I think in these circumstances, it's likely that the rich will get richer and the poor will lose their money. I still believe that people can make money by investing in crypto-currencies, but seeing how whales are played with the market makes me sad.
Cryptos can not make you rich overnight. You have to spend many hours, days, weeks or even months to make researches, find the best cryptos to invest in, protect your investments against the scammers and cyber thieves, gain experience, etc.
