You’ll hear it all over Twitter and YouTube: “The FED scared investors, and they decided to pull their money out, blah blah.”
Let’s be real—that’s utter nonsense.
Investors had no real reason to pull money out of altcoins. Where would they move it to? The real story lies with the whales manipulating 
BTC to trap the ones who sold their BTC too early..
Here’s what really happened: we had a mini altseason, where many BTC holders took profits and shifted into altcoins. This caused a pump in 
TOTAL3 and a drop in BTC.D.
But then, to punish these moves and siphon off profits, the whales decided to crash BTC, conveniently using the FOMC as a cover.
If you sold BTC at, say, 100k and moved into riskier assets like FFLOKI, BBONK, or 
UNI, the whales made you lose 40%-50% of your capital by dumping BTC just 10%. Where did that lost value go? Straight into their pockets.
I know people who thought they were being clever, saying, “This is the peak; I’m moving to alts for x2 or x3 gains.” Now they’ve lost 50% and are kicking themselves, wishing they’d never sold their BTC.
This isn’t random. It’s not a coincidence. It’s a coordinated play to vacuum up the profits from anyone thinking they could outsmart the system.
DYOR.
