Bitcoin Forum

Everybody is talking about them. Everybody is waitimg for them. But nobody knows them.

Who are they? Would be interested in any kind of information.

You should give us hint in what you're talking about,I don't have the slightest idea what it is,it's just a whales or a group of pump and dump coins I'm sure people are also interested on who are these guys and how they work,if it is not I want to know what it is .

Who is talking about them? Who is waiting for them?  ???

I don't think there is any thing like altcoin market maker. There are whale's club but you can't join them and nobody even know about their existence.

I guess he means the people trading and making successful profit on the markets. Firstly, there are quite a few, but mostly this is not a full time job, since you can only make significant profit if you have large amounts of money to spend. For the full time investors who have plenty of moeny to spend, this forum is a waste of time, since they do not need to talk to people, only invest on altcoin exchanges.

Not in bitcoointalk.Mind linking to external sources if you know any ?

You  mean the pumpers ? Yes,the do exists.They are shillers for a coin including exchanges and trading platforms like YoBIt.If you can money to advertise,your shit coin will have high demands as they promote it.That short cut often attracts idiots who ought to get rich in a day.

most of the time people use the word "market maker" to create an imaginary entity for themselves to justify the unexpected incidents with price. (at least that is my opinion).

for most altcoins the market maker is simply the creator (developers) of that altcoin. because most of these altcoins we see on coinmarketcap from first altcoin to the last have some kind of premine, ICO , etc to make the owner as a whale without any trying. (like the big ETH ICO and Dash premine or Ripple for that matter).

also in smaller altcoins you can become the market maker if you know how the market works and have enough money and influence to have some effect on it.
for example a couple of days ago, during the litecoin pump, a simple Signaling of SegWit by F2Pool could cause price rise and another simple tweet of him caused a drop and the third tweet picked the price up.
