The whole Aster situation is basically pumping the price to lure everyone in. The core group gets the meat while outsiders get the soup. The wash trading activities make both insiders and outsiders create an illusion to trick those who haven’t joined yet. Now, suddenly the outsiders are excluded, realizing they’ve been used by the insiders, feeling betrayed and no longer wanting to deceive others. The insiders have been the beneficiaries from start to finish. This is just the rules of the game. This time, I only feel powerless—can’t even muster rage.
