š Buyers, Sellers, and Price MovementāWhatās Really Happening?
In every market (including crypto), price changes are not just about people buying or selling. They're about how they do itāat what price they choose to transact. This is where makers and takers come in.
š” 1. Maker vs Taker: Who Are They?
Makers place limit orders ā they say: āI want to buy BTC at $65,000ā or āSell it at $67,000ā and wait.
These orders sit in the order book, waiting for someone to match them.
Takers place market orders ā they say: āGive me BTC now, Iāll pay the current price.ā They remove liquidity from the order book.
š Key insight: Price only moves when takers are aggressive enough to eat through the available orders (liquidity) on the other side.
š¼š½ 2. Why Price Goes Up or Down
Price rises when more market buys come in, pushing through the sell orders (ask side). Buyers are impatientāthey take the best available prices until none are left.
Price drops when more market sells push through the buy orders (bid side). Sellers are aggressive, offloading at any price buyers are offering.
So price is not about āmore buyers than sellersā. Itās about who is more aggressiveābuyers or sellersāand what price they're willing to take.
š 3. So What About Candlestick Patterns Then?
Candlestick patterns reflect the psychological battle between buyers and sellers within a given time frame (like a 5-minute or 1-hour candle):
Wicks show rejection (price tried to go up/down but failed)
Bodies show momentum (price was accepted in that range)
Patterns like Doji, Engulfing, etc., reflect hesitation, continuation, or reversalābut they donāt cause price moves.
They're only meaningful when understood in contextāliquidity zones, volume, and where market participants might be trapped or incentivized.
š¤ But the Market is Transparent, Right?
Yes, crypto markets appear transparent (we can see the order book and price). But: Most of what you see is high-frequency algorithms placing and canceling ordersānoise.

š§ Just read The Economistās cover story: "The Economics of Superintelligence" ā and Iām not okay. Iām activated.
Theyāre saying AGI ā real-deal, self-evolving, think-better-than-you AI ā could arrive by 2027. Not decades away. Not sci-fi. Three. Years.
And hereās what hit me like a truck: This isnāt just a technological shift ā itās an economic detonation waiting to happen. A moment where our entire idea of value, labor, ownership, even sovereignty might get rewritten.
Weāre talking:
> š„ Infinite productivity š¤ Machines that can out-invent us šø A financial system where humans aren't the primary actors anymore 𧬠Maybe even a currency backed by intelligence itself, not gold, not trust
And yet ā in this gold rush toward godlike code, whoās asking the deeper questions?
Crypto was born as a response to broken systems.
But are we ready to defend the human story in a world where superintelligence could unmake the script?
> Will decentralization become the last firewall between AGI and total control?
Will crypto die in the flood, or evolve into something post-human?
And are we building tools ā or temples ā for whatever comes next?
I donāt have answers. But I do have eyes wide open. This isnāt a testnet anymore.
