I think I found the perfect way to schedule a massive pump

Market manipulation is the last thing we need. These stupid pump and dump schemes only hurt what this community is trying to accomplish.

Sure (and what OP suggested would not work at all anyway). BUT to some extent, and especially in a market with such low liquidity as bitcoin, there will naturally be sharks trying to fleece the inexperienced traders/investors.

This problem will solve itself with market cap growth. Until then it is a roller coaster.

Stupid pump-and-dump schemes are not profitable so, while they certainly do hurt the market, there is at least a strong disincentive to executing them.

However, some pump-and-dump schemes are profitable and take advantage of manipulable day-traders.  These certainly help the market and the community and I for one hope we see more of them.

Schemes that take advantage of other people are not helpful. People that enjoy taking advantage of other people will get what they deserve in the end. I hope you lose everything.

Such schemes, when profitable, take advantage of bad day-traders.  It is the bad day-traders that are not only unhelpful but destructive.  Disincentivising this activity will reduce volatility and quicken the process of price discovery.

I suppose it's good karma to wish others misfortune.

I believe so, although I'd extend this to all day-trading myself.

LOL what a retarded plug, besides, buying into someone else's publicly announced pump means YOU are the sucker left holding the bag.
