Opinion part 2 Opinion part 1: West has lost the physical pricing mechanism to East.
Opinion part 2: West is driving miner shares into the dirt. Promoting Bitcoin and driving shares into ground. Using margin actxounts and naked shares (both of which they don't own) they move the ledger at CEDE and CO. ( who actually own 83% of all US shares). This keeps the hedge funds and investors from piling in with enthusiasm and drivibg the price into the triple digits. Control the psychology! In reality, ITS ALL THEY CAN DO AT THIS POINT. They've lost the war but may still accomplish their objective. When they pull the internet and banking plug the Elites/nobles/senators will rule over an impoverished and poverty driven EX-middle class in the US.
