Bitcoin is not like altcoins. It is not a pump and dump coin and it is biggest difference of Bitcoin versus altcoins.
You can say pump and dump with altcoins but please don't use pump and dump to talk about Bitcoin.
With Bitcoin, it is better and more accurate if you use words like growth, not pump and dump. Bitcoin price grows gradually with time, but the growth is very good and solid. You can say Bitcoin has a long sustainable growth in its value, price and trading volume. Altcoins can have pumps but their prices, trading volumes are not sustainable.
How many cryptocurrencies (altcoins) failed?Don't buy altcoins because they are top altcoinsIf bitcoin is not manipulated, pumped and dumped, what will it be called when the 2022 bear season arrives and bitcoin plummets from $69k to $15k? Not to mention the bear seasons before 2022, bitcoin even dropped 90% before rising again, this is not a game of manipulation, pump and dump, what is this called?
It is true that it is unfair to compare altcoins with bitcoin because bitcoin is still safer than many altcoins, but as a manipulated financial market, I think there is nothing wrong in calling it a pump and dump.
