only Supply and Demand move the Markets, Fear is stronger than Greed, which is why the Markets drop faster than they rise. In order to make money in the Markets, you can follow the Herd and you can't listen to CNBC. You have to discovery self, know what your personality is and find a trading methodology that fits your personality, which is supported by a trading plan and traded consistently because trading is a game of probability.
Lastly, regarding Crypto, we are in the beginning stages of witnessing the largest wealth transfer of our life time....the old money being transfer to the owners of Cryptos.
Appreciate your highlighted perspective. Always a pleasure.
100%
Everything want to suppress the other That's the nature of the game here
