People have a special interest in cryptocurrency because it is not controlled by anyone. But we know that the stock market or stock exchange is regulated. That is why in the stock market, if a person wants, he can increase or decrease the price of his shares by manipulating. Sometimes, by making large purchases or large sales, the price is artificially reduced or increased. But no one can increase or decrease the price of Bitcoin if he wants, that is why there is a big difference when compared to the stock market or stock exchange. Due to investor confidence and various factors, the price of Bitcoin can rise or fall significantly, but it is much safer than the stock market.
People are interested in cryptocurrency because it can bring high profits, easy to get rich quickly...and more accessible because it is still a free market, without too many regulations. Meanwhile, the stock market has too many restrictions that make access more difficult.
But we need to distinguish that uncontrolled is different from unregulated, and crypto is a market that is still unregulated, not that it is so decentralized that it cannot be controlled.
I find what you say completely opposite to what is happening and you are deliberately saying the opposite.
The global stock market has a capitalization of more than $100 trillion, of which the United States accounts for nearly half, and the stock market is heavily regulated by law enforcement agencies. Therefore, manipulation is quite difficult and will be severely punished if violations are detected. Meanwhile, the crypto market cap is only 3 trillion and there is not much regulation, so manipulation, pump and dump prices are much easier.
