Title: I have found the way to drive the price to ATH
Post by: wobber on July 08, 2014, 06:43:15 PM
I just need to convince at least 70% of the sellers on major exchanges to put asks at more than $1100.

Very interesting, if all would do the same we'd have this price in a few days. Maybe I should make a nice website www.sell-at-1100.com and make it popular for people that don't read the Speculation subforum.

What do you say guys?

Greed would assure this will never happen.  Knowing that everyone will place at $1100 means I should put mine at $1099.99, because what's a few cents if I sell first?

So now I see this guy at $1099.99 and say "shit, I'll just undercut that guy by a cent".  So then I place my ask at $1099.98.

After everyone's done fucking the other guy for their place in line the last guy says: "Shit, I'll just cut that other guy out by a cent", and places his ask at $624.99.

This exactly!

They tried it in 2011. Don't you remember, wobber? You were here! The free market does what the free market does. There is no changing it

I have asks from $710 - $760 and I don't plan on moving them. :) See you on the bounce down from there.

Ahh to hell with it.  Set your BTC prices @ $1,100 and turn IPO mode on!!  ;)

Why would I sell at $1100?

Way too low. I can't even pay off my mortgage with that.

No, you should convince 70% of the people on exchanges to hodl or destroy their coins. Or convince them to load some 10's of billions on exchanges. There is a scarce resource, there is money in the market, only way to price go up is making the resource even more scarce, or by increasing the demand(=more money in the market), there is no workaround.

But then you will be BTC less and when we wil all set price at 1100, all world will get panic and all will start buying BTC for few days and we would just remove sell orders and set at 11k.

Since you are greedy you will not be able to do that.

You cannot convice anyone to do that, its like the pump and dumps organized by fontass, he was telling one price while at the end everybody was selling earlier

In the free market, cartels don't work. It is really to profitable to set the ask just below the cartel price.

My response is a bit more positive than most:
You might actually convince a few people that they can get a much higher price for their BTC, and that can make some difference.  :)
