$ASTER is a clear case of market manipulation

AASTER is a clear case of market manipulation:

6 wallets (likely one group) control 96% of the supply.
No functional product, only $500k daily volume on BTC pair, and shady practices.

Still, it’s valued at $10B.

Everyone sees it’s junk, but you can’t short it.

That’s why AASTER is bullish—they control the price by owning nearly all the supply.
You can argue supply control is bad, but it works here.

Tight control by shady players = bearish. Tight control by “trusted” players = bullish.
You can call it a scam and say it shouldn’t be worth $10B when it’s barely worth $200M.

You’re right, but you won’t profit.

Accept the game: most altcoins are worthless tokens with no real use. Price isn’t driven by utility—it’s about who’s behind it and their money.

Understand that, and you can start making money.
