It’s far less organized than any conspiracy theorist believes and that’s somewhat worse. At a certain level of money rules get lost and things get normalized. They lose touch with reality. Every gilded age had a scammer that used that to make a fortune by essentially being a high end pimp.

Good point. That’s what I kind of assumed about how event driven the flows are. My guess from what you had posted is that they aren’t actually being driven by macro or real flows but whatever drives the crypto assets.

Through daily harassment, killing, house demolition and eviction, the Israeli government is trying to provoke a Palestinian uprising in the West Bank.
Their aim is to repeat in the West Bank what was done in Gaza, and, if possible, orchestrate mass expulsion to Jordan.
