From my point of view it looks like TPTB saw people getting rich and becoming independent and they couldn't allow so many wealthy individuals in society so they came up with a plan to end this.
If you look at prices you can see how prices hardly change anymore. Heck most of the time Bitcoin prices remain at 0.00! in the hour! Why because they probably set up their bots to pump and dump their coins based on market movement to keep the price the same to prevent people from making money. This isn't so impossible to be true you know.
Just set up some bots and millions worth of money and when ever market provides a hint of an improvement dump it, and when even it going bad pump it. Keeping the prices relatively stable.
I mean why on Earth would anybody in their right mind sell, or setup their bots to sell when positive news is everywhere. It just doesn't make sense. It just an evil behavior that is all.
I don't believe in conspiracy theories in general, and this one, in particular, is not an exception. Since the weakness of the arguments was already shown by previous posters I would rather express my theory on what's going on on the market and why the price is stable despite of the good news.
Yes, after seeing the news more people start buying BTC and other established cryptos, but the amount they are buying, combined, is not that big to start a bullish trend, considering that there are still holders with dozens of thousands BTC who want to exchange it for fiat. But since those holders have a lot of BTC they don't want to be a cause of a bearish trend, so they stop selling immediately when the price starts going down. What's going on can be called redistribution, coins migrate from a few wallets of whales to thousands and thousands wallets of new adopters. Obviously, this process can't last forever, and the price will start rising when the whales will have nothing to sell anymore.
