The tape is supposed to be a real bargain
A public market’s boring promise is that is a bargain two people actually made, under rules, with a record. Manipulation is the family of tricks that fake that bargain: trades with yourself, spoofed size you never meant to keep, a pump that dumps on the people who believed the chat.
Next time you open this lesson
We’ll open this slide when you come back. This device remembers it.
Keys move the deck. N next, P previous. Ours. Not PowerPoint.
Swipe the deck. Hold Previous for slide one. A vertical swipe still scrolls the page.

We name those so you can hear them. We will not explain how to run them. If a thread calls a crime “alpha,” that thread is a pitch. The law’s point, in classroom words: other people should not be the exit for your lie.
This classroom’s paper cannot prosecute anyone. It also cannot make a fake real. Looking at is not a crime. Sending a live order from a shop that is allowed to is their business, under their rules. We are not that shop.
Human: the ugly feeling when a chat says “everyone buy NOW” is useful. Keep the feeling. Drop the ticket.
Say it back below. Then the next lesson opens. If you leave the page, we will ask to save your spot.
