How come almost on-one didn't bat an eye when Elon was pumping BTC by tweeting about it? In fact people were encouraging him to tweet about BTC or doge, and now it's suddenly market manipulation and potentially illegal when he is tweeting shit about it and it's going down?
It is simple nobody would want to acknowledge it when they are also gaining from it but when things turns bad they would look for someone to blame on.
People would only look on it when things are going bad they wouldn't acknowledge it as long as it would be good for them unless they want to be criticize by others for bad mouthing someone who is doing good on their eyes.
