Steel Data Exposes the Harsh Truth! Big Whales in the Crypto World Are Using the Same Tactics to Manipulate Your Perception!



When Trump cheers for steel production "exceeding Japan," the true industrial powerhouse of the world remains silent, with a daily output of 961 million tons compared to the US's 82 million tons—a gap of 11.7 times, smashing all carefully crafted narrative bubbles with a heavy punch.

And this is exactly the game that big players in the crypto world are playing with you every day.

The "Steel Production Scam" in Crypto: The "Surge" You See Might Just Be Digital Magic

Just like the US deliberately ignores China's 961 million tons and only talks about "surpassing Japan," crypto whales are using the same narrative tricks to harvest retail investors:

1. The Deadly Trap of "Percentage Increase"
A certain altcoin surges 200%!—But no one tells you it rebounded from a 90% crash, and its actual price is still 80% below its high. It’s like celebrating steel production "exceeding Japan" but not mentioning that it only accounts for 8.5% of global share, while the real giants dominate 48%.

2. Industry Black Market of "Fake Trading Volume"
An exchange shows a single-day trading volume of over $1 billion for a certain coin—90% of which are fake trades manipulated by whales with their left hand passing to the right. This is akin to bragging about a "strong comeback" in the steel industry while hiding the brutal reality that the US has fewer than 100 steel mills with less than 200,000 workers remaining.

3. The Smokescreen of "Ecological Prosperity"
A new public chain claims to have 500 DApps—490 of which are unused empty shells. Just like claiming a "manufacturing revival," but avoiding mentioning the embarrassing fact that the US steel industry relies heavily on importing high-end specialty steels for national defense.

China’s Absolute Steel Dominance Slaps Crypto Investors Three Times

First Slap: Scale Equals Power
Baowu Group’s annual capacity of 140 million tons surpasses the combined total of the US, Japan, and Germany. In crypto, this means:

· Bitcoin accounts for 45% of the total global cryptocurrency market cap
· Ethereum’s daily Gas consumption exceeds the total of many competing chains in a year
· The top 10 mining pools control 90% of Bitcoin’s hash power—that’s the unchangeable core

Second Slap: Industry Chain Depth Determines Risk Resistance
China’s complete steel industry chain—from iron ore to high-end sheets—allows it to maintain cost advantages in any cycle. Mapping this to crypto:

· Bitcoin has the most complete ecosystem, from mining hardware production, mining pools, exchanges, to derivatives
· Ethereum’s developer count is 30 times that of the second-largest smart contract platform
· The real moat isn’t in whitepapers but in the infrastructure built with time and capital

Third Slap: Real "Production Capacity" Is the Hard Truth
China’s steel capacity remains close to 1 billion tons even after "production restrictions"—a solid display of industrial muscle. In the crypto world, true "production capacity" is:

· The value settlement processed by the Bitcoin network per second surpasses Visa’s global network
· Ethereum processes over 1 million smart contract transactions daily
· The actual circulating supply of USDT on-chain exceeds $100 billion—these are the concrete reinforcements supporting prices

Beware! The Crypto World Is Playing Out an "American Steel Narrative"

The three most common tricks used by whales and project teams:

1. Selective Comparison
Boasting "transaction speed is 1000 times that of Bitcoin"—but never mentioning the decentralization level is only 0.1%

2. Data Smoke and Mirrors
Using "Total Value Locked (TVL)" to create a false prosperity illusion—70% of which is project team’s own funds cycling

3. Fake Milestones
Celebrating "over 100 partners"—but in reality, 95% are shell companies or affiliates

Survival Rule: Find the Genuine "961 Million Tons" in a Market Full of Lies

Smart investors should focus on these irrefutable steel production indicators:

✅ Bitcoin hash rate—continuously hitting new highs, representing capital voting with real money
✅ Ethereum staked ETH—exceeds 25% of total circulating supply, showing long-term confidence
✅ On-chain settlement volume of stablecoins—over $1 trillion per month, reflecting real demand
✅ Reserves of BTC across the four major exchanges—continuously decreasing, indicating flow to long-term holders

Remember: When someone paints a grand blueprint of "surpassing Japan," ask first—"What about China?"

In crypto, when project teams boast about setting a new "first," genuine investors should ask:
- "How many real users do you have?"
- "What’s the actual size of your on-chain assets?"
- "How deep is your ecosystem moat?"

Because in this market, only genuine productivity cannot be long faked—just like behind China’s 961 million tons of steel is a complete industrial system, millions of industrial workers, and decades of technological accumulation.

Next time you see a coin "surge," an ecosystem "explode," or a narrative "subvert," calmly ask yourself:
Is this another round of "America surpassing Japan" self-hype, or a true display of "Chinese Steel" strength?

Data doesn’t lie, but those who narrate data do. In the world of cryptocurrency, your primary task isn’t chasing gains but uncovering lies—because behind every "selective narrative," a scythe for harvest is already raised.

(Follow me to pierce through the crypto fog and see the truth behind those "9.61 billion tons they don’t want you to know.")
