True, manipulation is happening in every market. And to those that have been leaning with crypto analysts and experts, I find it helpful and not sometimes. When I was new to the market, I used to believe those predictions made by the big names.
Some of them became popular because of the close call that they made. But most of them that predicted the market lately were too inaccurate to tell where the market is going. With regards to your funds, trust no one and play it on your own.
Truth. Finding someone trustable this days is not easy at all.
Especially when it involves money i imagine. Because scams happens everywhere, not only in the Crypto World. Everyone is and should be responsible for their funds, it's as simple as that. At least for now, that is practically the only way to go.
That or exchanges/online wallets that tend to get hacked pretty often. When if banks jump in, it will be interesting to see what the people do.
