they are paid in FLDC by using a Bitcoin wallet, because the Counterparty layer is on top of the Bitcoin blockchain
so all Counterparty assets are distributed to bitcoin addresses

2. COunterparty is built on top of bitcoin, so you can actually store many different counterparty assets on a single address. I recommend watching this movie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adROavBst7E&list=PLzAjhhTQ6zqe_vGecdh5kKE3JCqdhDQPY

This coin has been pumped and dumped so many times but it's always fun and for some reason there are always enough noobs to dump on each and every time.

Actually volume is such an important variable that it is the first thing "experienced" scammers would try to manipulate in order to pump a coin. Before altcoins existed there were conventional financial markets that could be manipulated for profit, but altcoins are such a wide open, lucrative field that this kind of thing is the norm now. The "average" trader even sees volume now intuitively.

Here is a common sense way a speculator would analyze volume,
1) Go to Coinmarketcap.com and click on "675 currencies" or whatever in the top left.
2) Click on the volume column to sort by that.
3) Look at the following rows, in order
a) Market cap. Go to the first mineable, unpremined coin with a low market cap, let's say < usd 100,000, which has greater than 40% increase in 24 hours and >100% in 7 days (looking at those columns)
b) if you go down this list now you will see primarily two kinds of coins. 1) Higher quality coins that are trending up, and 2) coins whose volume is fake in some sense, coins that are being pumped in preparation for a dump. Most are in the second category.
c) Keep in mind that there are a lot of automated programs being used. These try to make tiny profits on a vast number of trades, while churning volume.

So it kind of seems that even though volume is hard to decypher, you have to count it as an important variable.

As to Gapcoin specifically, here are some points to think about.

When the next crypto surge occurs, like happened in late 2013, people will be focusing on specific types of coins. There will be the "panic buying" mentality that creates chaos in all coins, but smarter stable long term money will be more disciplined than in 2013.

Most likely the money that enters cryptos will be directed by journalists opinions. Somebody will write an article about cryptos that mentions some coin in a positive way and a bunch of people will try to buy $40,000 worth of that coin even though only $2,000 worth is for sale, and at some point this dynamic will create a publicity storm.

So pretty soon any coin is going to look cheap. But you have to estimate, based on what you know about society etc, which coins are likely to be better off after the next surge relative to other coins. It's my guess, only a guess, that Gapcoin will do quite well. Market cap right now $25,000. So somebody comes along and wants to buy $200,000 worth what happens? We'll see. 

too many bots doing this 24 /7

More accurate to say that normally volume indicates that a move has some technical significance. People who study charts, technical analysts, consider volume very important.

The problem with cryptocurrencies is that
1) You never know what volume is real. Paying 0.x % fees a person may churn the volume as a marketing ploy. Buy and sell ridiculous amounts since some traders sort lists like CoinMarketCap by volume and look for spikes in volume that indicate something. This isn't likely with gapcoin though.
2) Cryptos are still so small that a lot of people are financially capable of moving a market in a major way with little money. Maybe somebody noticed that Gapcoin was created on their birthday and their middle name is "gap" so they took it as a sign from heaven to sell their retirement fund and put it all in Gapcoin. You just don't know what significance the volume has since it could have been one person creating it, for reasons that may be "unnewsworthy".

However, the simple fact that Gapcoin is a higher quality mathcoin, likely to attract the interest of people with longer term focus, suggests that there is some more valid reason for the buying, even if we don't know what it is.

My guess would be another exchange buying up a supply in preparation to list it, but that is only a guess. Second possibility is just somebody who looked at market cap and depth, did some calculations, and decided they could take over the market, including buying new coins, at x price and would make a better profit on Gapcoin than on other coins.

Ultimately it still is an inexpensive coin. The original dev pops up every now and then, and probably will sometime in coming weeks or months. New people moving into crypto will tend to focus more on "productive algorithms" than people in past years did. Gapcoin has gone up a lot but still has better long term chances than many other coins.

Somebody set sell order of 170K mmc at 0.00003600 BTC. Now it's 66K mmc at 0.0003700
And no, you can't set a "fake wall", because you have to hold the coins in your exchange wallet to trade them.

I think so. I noticed the spike about 3-4 hours after it happened. IIRC the volume was pretty massive. It's been a couple hundred BTC the past few days, more than the market cap of PIGGY itself. But since only a fraction of PIGGY is sitting on Poloniex that implies pretty fast trading, with people buying and then selling again within hours or less.

I played a little at that back in 2014, I guess for some people it's fun. But I found it stressful and not worth the modest profits (if any) involved.

Seems pump-and-dump attempt. 
More interesting thing is a 170K mmc wall at 3600...

Probably nothing except someone bought literally ALL THE COINS and now will try to pump it in order to dump it. Well if he manages to break the world record with his effort no problem with me.

BitCNY is not an alt coin or block chain.  BitCNY is a derivative(market pegged asset) of CNY on the Bitshares block chain.  The whole idea of BitCNY or BitUSD, BitEuro, etc... are to maintain those values, thus you will not see "a big increase in price coming."

Read up on the BitShares project to better understand this.  They are trying to produce a decentralized exchange, financial platform, FX markets, Fee Backed Assets, the list goes on and grows daily.  One of the issues with BitShares is the scope of the project, its like hearing about BTC for the first time and will take a lot of research to understand its importance.

This is a dead coin without takeover
