Cryptocurrencies are an asset class known for their volatility and rapid price changes, and thanks to these features, they sometimes come to the fore with striking success stories. However, some of these success stories are truly extraordinary and will be the subject of discussion in the crypto community for a long time.

What is particularly striking is that each of these operations was performed in 6 short bursts of 30 seconds, and the process was completed in just 3 minutes.
Such rapid and large price increases are generally not compatible with the underlying underlying value and demand growth of an altcoin or crypto asset. Instead, they are frequently associated with allegations of manipulation. Assets with low market volume and low liquidity are often behind such price manipulations. Manipulators can use relatively small amounts of capital to influence such assets, making it easier to control prices.
This significant return on investment earned by the trader has sparked significant interest and discussion within the cryptocurrency community. Such trades highlight both the potential and volatility of the crypto market, where fortunes can be made or lost in an instant.
