No, No, No! Conspiracy theories attract attention because they make the world seem more legible, when it's not. In this case, exchanges are not being attacked by shadowy corporations for short contracts.

Attention from price surges increases visitor traffic, and exchanges are understaffed or unprepared for the 10-100x increase in traffic volume. There's no need for complicated stories, evil corporations, or any of that nonsense. Stick with straightforward cause and effect.

No, No, No! Don't pay attention to that thing! Look over there!

Seriously though, it's worth considering that this kind of thing could be possible even if we don't know whether or not it has anything to do with these specific outages.

No, it's not. There are an infinite number of conspiracy theories. There is no value in considering them.

You are coming off as very emotional/desperate in your attempt to convince people to act cool and logical. It's not very persuasive, and if I could downvote you I would.
