Title: one more poll Post by: bracek on January 20, 2012, 10:12:23 AM If you do, why do you even express your opinions and reveal trading sentiment ?
You only make it easier for "the manipulator" to manipulate, also, polls with price (trends) guessing, those are gold mines why not try to say nothing for a full week, just for fun, to see what happens. :) Title: Re: one more poll Post by: chsados on January 20, 2012, 10:18:08 AM i was thinkin the same thing. the "manipulator(s)" could just as well have a subscription to bitcoinbullbear ???
Title: Re: one more poll Post by: Hunterbunter on January 20, 2012, 11:23:59 AM Wow poll is like asking if there's a God, and answers pretty much sum it up the same way...no one has any idea.

If all it takes is $200K or so to make the price swings we have seen in the past few days, it could possibly be best to stand back and let them fight it out. All this tells me that until further notice bitcoin is strictly a lunch money grade amusement comparable to liar's poker played with one dollar bills. Whether all those inclined to hold onto bitcoins can get flat by shorting an equal amount without drawing the attentions of this pod of killer whales, I don't know. One thing is certain, the biggest show in Nakamototown right now is at the Bitcoinica casino, the rest of the bitcoin world is a bunch of hot dog stands surrounding it. Title: Re: one more poll Post by: Vandroiy on January 20, 2012, 11:51:33 AM There is at least one person who sometimes tries to manipulate people/bots using large orders that move around suddenly.
All the other hype about some magical mastermind are nonsense. It's probably either an early adopter or someone who moved more money into the market than others. That said, I can't answer the question, because I don't know what signifies "the manipulator". On every market, someone tries to manipulate at some point, so wouldn't the answer always be "yes"?

All the other hype about some magical mastermind are nonsense. True, this kind of operation is right out of the Penny Stock Scams 101 course, it's not rocket science. In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king ;) Title: Re: one more poll Post by: farfiman on January 20, 2012, 01:46:33 PM If you do, why do you even express your opinions and reveal trading sentiment ?

Title: Re: one more poll Post by: ineededausername on January 20, 2012, 01:50:17 PM there's one big manipulator and a host of smaller ones. The Great Manipulator is so obvious -- he instantly moved the ask side from ~20k to ~80k BTC and the bid side suffered an opposite fate.
Title: Re: one more poll Post by: Serge on January 20, 2012, 02:53:16 PM everyone is manipulator
there are some bigger fish though and probably 1-2 whales Title: Re: one more poll Post by: Serge on January 20, 2012, 03:43:24 PM If you do, why do you even express your opinions and reveal trading sentiment ?
