recipes for healthy food: Coincidence or Conspiracy?

When I first introduced what I called The Great Crypto Conspiracy back in 2018, most people had no idea what I was talking about.

They thought I was exaggerating… or seeing shadows where none existed.

But I knew Wall Street's hostility toward bitcoin was just theater… a smokescreen while they quietly positioned themselves to dominate the asset.

The first sign of this conspiracy came in September 2017, when JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon infamously called bitcoin a "fraud" and threatened to fire any of his employees caught trading BTC.

The price of bitcoin dropped nearly 25% – from as high as $4,170 to as low as $3,140 – in the three days following his statements.

In hindsight, these look like ridiculously low prices. But at the time? People were freaking out.

The hate mail pile on my desk was thick with insults. Can you blame folks? After all, the world's most powerful banker had publicly called bitcoin a "fraud."

And yet, we came to find out his London office had swooped in to pick up BTC after his comments had knocked the price down.

In less than two months, BTC hit a new high… making those traders as much as 137%.

My gut instinct told me this wasn't a hit job to kill bitcoin.

Instead, it suggested a set-up… A coordinated price takedown, so Wall Street sharks could accumulate bitcoin on the cheap.

So I dug deeper. And that's when it hit me: The Elites never wanted to destroy bitcoin – they wanted to control it.

After months of uncovering clues and connecting the dots, I finally unmasked the culprits.

Nearly a year later, when bitcoin was around $6,400, I went public in a special briefing called The Great Crypto Conspiracy.

During that briefing, I warned anyone who would listen: Wall Street's plan was to terrify the public out of crypto… drive prices into the dirt… and scoop up the greatest asset ever created at fire-sale prices while everyday folks ran for the exits.

I further argued they would then wrap their fee-loving arms around bitcoin in the form of exchange-traded funds (ETFs). I said once they figured out how to make money from it, they'd be shouting from the rooftops to buy it.

Here's the evidence…

Pulling Back the Curtain

The conspiracy first began to reveal its outline during the 2018 Crypto Winter…

All through that bear market, bitcoin adoption more than tripled, with the number of users increasing from an estimated 10 million to as many as 35 million.

Yet, the market hammered the price lower. From its 2017 high near $20,000, bitcoin cratered to as low as $3,100 in December 2018 – a nearly 85% plunge.

We had skyrocketing adoption, yet the price was collapsing. As each day of 2018 passed, I looked more and more the fool to my readers, subscribers, friends, and acquaintances.

But I kept my focus on the core qualities of crypto that attracted me in the first place: Transparency… No need for a trusted third party… Self-custody… And a fixed supply.

Instead of putting my faith in the price action, I put my faith in my research. And it's a good thing I did. Because the true reason behind the severity of bitcoin's decline would not become known until late 2019.

That's when we found out that Christopher Giancarlo, the chair of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) during the first Trump administration, openly admitted that multiple government agencies approved bitcoin futures specifically to "pop the bitcoin bubble."

Giancarlo knew futures would allow traders to offset spot market positions by going short… driving the price lower.

Unlike JPMorgan, which just wanted to keep adoption low until it figured out how to monetize it, Giancarlo's actions suggested he was looking to take bitcoin out entirely.

In hindsight, the volatility of 2018 now makes perfect sense.

It was largely fueled by traders offsetting their long exposure with aggressive short positions in the newly launched futures market.

Friends, this wasn't "regulation." It was a strategic takedown.

The weak hands capitulated at $3,100. But those who put their faith in my research – like many of my readers and subscribers – kept their core holdings.

They saw as much as a 40x gain over the next eight years – enough to turn every $1,000 into $40,000.

Since then, the conspiracy has replayed itself behind the curtains – quietly and relentlessly – as bitcoin rose to become the world's eighth-most valuable asset.

But now, it's out wide in the open.

Coincidence or Conspiracy?

Today, the Wall Street establishment is running a more sophisticated version of the same playbook – this time via Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI).

MSCI isn't just another market index. It controls the flow of nearly $17 trillion in passive global investment capital. If MSCI blesses your stock, billions pour in. If it removes you, billions vanish.

Here's the thing…

At the same time, bitcoin hit an all-time high of $126,000 last month, reports began surfacing that MSCI was considering a proposal to ban companies that hold more than 50% of their assets in crypto.

Friends, I ask: Is that coincidence or conspiracy?

