**Is price an attack?**

With a 20% monthly drop, #Bitcoin looks like anything but “money”.

_My L3 research protocol_

Layer 1, Surface:

Price drops, everyone stares at red candles, headlines scream “crypto = casino”.

Layer 2, Depth:

Volatility isn’t just a market quirk; it’s the perfect vector to discredit. Regulators don’t need to ban what they can delegitimize. A sharp downturn works as free propaganda, reinforcing the idea that fiat is the “stable” refuge, even when real inflation says otherwise.

Layer 3, Hidden Structure:

Is price an attack? You don’t need daily manipulation, just a fragmented market, shallow liquidity and CEX dependence. Instability becomes a political tool, not a financial one. The implicit conclusion they want you to accept is neat: “If it isn’t stable, it isn’t money.” The premise is circular, built so that state money always wins.

#OCCUPY #Wallstreet didn’t work so … revenge will be had. And I for one will not settle for less than bloodshed ( metaphorically)

That's where the problem comes in. It's incredibly easy to manipulate price on a short-term basis. But if you start looking at things like simple moving averages over long terms, like six months and more, it gets incredibly difficult to manipulate the price over that amount of time.

Which is exactly why Aurora General Store sells products at the six-month simple moving average for Monero.

Is there an easy way to get that average?

I use trading view to grab it once every four months, but there might be easier ways than that that I'm not aware of.

If it is not yet money, it will have more volatility than the actual money. Once the actual money is more volatile than it, it has a good chance of becoming money. Once it becomes money, it will be less volatile than most goods and services.

Do you think it will become money?

Do you think regulators will allow it?

Do you think adoption will be such that government impositions will have no effect?

The state will definitely have influence especially when it uses raw violence. But there may be people or areas outside its reach.
