š§āāļø BlackRockās Aladdin and the rigged market
If people would realize that something much larger than us is happening across the entire crypto sector, we might start viewing things differently. Even the world as we know it.
Crypto miners and related stocks have faced consistent suppression, with the same shorting patterns recurring all year. Iāve been following this closely, studying the patterns, and theyāre all the same across the entire sector.
Itās not just the crypto sectorā this trend spans the entire market. But letās start with crypto, as itās the most obvious to spot right now. Place the stocks next to each other; watch the stocks yourself and see. This is not a joke.
This isnāt just intuition, my sixth sense or a ātin foil hatā theory; the data speaks for itself. If we follow the big money, itās clear that BlackRock has been increasing its positions in the crypto sector aggressively since 2020, more than doubling its stake in $MARA from 8.6 million to 17.4 million shares in 2023 alone. This is all public informationā itās time to wake up.
I canāt help but question if BlackRockās powerful AIā ALADDIN *(Asset, Liability, and Debt and Derivative Investment Network)*, is behind these moves. Itās hard to believe people are ignoring this. Most of this is public information, yet secrecy still lingers behind the scenes. What exactly is Aladdin?
# How it began:
The birth of Aladdin traces back to the late 1980s, when Larry Fink, reflecting on his days at First Boston, realized the financial industry's dire need for robust risk management. A painful lesson from a huge loss due to bond position mismanagement at First Boston made Fink burst into action and dream big.
By 1988, Fink had gathered a team to launch BlackRock, starting with a focus on fixed-income investments. Yet, the complexities of global finance soon revealed the inadequacies of their basic and primitive tools. Fink and his colleagues saw the necessity for something more sophisticated. So, Aladdin was born, the genie in the bottle; a pioneering system aimed at dissecting, understanding, and navigating the labyrinth of financial risk, empowering investors with the clarity to make wiser choices.
# How it evolved:
Aladdin was initially developed for internal use and launched in 1999 as a tool for BlackRock to better understand and manage risk within its fixed-income portfolios. By combining vast data sets, advanced computing power, and sophisticated algorithms, Aladdin could model the potential impact of various events on portfolios, providing real-time insights into both risks and rewards.
Over time, BlackRock recognized that the power of this platform was too valuable to keep in-house. In the early 2000s, they began offering Aladdin to other financial institutions, transforming it into a comprehensive platform capable of managing a wide range of asset classes, including real estate, while also supporting portfolio management and trading operations.
# How it works:
Aladdin is a cloud-based platform that integrates insane amounts of financial data and uses advanced algorithms to analyze and predict market outcomes. Some of the key features include:
š¹ **Risk Management:**
It simulates market scenarios to assess how economic factors impact portfolios and helps firms manage global risk exposure in real-time.
š¹ **Portfolio Optimization:**
Aladdin helps investors balance risk and reward by analyzing different asset classes.
š¹ **Trading:**
The platform streamlines trade execution, using algorithms to optimize large trades.
š¹ **Data Analysis:**
Aladdin processes diverse data sources to provide actionable insights for investors.
# The growth and reach of Aladdin:
As youāve probably guessed, AI is now a major force behind Aladdinās growth. It now reeks of leather jackets. The platform has expanded rapidly, now managing over $21 trillion in assets and used by more than 200 institutions. Itās arguably the most influential tool ever created in the financial world, serving everyone from government agencies and pension funds to asset managers and insurance companies. And it will only grow from here becoming omnipotent with time.
This means BlackRock can seamlessly access and influence nearly every major asset class. Ever wondered why BlackRock is scooping up so many stocks? Well, Aladdin is the reason. Picture having a powerful AI that guides you on where to take risks, which stocks to buy, how global events will affect prices, and conducts precise technical analysisā all in real time while you sit on a chair farting. Calling it *"riggedā* barely scratches the surface. I know, itās a scary thought.
# Speculation and personal thoughts:
So, where does this leave us? Iām both fascinated and a bit uneasy. The power Aladdin holds is beyond my comprehension, and the secrecy surrounding it only adds to the mystery.
Letās ask ourselves; can this be used to manipulate the market? BlackRock *INSISTS* that Aladdin is solely for risk management, not market manipulation. Do you believe them? "Risk management" can sound a lot like market manipulation if you ask me.
Which brings us to transparency. The complex algorithms behind Aladdin are not publicly availableā theyāre kept hidden from the public eye. This is not like the 2000s where the technology is too powerful **NOT** to share. Weāre entering an era where AI and technology like this are simply **TOO** powerful to be shared. This is the reality we face.
Some even believe that Aladdin doesnāt just analyze market trendsā it has a hand in shaping them, offering BlackRock and its institutional clients insights on when and where to place their money, influencing the market itself.
Whether Aladdin is truly powered by AI is still up for debate. But given the era weāre in, is it really far-fetched to think it is? Its full capabilities remain a mystery, yet weāre entering a time when self-learning machines and AI are evolving at an unprecedented pace. The simple answer is: yes, itās likely powered by AI. This system is continuously learning, just like any other AI, rapidly growing as it processes crazy amounts of dataā from studying past financial crises, market events and global crises to pandemics, wars, crypto, and beyond. Aladdin is becoming an all-knowing financial oracle, able to forecast the future by analyzing the pastā perhaps even absorbing the entirety of stock market history.
It can even be argued that Aladdin is the worldās most powerful artificial intelligence that exists.
While this may sound far-fetched to some, I truly believe it plays a significant role in the crypto sector today. This theory has been central to some of my earlier DDs, such as calling $MSTR at $274 pre-split and identifying $COIN at $61 when they partnered with BlackRockā and even Bitcoinās rise.
BlackRockās push to get the Bitcoin ETF approved, along with their increasing bullish stance on Bitcoin, should be a clear signal. This isnāt just a coincidenceā itās telling us something important. Feed Aladdin data about Bitcoinās scarcity, and it will inevitably forecast its rise. Those who truly understand Bitcoin know exactly what Iām talking about.
I sincerely believe that Aladdin, when fed the right data, could be capable of predicting major trends. This could explain the ongoing manipulation and suppression of prices, giving BlackRock and other major players a chance to accumulate more at lower prices with a simple click.
When you look closely, the shorting patterns appear identical, as if coordinated by something beyond human controlā most likely the work of trading algorithms. A machine. Aladdinā finding the genie in the lamp; make a fucking wish.
Yes, the system feels rigged, but can we leverage this knowledge to our advantage if we choose to look just a little further? I think we can. I did it with $MSTR, $COIN, $MARA and $RIOT.
# To conclude:
To conclude this story the key takeaway is that understanding the power of tools like Aladdin can provide retail traders with a significant edge in the market. We can still capitalize on this knowledge by approaching the market with a deeper understanding of the forces at play.
What Iām really trying to say is this; open your god damn minds and start following the big money. Leverage BlackRockās so-called ārisk managementā *(manipulation)* strategy, and make the most of the public information available to you. Thereās a wealth of insight out thereā use it to your advantage. Rub that fucking lamp like you mean it and try to form a red thread through your due diligence.
When people say, "BlackRock owns everything, duh," ask yourself; why are they buying so much, and why are they increasing their positions during this dip? Itās likely that this dip is part of a deliberate strategy to acquire more. Weāve seen this play out time and again.
Remember, when Aladdin found the lamp, it didnāt just grant three wishesā it rewrote the rules of the game.
