In this 7th Episode of CryptoScam I am joined by Andy Hoffman (Marketing Director, Miles Franklin Precious Metals) as we explore the complicated world of Market Manipulation from Gold to Stocks to Bitcoin. While Andy and I agree on most things, there is a major different in how we see market manipulation. His view is that it's Government Sponsored and Long-Term Focused while mine is that it's Private Sector Opportunistic and Short-Term Focused while the Government is doing the best job they can to keep economics stable. Of course the Government is very bad doing this job which is why they should not be involved in centrally planning economic growth and should just stick to Rule of Law, but it is the reality we live and invest in.
