Is the altcoin market being manipulated in 2020?

[@prashant]

It will depend on person to person, i think altcoin is good way to gain more profit as they are easily manipulated by big holder so you can find gap in pump and dump to gain good profit. Previous year was a little disappointed as we have not seen expected rise in altcoin market but this year i think we may see rise in price as btc will rise this year.

Almost all market here in the cryptocurrency space is being manipulated right now. I don't think there will ever be a time that a stable and normal liquidity will come to those altcoins, especially the low volume one. The only thing that you could do is to invest and pray that the one you invested in gets pump by those whales. To be honest, newer coins are being insignificant this year so I think you should pick those in the tops and you will earn something by the time bitcoin pumps.

now, it's easy enough to make people suspicious of price increases. when prices rise, people say that it is price manipulation, and when prices go down, they say that the tokens are junk and scams. Well, I want to convince you to continue to take advantage of the situation, especially if the price of coins or tokens that you have been pumping. however, a natural increase will be marked with good information.

I think the situation would be the same if the crypto ecosystem is not in a new fox, because it is still easy people get hit by scams and they are very crazy about the money that is easy and instant. Erc20 in this year is also still dim where the Smart-contract project has not been as good as the era. But anyway it is definitely going to happen.

Currently, the cryptocurrency market is very easy to manipulate. Information or speech can greatly affect it. However, the crypto market is still small. I think it should be improved in the future. In the future, the cryptocurrency market will become very large. At the time I thought that the price of Bitcoin was very impressive. Looking forward to that time. I don't know at that time. Will I live free.

Indeed, the condition of price movements in the exchange is very easy to manipulate, but you have to know that bitcoin is very difficult to manipulate because the price is very expensive, so I think it will require a lot of money capital to be able to do things like that.

Hello There! 

At one time, I stopped being interested in the altcoin-markets because of the situation there. Famous projects were dropping their bags off to gullible investors to get even more money.

Do you think the situation has changed in the year 2020? 
Is it safe to trade ERC-20 tokens and is it possible to earn something else?

Prices are always manipulated in crypto currencies,lower the marketcap then high chances of being bumped or dumped with less capital so better try to avoid the low market cap coins to short term investments but these are only effective in short term if the coin is good enough to have real investors so you no need to worry because of sudden dump but if you are smart you will trade half of them into bitcoin.

Yes there are indications there, but I don't know absolutely about it, and for me investing with ERC20 is safe if you know and be patient that everything will be restored. Regarding manipulation, I think it is indeed possible because anything here is very difficult to guess.

I think there will be no change at all as most people still interested in tokens/coins that have more liquidity to provide them a good profit in a short period of time. Whales still manipulate the market, but we cant blame them as they are profitting in this kind of strategy. I think we should do is to be more observant and pick the projects that are useful as they will be the leading projects in the years to come.

Nope. Nothing has changed.

Altcoins are slowly going down one by one and those IEO's? Fuck them. They are just pump and dump coins like old coins right  now. Those IEO's are launched in their exchanges for the owners to dump then therefore more profit for them. I expected this already since the start of IEO's. Many are saying that IEO's will be successful. Yes they are successful - successfully listed on a popular exchange but their price? They are slowly decreasing and some of them are being used for pump and dump scheme.

The situation is changing, but it will be better to wait for some more time, before jumping in to the altcoin market. I would say that almost 90% of the shitcoins have become obsolete now. Their promoters became rich through multiple pump-and-dump cycles involving multiple coins and now they have exited the sector. But the remaining 10% are still active. Perhaps we need to wait for another year.

Altcoins keep digging the ground for crude oil, only a few are flexing muscles. The rest are struggling for survival, investors are wishing they had left the fund in bitcoin. Nothing has changed bad projects keep screwing traders.

[kapalmabur]

altcoin has decreased 2 years, it's very unlikely to manipulate it in 2020, if indeed this year is altcoin season and the potential goes up 10x, of course you already have 2 years ago experience,

There is no shortage of bad projects even now. We have stupid investors, who are willing to invest in projects that have multiple red flags. Nowadays I don't blame the ICO promoters for all these scams. The blame should be directed at the investors, who invest in such projects. They may be doing this because of ignorance or greed (or both). But if they continue with this behavior, then they should never complain about their losses.

[Aying]

If you are still investing on altcoins that being manipulated, then it will not changing. if you are aware on what they doing and you see that the strange price of their own coin then that coin don't have future. in past 2 years there are few crypto projects that succeed and the rest are dissapeared and did not continue because of greedy owners so if everyone is still want to be fooled, the alt market will not change and the manipulation will continue.

[desticy]

Nothing changed, people are no more interested in investing into these tokens, so there isn´t any liquidity. Good example is IMVR token: https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/immvrse - yesterday someone bought tokens for few dollars and price pumped by 5000%! 

This does not change anything, just the numbers on the screen. You won’t be able to sell what you bought (if you had it at the time of the pump), due to the absence of an additional number of purchase orders.
If there is no liquidity - the price is easy to manipulate - but there is no one to sell this price later.

Globally, the market is being manipulated by manipulating the price of bitcoin, this is the main thing.

[Thomas-s]

I'm sure that it will be possible to make money on ERC-20 for the next 3-5 years. New projects will always be needed for this market. manipulations will always continue and people will earn on everything. This will stop only when the market will become very large and the capitalization will be huge and only after this manipulation will become less. But ERC-20 tokens will only die when bitcoin will be ready

Don't just talk about the moments of the present, the long past is also a scenario of manipulation but perhaps, people didn't realize until recent years, the price increases without a stop of the market made all doubts, any factor can become an influence on the market, and even if there is no other factor in the market, some issues that can make an impact will suddenly be released. However, perhaps you are correct when the number of times the market has been manipulated has become less, perhaps the connection between those who have been manipulated is no longer consistent.

[Palider]

Nothing has changed until now, And I think the manipulation is even worse now.

Especially those tokens that are not really useful here in the market, and are still listed on the exchange to victimize newcomers and even pump and dump participants in the TG group.

[alexsandria]

Do you think the situation has changed in the year 2020?  

It is almost impossible to oppose manipulation in the current market conditions. We need a little more development in terms of value and regulation. Recently the main problems are related to the increase of fraudsters, the failure of new projects and the altcoin season.

Yes, sometimes manipulation needs to be there especially in times of uncertainty. One example is you, losing the interest over time, so might as well show you some a bit of pump to restore your interest in altcoins. However, problems like frauds ain't going to easily eradicate thus, regulations exist, beside from the fact that the government don't wanna let crypto to take over something else.
