in my opinion experts shut up, work and earn lots of money.
the guys talking like a broken machine are just manipulators.
why would you ask people to pay you for seminars when if you were so good you would earn that cash by making a few smart transactions?
This! +1
It's very clear what's going on - people noticed Leaf, how popular it's got, so want to make money on it.
We have 2 groups:
1) Big miners.
They realise they missed the initial train and as this coin is undervalued, so still a good time to mint load of coins for great profit, so:
They throw a lot Ghash to pump the diff up, once retargeted, they pull out.
Regular Joes are left, and some temporarily move somewhere else, diff goes down.
Big miners jump again, making a lot of coins quick. Diff goes up, they go again
2) Traders.
They made some money through fluctuations, but realise there's more to gain.
So through talks, spreading fear, settings walls, they want to push the price as much down as possible, to buy as much as possible in before times up (further halving, more miners = lower coin supply).
Sell/Buy orders means nothing.
Some sells are fake, some are silly miners.
Buys aren't there. Once the tradesr jump in, they'll just swipe sell orders, no need to keep buy walls.
Newbies miners will panic sell to get some profit, newbies traders will panic sell to cut losses.
Once only players/steady hands are left, game will start.
Here's what is going to happen eventually:
People who mined/bought in @ 2/3/4/5 will make a load of money
People who mined later/manipulated diff / bought @ 15-25 will make a lot of money.
People who buy in after 30/40/50 are still going to make money, less short term, more long term.
Smart traders will make money anyway, either on shorts or long.
This coin is too popular in the sea of average coins, and people aren't stupid - they noticed and they can make big bucks here, it's too obvious.
