This is whataboutism.

The claim is that BTC surely isn't fraud because the chain is public knowledge.

This is irrelevant, because the vast majority of data is bullshit.

The gold market has been manipulated to and fro, even with regulations.

The idea that BTC isn't manipulated to oblivion JUST BECAUSE there's a public ledger (missing 99.99% of the data) is naive.

Whataboutism is a method of responding to an accusation by making a counter-accusation against an opponent. (What about her e-mails?)
