BTC prices have moved up quickly. Is this a pump and dump? See

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pump_and_dump

You can't win if you don't play. But you can't play if you lose all your chips. First I found bitcoin (BTC). Then I found something better, Monero (XMR). See GetMonero.org

What "false and misleading positive statements" can you point to?  If you can't point to some, it doesn't fit the basic definition.

SELL SELL SELL!!!

OMG THE KNIFE!!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooooooo

This is not some pseudoeconomic post-modern Libertarian cult, it's an un-led, crowd-sourced mega startup organized around mutual self-interest where problems, whether of the theoretical or purely practical variety, are treated as temporary and, ultimately, solvable.
Censorship of e-gold was easy. Censorship of Bitcoin will be… entertaining.

Maybe it's Market Manipulation instead

Ha, that's classic (having one thread asking if it is a pump and dump -- presumably to help convince others to sell, and in the other thread be advertising a buy offer ... in which the rate offered is above spot market rates even).

I would think so, guess the question is not if but when the dump and how deep the crash will be.

And even after I point it out, somehow he still hooks them....

Actually it's pump and don't dump!

It seemed like a good idea at the time.

Its not hard to see that bitcoin is growing... but the thing you have to remember is that bitcoin is and always will be 90% speculation,  so even if the rise in value has some legit growth backing it up, the fact remains that 90% of the rise is due to speculation, this is of course unsustainable and will come crashing down at one point. I dont think any one person is doing a pump and dump, the market as a hole is doing this without really realizing it.

Is 90% of the price of gold speculation? If so then I don't see a problem
