Every time someone drops one of those conspiracy theories, I can't help but roll my eyes. You know the type: "Oh yeah, Vanguard and BlackRock obviously had a secret meeting with JPMorgan to tank Bitcoin for a whole month. Classic move! They told all their Wall Street buddies to scoop up cheap coins while retail panic-sold. I totally called it!"

Like... really? These institutional giants coordinated a massive Bitcoin price manipulation scheme just so their cronies could accumulate at lower levels? The mental gymnastics are honestly impressive. Sure, big players influence markets—that's nothing new. But acting like there's some illuminati-level conspiracy where traditional finance titans are pulling puppet strings on BTC price action? That's a stretch.

The reality? Markets are chaotic. Whales exist. Volatility happens. But attributing every dip to some grand orchestrated scheme by legacy finance gives them way more credit than they deserve.
