Market manipulation should be prosecuted

[Kakady13]

Without manipulators, there will not be such up and down movements, because most altcoyins are now growing from such actions.

[BountyX]

All markets in the world are manipulated, from Forex to Stocks to Gold to Crypto. The game is rigged, if you want to play you have to learn inside a rigged market. If you understand the rules of manipulation, you can even end up trading better.

On the other hand market manipulation brings a lot of money and profit to many people. You are just one of those people who didn't successfully got their profit, it's all about risk when it comes to this market, what matters most is how you will approach these manipulations.

Yes it should be but unfortunately that's not possible because you cannot stop and stop those who manipulate the market since they have a very well plan that they are following in order to get what they want. Exchangers can't bann any account just because he bought or sold a coin at a different price than the market because everyone has the right to do anything they want with their coins. The whales that are manipulating the market are very strong, they have lots of money and they can do a lot of things.

[jjdub7]

I agree that market manipulation should be prosecuted, but this is not going to happen without any serious regulations. I would say that this is impossible at this time.

[cryptoamumu]

Market manipulation is and will always be part of crypto. One of the things people like about this space is the anonymity. How would we prosecute those who are anonymous? In the future, if every exchange required KYC for trades, this will hurt the overall market and the anonymous nature.

[anahata]

We are still in wild wild west of crypto world with little regulation. Unless that comes, deal with, whales will always manipulate market, just need to have strong hands.

Here is an idea for regulation work groups if anyone is listening. I am sick and tired of manipulators bringing losses to so many.

This is one of the many reasons why regulators across the globe are cracking down upon crypto. The market is heavily unregulated and many are targeted by scammers. This year has been a busy one, most importantly for those looking for clear guidance on regulatory matters. A lot of new investors were caught up in the crypto frenzy when the price mooned above $10,0000 for the first time, those people then sold after the crash, deflating the prices on the market.

Hardly should be in my eyes. Why should somebody be prosecuted for something that isn't illegal? Insider trading is illegal in stock markets, but there is no regulation here which means it isn't illegal. That is like you getting a speeding ticket on the autobahn because a cop felt like giving you a ticket. It shouldn't happen, and it makes absolutely no sense whatsoever as it goes against what the current laws reflect.

Manipulators everywhere, make peace with it and play according to their rules. You can not do anything against them, of course there are markets where manipulator actions are limited but they have always been, are and will be

If you can't beat them, join them. Lot of traders are doing this method since they can't compete to those manipulators, all they have to do is to become smart and wise enough to outplay them but for those who do not know how to play it like a pro. They will suffer from the wrath of losing their investments, and also for listening to the FUD they really showed that they were weak to hold.

[Fioraver]

Everybody knows that the biggest criminals are in Wall street, but no one prosecute any of them unless is so scandal that is impossible to hide. This here is totally unregulated market. Who will prosecute, who will investigate? Everything is anonymous.

The last couple days have proofed your point, there is definitely a problem with market manipulation and I also believe that this should be tackled.

[Gab20]

I do not know why some people find joy in making others to cry. I just kept on wondering that, how would they derive joy in making others to cry. Manipulators, definitely should be made to pay for their ill actions. Cryptocurrency should be allowed to take a smooth course.

90-99% of all the Bitcoin is owned by 1% of all the users.
Bitcoin is an improvement to the monetary system only in efficiency. The main issue of the previous fiat currencies is more abundant in Bitcoin which is the concentration of the elites wealth making all other users slaves for the system.
Fair distribution and manipulation proof are the most important elements needed.
Also note the volatility as a way they increase their holdings through manipulation.
The entire crypto shere has been infiltrated not only bitcoin.

Marketing manipulation should indeed be prosecuted, but again the manipulators dont do it openly and leave evidence enough to prosecute them. the final decision on what to do with the coin is also not coaxed hence mking it very difficult to prosecute

[Noobaru]

Actually, in "real world", stock markets are regulated if we compare them to crypto markets. You can't pump and dump there, because it is illegal to do so. So, trading stocks is a little bit more secure, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't invest in crypto. To each their own. But I agree with you, such actions should be prosecuted, but then this brings regulation and crypto world becomes less anonymous. Well, you can't have everything, they say.

Yes it should be necessary to think of a third party to at least make sure the project owner completes the job as promised.
