All you have to do is look at the buy/sell curves. Crypto is 80% market manipulation, 19% traders and maybe 1% genuine use.

This isn't Reddit, do you have something to back any of that up with?

Manipulation can be 100% or 10%, who the hell knows?

Assuming you mean order book (=buy/sell curve), how do you arrive at 80% market manipulation numerically?

What the hell are buy/sell curves?

How the orders are distributed in the order book.

[module0000]

This is incorrect. Orders and their distribution in the order book is called liquidity. Alone, they have very little meaning, and are often manipulated in the securities and commodities market(ie: you see a 5,000 bid, and place your own 5,000 ask - suddenly the bid is gone, and your ask gets rolled by huge buy orders). "Buy/sell curve" has no meaning, the closest term would be "yield curve", such as US interest rates. As the rate climbs and falls, there are inverse effects on financial instruments.
