Something went wrong in the coinmarketcap i taught btc was pump but just a fake news but i think everything was okay now and back to normal it was so surprising to see that taught that it was a bull run but just a false alarm so i immediately look into tab trader but it was too far the value in cmc.

It's just a technical problem which can happen to any index. Don't you think if it was really hacked, the guy would have better to do than that? It doesn't worth to hack the website just to change some values, come on. Don't spread this kind of rumor

jes ohm deliberate technical issues to manipulate the market according to ones interests.

you know what we should have for each coin its own index. wher the coin takes only those exchanges where it is traded for the proper expensive price. so the masses think the coin is still valuable  Roll Eyes

It could be a hacker attack but should be a technical problem instead of hacker attack.
I observe only on coinmarketCap but not on any other platform or exchange.

CMC sucks.

its extremly corrupt and the exchanges they orient bitcoin on have a low volume

the time this forum dominated cryptocurrencies worldwide is fading away, glens coinmarketcap isnt dominating the attention and market definiton today anymore as there are countless alternative cryptoindexes.

i bet soon they all will have completely different coins  Grin

i think CMC is among those whales whom change the prices, maybe they did mistake by showing future prices  Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

Now what would they hack in coinmarketcap? Are there any valuable things in there? But maybe they hacked it for them to people see it to sell or to buy something in hype.

CoinMarketCap is a good reference, but total capitalization is not the best way to analyze a token as I see it, the daily volume is a clearer sign of interest in the project. If a daily / weekly / monthly volume ranking was made, it would portray the market better.

They recently implemented a new features (pro API for example). Maybe something went wrong because of this.

almost all altcoins were like listed with 300% - 800% changes.
but it seems to be back to normal now. only vechain is -90%.



There is a possibility that it is only a temporary bug, I think after few hours or days the vechain will back to normal after some troubleshooting I don't see any reason for it to be hacked though but a bug is what I think happen and it is more of a possibility rather than it being hacked.

Does anyone know how long the error lasted? Some had to profit from this. Especially from those who depend on CMC for info

yes, what they desire, but decentralisation of the market indexes is also progressing wont be that easy in the future, especially with this lost of trust that echoed all over social media

Saw that too Vechain suddenly goes up to the 5th rank right above EOS. I guess there's just sudden pump and went down quickly as well. Probably one of the most bazaar thing going on which could be a sign something big is going to happen later on. If you have a bid that is suddenly picked up by a buyer, I'm not surprise.

there is nothing wrong with them, its no doubt they manipulate small markets, but according to last screenshot i posted, it is few exchanges problems, reporting weird prices for coins

CMC can easily check logs of those exchanges to find out what had been wrong

it spiked a very exciting moment in me. I thought the bull run has begun and quickly went to check my wallet. It s very disappointing to see the values come back to normal.

I think this is just a simple alteration , might be a server issue or information mix up. But its nothing to panic about. All infos are rightly updated. Lets not create any panic and fud from this.

Do not worry. CoinMarketCap was not hacked. Perhaps with the latest updates on the site there were some small errors that have now been fixed.

Well coinmarketcap from my sources was not hacked, but I understand that signals of decisions by holders of coins indicated that the prices were going to have a bearish run. This kind of triggered a domino effect on some other cpoin holders and as such the negative figs riding on the market..,,,
I hear it is stabilised now.! Cheers.