Understand that the incentives at play are truly massive. You are the prize. The ability to sell bitcoin and crypto-related products to you for decades is worth tens of billions in fees.

And when you realize who the main target of this rule is, everything starts to click.

The biggest casualty would be Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) – the largest publicly traded bitcoin proxy in the world.

Why do they want it out of the indexes? Because Strategy gives investors bitcoin exposure without feeding Wall Street's fee machine.

To the banking cartel, that's unforgivable.

Removing Strategy would trigger billions in forced selling, crush its price, and undermine bitcoin's legitimacy – creating the exact environment the Elites love: Panic.

Since rumors of the rule began circulating, bitcoin has been down as much as 33%. And Strategy's shares have fallen as much as 57%.

Yet while bitcoin's price was dropping, the Elites were making their move to buy your bitcoin – and your altcoins – on the cheap… again.

Wall Street's Confession: Bitcoin Is Here to Stay

Here's the part the financial media missed while bitcoin's price was plummeting this past month.

Wall Street's involvement with this asset class is only getting stronger.

Just this week, we learned that…

Bank of America's wealth management division endorsed a 1-4% bitcoin allocation for its clients. Starting in January, the bank's investment strategists will begin covering four bitcoin ETFs, including BlackRock's IBIT.

Around the same time, Vanguard Group – the second-largest asset manager in the U.S. with nearly $11 trillion under management – has quietly reversed its long-standing anti-crypto stance.

Friends, BofA is the second-largest U.S. bank. It's telling its wealthiest clients to allocate up to 4% of their portfolio to bitcoin – an allocation I've been recommending to everyday investors since 2016.

And Vanguard? For years, it dismissed bitcoin as "too volatile" for serious portfolios.

But suddenly, on Tuesday, Vanguard began allowing ETFs and mutual funds that primarily hold bitcoin – and altcoins like Ether, Ripple, and Solana – to trade on its platform.

The bullish adoption news didn't stop there.

Goldman Sachs agreed to acquire Innovator Capital Management for about $2 billion. Innovator provides bitcoin-structured ETFs.

This is the same Goldman Sachs that – in 2020 – said crypto is "not an asset class" and "not a suitable investment."

And here's the kicker: All of this activity came despite a max drawdown of more than $1 trillion in the crypto market value since early October.

Friends, again, I ask you: Is this coincidence or conspiracy?

Three of the largest Wall Street titans – Bank of America, Vanguard, and Goldman Sachs – just announced plans to go "all in" on bitcoin… after the price has been knocked down by as much as 30%.

If that's not a confession, nothing is.

The Mask Is Off

Bank of America, Vanguard, and Goldman Sachs aren't entering this asset class because they have suddenly become "crypto bros."

Did they help push it down so they could start recommending it 30% below its high?

Perhaps we'll know the truth two years from now… similar to the way we learned about Giancarlo's 2018 shenanigans in 2020.

What we do know is this: They see that BlackRock is now making more money from its bitcoin ETF than any other ETF in their stable.

The others want a piece of that action.

If bitcoin were dying… If crypto were dead… If this entire asset class were circling the drain…

Then why are three of the biggest financial giants in America suddenly sprinting into the market?

Let me say this clearly: The battle over whether bitcoin survives is over. Bitcoin is here to stay.

The new war – the real war – is about something far more important: Who will control the issuance of bitcoin-backed securities?

Wall Street is greedy. They want to own the creation, distribution, and fee-setting schedule for all crypto-related securities. That's why they're using every dirty trick in the book to crush the competition.

The CFTC tried to kill bitcoin and failed. Wall Street scared millions of regular folks out of crypto until they figured out a way to make money from it.

Now Wall Street wants to own it. They want to turn bitcoin – the most democratic financial asset ever invented – into another toll road where they collect all the fees.

But you don't have to let them. You have the knowledge. That means you have the power.

The conspiracy is no longer hidden. The masks have fallen.

Your fight now is to tune out the noise… the fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD)… and hold onto your bitcoin and altcoins.

Short-term price weakness has been a poor predictor of the long-term value of these assets. Wall Street's greedy rush into these assets is all the proof you need that the long-term picture is wildly bullish.

Be rational in your position sizing. Avoid leverage like the plague. Focus on the long-term adoption trend… And just wait for Wall Street's insatiable appetite for fees to act as a massive multidecade tailwind for bitcoin and crypto adoption.
