The Bitcoin Series - Part 4: Volatility, Whales, and Manipulation — Can We Really Trust Bitcoin?

The fear of pump & dumps, social media influence, and shadow manipulation.

In this episode we discuss is Bitcoin really a break from the old system — or just Wall Street with a hoodie? In Part 4, we dive deep into Bitcoin’s wild swings, the influence of whales, and the uncomfortable truth about price manipulation in an open market. We ask:

• How does Bitcoin’s volatility affect real-world purchasing power?
• Can Bitcoin ever be safe from price manipulation — or is it built into the system?
• Is Bitcoin really any different from Wall Street — or are we just building a new version of the same system?

From billion-dollar wallet moves to influencer hype cycles, this episode explores what decentralization really means — and why transparency doesn't always equal fairness.
If you’ve ever wondered whether Bitcoin fixes the game or just moves the scoreboard, this one’s for you.

Stay curious. Stay grounded. Let’s build better.
