I’ve been watching the markets closely, and the timing of these crashes feels way too convenient. Trump’s latest tariff announcements sent stocks and crypto tumbling—Bitcoin dropped hard, Ethereum took an even bigger hit, and Solana corrected from $230 to $190 over the week. Classic panic-selling.  

I’ve seen this movie before. Every time there’s a major political or economic shakeup, the same pattern plays out: markets tank, retail investors panic, and then—like clockwork—big players step in to buy at a discount.  

It happened in March 2020 when COVID fears crashed everything, only for institutions to load up on BTC at rock-bottom prices. It happened again when China’s crypto ban in 2021 sparked mass sell-offs, only for whales to accumulate behind the scenes. And let’s not forget the FTX collapse in 2022—mass panic, a liquidity crunch, and then strategic buyers stepping in to scoop up assets for pennies on the dollar.  

I can’t help but wonder—was this all just another setup? Trump drops a bombshell policy, markets react in fear, and the cycle repeats. With so much capital waiting on the sidelines, these crashes are prime buying opportunities for those in the know.  

I’m not saying it’s a coordinated effort, but history shows that market chaos always benefits the well-connected. Retail traders panic, sell low, and whales scoop it all up.  

I’m keeping an eye on who’s buying right now—because if the past is any indicator, this dip won’t last long. What do you think? Another case of market manipulation, or just business as usual?
