False data and #liquidity traps: How #crypto exchanges and 99% of #cryptocurrencies manipulate price & information to use it to their own advantage.

To answer some questions: many #crypto exchanges and platform operators in the blockchain environment pursue the primary goal of retaining customers on their order books and at their own homepage to maximize liquidity & #profit of the company. The more #investment capital investors deposit on a platform, the higher the transaction fees and trading volumes—directly boosting the operator’s revenue. From a data-governance perspective, this incentive structure breeds a reluctance to update price and project information for genuinely promising tokens and projects from the crypto sector, the number of which is of course well below one percent. By maintaining selective, outdated data, these operators tether potential investors to their infrastructure and discourage capital flows into external projects.
Popular product names, such as e.g., #social network coin (or domains like www.socialnetworkcointoken.com), are especially vulnerable under this model. Their broad appeal and recognizability encourage third-party providers outside the major platforms to draw investor interest—precisely the outcome the large exchanges and the #Finanzlobby seek to prevent. In pursuit of maximum fee capture, these exchanges prefer that customers invest and lose funds within their ecosystems, so they often withhold or neglect updates on particular projects. And of course, large exchanges and crypto platforms want to question the credibility of good projects by providing outdated data.
In some cases, these large internet corporations and the internet lobby behind the financial market even use various data transfer mechanisms and sometimes criminal procedures, such as redirecting websites, etc., so that "the victim," i.e., you—the customer—remains on the websites of the crypto & financial lobby and loses his money there (We tested everything ourselves with various real accounts to collect accurate data for this report). In some cases, crypto exchanges and the financial lobby also launch their own projects, websites, and businesses under a different name and cover them up with fake #company formations in, e.g., the Seychelles, the Caribbean, the Maldives, or other opaque financial centers in the world.
Observe the prices of #cryptocurrencies and other #financial products when they experience a major positive change. 99% of the time, a lot of news is released within a short period of time via various controlled and manipulated channels, be it TikTok, WhatsApp, WhatsApp groups, mass chats, internet sites, news sites, or purchased news sites. Exactly when news about the #financial product is coming out everywhere, the price rises and is manipulated. Then, for the majority of #cryptocurrencies and financial products, look at the entire price history—months, years.
Market analyses indicate that around 95-98% of all #cryptocurrencies remain in a long-term downward trend, a phenomenon substantiated by technical chart analysis and fundamental valuation methods. These insights inform robust risk-management strategies and portfolio-benchmark frameworks.
Global losses from cybercrime in 2024 exceeded USD 16 billion. This figure covers online #investment scams, tech support frauds, business email compromise cases, and other low-tech schemes operating primarily on the Internet.

In the crypto sector, anti-scam research by Bitget, SlowMist, and Elliptic found a total of USD 4.6 billion in stolen crypto assets during 2024. The main methods included deepfake identity theft, social engineering, and Ponzi schemes.

Separately, #Crypto-News-Flash reported that #crypto hacks and scams alone caused approximately USD 3.01 billion in damage. North Korean hackers were responsible for thefts totaling USD 1.34 billion. And these are only the official figures. The number of unreported victims is much higher.

Note: Regional breakdowns for the Americas, Europe, and Asia are not consistently reported. Most sources provide only global totals or focus on specific fraud types without a regional split.
If you’re considering #investing in #cryptocurrency or similar #financial products, always do your own research. Investigate the project’s operators, verify the company’s registered address, assess how long it has been in business, and understand its organizational structure. Reach out directly—call or email the company—to confirm its legitimacy and get answers to your questions.
Critically evaluate every claim, especially when projects present ambitious future visions. Today you can independently verify 80–90% of the information you encounter through a simple online search without relying on mass-chat groups, newsletters, or potentially manipulated sources. It takes a bit of effort, but doing this homework yourself is the best way to separate realistic opportunities from unrealistic ones.
Finally, this information is readily available online with just a bit of targeted research. Industry data consistently show that the overwhelming majority of financial products exist primarily to serve the interests of their sponsors and that over 99% of traders and investors incur net losses over the long term. Only about 1% of market participants achieve sustained profitability.
Numerous peer-reviewed studies and independent analyses document these outcomes, yet they are often obscured, manipulated, or withheld by vested interests. By searching reputable academic journals, regulatory reports (for example, those published by FINRA or the FCA), and established financial databases, you can corroborate these findings and gain a clearer understanding of the true risk–reward profile of most financial products.
As an additional step, consider exploring detailed case studies on investor behavior and risk management from platforms like SSRN or arXiv and comparing those insights with data from independent investor forums. Such a comprehensive approach will help you distinguish realistic opportunities from those designed primarily to benefit industry insiders.
With the information listed here and a little research and work, you can now decide for yourself which of the above-mentioned groups you would like to belong to from now on. We wish you much success in your trading and trading investment decisions. Look at everything critically 98% of the time before you make any #investments.
