Interesting post, and you have a new follower, too.

You're exactly right, markets are manipulated, that's a fact. We all know that having a lot of money brings privileges, and being able to make a lot more money is one of them. That's why I tend to be more of a buy-and-hold kind of guy. lol I know I'll be investing some BTC into Steem as soon as the price of BTC rebounds a bit more.
