Catnip prices too high? Sell all your catnip and watch global catnip prices plummet. Re-buy at the bottom and own ALL the catnip. Very easy!

I dunno, probably over 5k Everyone knows the best way to acquire more of something is to sell all of that something you currently possess. Catnip prices too high? Sell all your catnip and watch global catnip prices plummet. Re-buy at the bottom and own ALL the catnip. Very easy! These whales are not so clever; WeltMaster has them all figured out!
So 19k market sells on finex within an hour is just oh so organic right? Just small fish doing their daily trades ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif)

There's zero regulation pertaining to any area of the crypto market hence the hail storm of altcoins that are out to fleece people and the endless pumping and dumping for BTC. Forex is a better comparison. There's much less regulation for even the biggest markets compared to stocks.

wow so there is really no point in speculating the price of bitcoins because of these damn whales manipulating the price...
IT SHOULD BE $10,000 per each coin by now if it weren't for their fat coins!!

Well, we don't even know whether there are any truly legit exchanges. The whole thing is mired in fog and bollocks. A fair price might arrive one day when there are markets that can be trusted. Until then the whole thing is the plaything of a small number of people who do what they want.

If there is any real demand for BTC, the price will go up. Whales cannot prevent this. So, the price is falling now from lack of demand - manipulation is only a byproduct of price action.

Does anybody know if there is/was a forum where you could go 24/7 to tell pre-ipo facebook investors that their investment is a fad, because nobody would be using it, because they could meet their friends in real life or sms/call them, and tell those investors every second of the the day that somebody did not update their facebook status so it was probably dying?
Can anyone direct me to the forum where Facebook stockholders discuss how to convince their parents and friends to use Facebook, in order to prevent its share price from falling?

I've no idea. If you're talking about them running an exchange, they would be duty bound to provide real time market prices and the correct orders. No one really knows what goes on in the present exchanges. They could be front running client orders, operating fractional reserves, feeding fake info. I'm sure many are run by upstanding citizens but there's nothing at all to stop them milking everything left, right and centre.
