Pump LOL, good one 
Just using the word "pump" indicates cluelessness.
This isn't some stock market game. No individual group or person is "pumping" the price up to lure in suckers.
This is natural growth, a correction after prices being artificially low for almost 3 years.
"Pump and dump" is a fraudulent stock promotion scam, nothing to do with what is currently happening to Bitcoin.
I'll accept calling selling "dumping" because an investor can dump his holdings, but merely buying bitcoins doesn't constitute pumping.
Long time holders are so weak, specially bitcoin holders...
? ? ? The weaklings are those who panic and waste their coins buying fiat.
They succumb to fiat FOMO. "OMG, if I don't buy fiat now, I'll miss out."
Idk man, I think you may being a little too optimistic. I agree that this is the kinda growth that bitcoin deserves, but I think it'd be foolish not to admit that the price is being deliberately pushed up. All the signs have been there for the entire year. It just took this long for FOMO to kick in.
Why do you think prices were artificially low for so long? It was being dumped. That's just how it works. They buy all the way up and they sell all the way down and they make fucking way more money than you and I can even imagine. I know it sounds counterintuitive, but I really don't feel like trying to explain it and I'm not even sure I could do so thoroughly. But game theory says this is what happens.
The misguided purists will cry "but we need less volatility for it to be a legitimate currency!" and to them I say, "fuck off!". This is how I make money, this is how they make money, and most of all... this is how bitcoin makes headlines, turns heads, and gets people on board. Even if the majority of them sell for a loss and get turned off forever. Honeybadger don't care... any publicity is good publicity. Embrace it.
