Title: ✨✨✨ Is Bitcoin Spoofing A Massive Problem? ✨✨✨ Post by: ShortCoins on December 15, 2017, 06:29:44 AM Spoofing:
Spoofing is the act of placing an order on a market or exchange which you don’t plan to actually execute. This is done to move the wheels of the market, to influence peer traders. A large bid will tell bots and people it might be time to close short positions, or the inverse. If you have coins for sale, you can manipulate the market into buying them from you at your preferred rate through spoofing, if done correctly. Spoofing is a high frequency trading tactic and in the regular stock market it is wholly illegal under the Dodd-Frank Act.

Is the price of bitcoin being manipulated using tactics like this?

Bitcoin, the category creator of blockchain technology, is the World Wide Ledger yet extremely complicated and no one definition fully encapsulates it. By analogy it is like being able to send a gold coin via email. It is a consensus network that enables a new payment system and a completely digital money.
It is the first decentralized peer-to-peer payment network that is powered by its users with no central authority or middlemen. Bitcoin was the first practical implementation and is currently the most prominent triple entry bookkeeping system in existence. |
