Source: Bitcoin exchanges are stepping up their game to lure high-speed traders like Virtu and Citadel

It's these underhanded moves by big money institutions that keep the prices of bitcoin down. All the while, they are accumulating more and more bitcoin under the table and causing the market FUD to keep prices down. Is this disturbing to anyone else? Banhammer these exchange cheaters.

Basically, the article states that big institutional money companies are involved in trading cryptos, but they are doing this OTC (Over The Counter), meaning off the exchanges (We discussed OTC several weeks ago in more depth). In addition, in order to attract more institutional money into the crypto market, exchanges are beginning to offer block trades. "Block trading allows investors to execute trades off an exchange main order book as to not move the market in a direction against the trader." Basically, block trading has a similar effect as trading OTC because both of these methods PREVENT the price of the cryptos being bought from increasing. Institutional money companies ARE BUYING AND TRADING CRYPTO HEAVILY AND IN LARGE VOLUMES, but those of us who are holding coins and waiting for them to moon may not see this happening because the big money moving around is doing this through a back door (OTC and block trades).

I get it. In order for the crypto world to expand more and for us to see more gains, we need to draw in more investors. And in order to do that, exchanges have to attract them by doing this crap or by calling for more regulations. It's like a catch 22. This will help to also tame the market's volatility, and serve to attract more big money too. If more average people like you and I, got into the market, then we wouldn't need to do this stuff to attract the institutional money. I truly believe this is why there is a push against mainstream adoption. The more people like Warren Buffet, Bill Gates, Charlie Munger, and Jamie Dimon, Google, Youtube, Twitter, Facebook, can discourage/prevent the general public from knowing about crypto world, the more lucrative it is for them, because they can continue taking pieces of the pie without having to worry about the prices rising. If they had their way, I'm sure they will try to prolong this overall Bear Market as long as possible. Also, putting off mainstream adoption will allow the corporations named above and many more, to develop their products to be competitive in this market. They are just buying themselves more time.

One thing I can say for sure is that LOTS OF WEALTHY PEOPLE ARE INTERESTED IN OR HAVE ALREADY JUMPED INTO THE MARKET. So for anyone who publicly states that crypto or bitcoin is a scam or is fake or is stupid or not worth the trouble to invest in (Jamie Dimon, Bill Gates, Charlie Munger, Warren Buffet)...take those words with a grain of salt. The fact that huge buys are happening off the exchanges only indicates that crypto is a highly desired asset.
