Whales are setting up retail for another fleecing, using the 'Ethereum overtaking Bitcoin' narrative as a distraction. I've seen this playbook before - Wall Street talks down Bitcoin, then loads up on it while retail chases the shiny new toy. My notes show a pattern of whales consolidating control, setting up exit traps, and using institutional adoption as a smokescreen for their exit strategy. I'm seeing the same signals now, with Saylor's corporate adoption push and Armstrong's $60k call smelling like classic institutional cheerleading.
