Title: I believe I manipulate the markets
Post by: Minsc on September 05, 2011, 10:08:52 PM
Every time on Mt Gox I sell my coins, the price starts going up.  Every time on Mt Gox I buy coins, the price starts going down.  Every single time.

Well just do the opposite that you are doing then ;-)

If you feel the need to sell. BUY.
If you feel the need to buy. SELL.

Everything will work out in the end.

Well I only have so much money in there and eventually I sell or buy all of them.

That's the famous George Costanza method.  It really works!

Right after I sold it, some tricky bastard put a 2500 coin bidwall at 7.50 then I thought it was going to raise so I bought.  Then he made it vanish so I sold.  30 minutes later he came back and made it 7.55, then 7.60 for hours.  I was so pissed I figured if it starts raising back up, I'm just withdrawing them all and never coming back.

I stopped watching and left.

Thankfully, he quit buying and it dorpped to 7.15.

according to the volume that 2500 coin bidwall was nailed by what I think was an individual selling and it did not just vanish. At least that
is how I am interpreting things.

there are a few people (maybe one?) that has no issue selling into a holiday market to unload a lot of btc. is this an early adopter?
I would think so. But this is just speculation on my part. Eventually this type of person runs out of btc.

Thankfully I was wrong this time.  It is still tanking and my coins are sold off.

But of course when I sleep it might sneak back up to $10 and then just sit there for a month.  It always jumps somewhere bad for me and sits there for a month.

I get the same kind of thing happening! While I'm sleeping or at work, it does something big! I can't tell you how many times that has happened!

I'm still waiting to buy.  I hope it doesn't suddenly go way up while I sleep.  I've got my iphone next to my bed so I can look and see if it does, but it looks like it will keep falling for a little longer.
