Imagine, for instance, trying to get actual USD (NOT USDT!) for BTC when that fever dream ends.
I'm not saying it's never happened, but implying it's some sort of repeating pattern is simply false.
The others, as the articles point out, were trade volume related (which is also a problem, but much less sinister).
There's no evidence this is some kind of grand conspiracy like you implied. There's plenty to criticise in Crypto, but little evidence for what you actually claimed.
Your comment implied sinister intent: That exchanges go offline at key times in order to scam people.
No evidence was provided of that. The sources you provided point to technical problems that are perfectly understandable during a massive, unpredicted surge in such a technically complex field.
Way beyond giving them the benefit of the doubt at this point.
I take solace in the fact that some of biggest regrets or mistakes that Warren Buffet & Charlie Munger say they have made are those that you don't see - the deals they could have done but didn't and, in retrospect, should have.
