Fake bid walls should be taken with a grain of salt. This person isn't buying that many bitcoins, like it or not.

The fact of the matter is, there's a quarter-of-a-million dollars on Mt.Gox, waiting to do something.

Then explain why 2/3 of that quarter-of-a-million is gone now?

What does A care if he paid $3 in electricity for those 50k coins? Why not use occam's razor and instead of assuming someone is stupid enough to put 100-200k into this market, that the only people with this kind of depth got it from the early adoption of bitcoin. For crying out loud, 50k coins were put on ask then immediately moved to bid in a span of a second. Misclick?

You can't put in a bid unless you have the cash.  The money is there.  The question is, what is he going to do with it all?

How do you put coins on the bid, exactly?

The point is, it's the same person that has both cash and BTC massive depth. You guys are getting schooled.

Dropped half again.

EDIT: No wait, half now.

Going up again.

Wall creeping to 2.70 now.

You all act as if that kind of money is something new in Bitcoin. Anybody who rode the bubble can have that much now.

Think about it. Selling 10k at 30 gives 300k USD. Not so absurd an idea to buy back now, for example.

Anyways, orders are never really fake. Anyone can take them, so the person can probably live with it if that happens.

Haha, look at him marching his cash army up the chart.  He's getting other people to buy up so he can sell again, methinks.

The walls are being inched up! Take one off the top, put it on the  bottom.

This manipulator is so much better than the downward manipulator - don't sell unlimited, rather buy limited.

Let's hope so... That's what I'm here for.

And now he's in full retreat to 2,50.

Looks temporary. Bear seems to be in trouble - too afraid to sell?
Edit: wow, I was wrong again. Back down to $2.50. I underestimated Mr. Bear's money.

I believe the strategy is something like this.  March a bunch cash out in the hope that other people put bids in front of your giant bids (because they'll feel more confident).  When the bids build up enough, sell into the bids in front of your bids, then drop your giant bid and watch the market panic.  Then buy back at a lower price.  Repeat.

In effect, this "person" is providing liquidity. Rejoice!
Edit: But why would he drop it to $2.5 first? Also, the positioning of his two walls stands to make him lose a lot of money...

This event could cause a lot of win or loss. Only time will tell.

Where is Mt.Gox? These two walls can earn them some good cash!

Buy the entire ask, and then sell into the bid. Since you earn commission, free money!
