Crypto manipulations

[Oshosondy]

I saw an article on Cointelegraph just now which I will like newbies to read. I do not think those that have been in trading should read it but you will also gain from it.

This is the article based on opinion: https://cointelegraph.com/news/crypto-market-manipulation-schemes

It is about crypto market manipulations which was said on the article to have began since the first crypto exchange existed many years ago.

I am active on many exchanges and I see coins that are manipulated almost daily. The more the exchange list more coins, the more you will see more manipulations.

Also most low marketcap coins are very easy to manipulate and they are the ones that the manipulators mostly visit. Those slightly high and high marketcap coins are still not completely resistant to manipulations but low marketcap coins are the riskiest.

Happy that you shared this piece but aren't the crypto exchanges who list these coins complicit in the act or are they going to feign ignorance that they don't know what's happening? I believe that even though there are the other actors pushing it, it will not be completely and successfully executed without the go ahead of the exchange. In my estimation, they look the other way just so that everyone who's in on it can get something out of it.

They are, in a many number of ways. From what I can gather, they do not care at all about any serious listing criteria anymore. The most important thing is that you pay the listing fees, which you can do through any number of people selling these services on telegram. 

Of course, there are many fake representatives but the number of real representatives offering listing services for almost any exchange would surprise you.

One newer form of manipulation that I have seen, but involves altcoins, is the buyout of an old established project and then rug it with sudden and horrible changes. This can be done overtly by visible ownership changes, but also hidden one. Essentially, they are buying up the reputation in order to defraud a large amount than they paid for. Just a big money variant of the pump and dump scam of small coins.

I'd like to make my invitation to traders, and I don't mind whether they are newbie traders or senior traders, they all need to read this article if they have never read it.

Wolong - The game of deception in cryptocurrency market.

Even you have already read it once, it is worth to read it again because with more time and experience in the market, by rereading it you can absorb its insight better.

This make people should not rush into buying or selling their coin but research will be the best thing they can do. They should be careful if they see the price suddenly increase and drop deeper. If they can follow the movement and make a profit, they can try that, but once again, research will be their friend.

Crypto market manipulations will be there but we have a choice to follow the manipulators or stay away from them by research. Most people will panic when the price suddenly moves and make them enter the market without any preparation. That will not be good for them because they can lose their money by buying at a high price.

It's not strange that manipulation in the crypto market has been around for a long time it's just that it's not visible to the naked eye those who don't know may think this is normal in terms of decline or increase even though we know there will be where the manipulators take action.

Coins with low capitalization may be easy to move the coin for manipulators, so this scheme I already know from several previous articles.
Yeah it's better to avoid coins with low capitalization sometimes we ourselves have to realize it.

Yes you are right, they can easily get this money from the money made from their telegram activities, but take note that not all exchange encourages all this scam coin, because most of this exchange are equally deceived like everyone,  but their are some project that looks nice from the first day till it will be launched, after them, manipulation will gradually set's in, and the largest holders of the coin will just sell off, which will collapse the value of the coin .
That's why am seriously against holding alt and meme because all of them can be easily manipulated irrespective of the market cap.

Just a big money variant of the pump and dump scam of small coins.

This is my exact sentiment on alt and meme, because they may look very nice for months or years, but along the line, something might happen, either changes as you illustrated or some other things happen, before you will know it, the largest holder of the coin will just sell off all his holdings, and that single step will crash the value of the coin to almost nothing, which will result in a significant losses, so my candide advice here is we should avoid holding alt or meme coin especially because they are where manipulation strives.

There are different types of manipulations. There are ones that some exchanges or the trading platform officials will be the ones that will be manipulating. But there are also ones that not the exchange that will be manipulating. The exchange officials does not need to be the one manipulating as it can be wash trading and not insider trading.

The manipulation that I see most of the time is reviving older coins to dump them even further, benefiting from the eventual death of a coin (usually, without much utility).

The last push before it is being delisted/forgotten entirely..

Yes, this is true but there are many new coins are like this also. In this bull season, it is mostly common to new coins. I saw many new coins that were manipulated like this until they are finally dumped.

Also most low marketcap coins are very easy to manipulate and they are the ones that the manipulators mostly visit. Those slightly high and high marketcap coins are still not completely resistant to manipulations but low marketcap coins are the riskiest.

These are even happening with famous cex like Binance. Sometimes youll be able to see some tokens that arent much moving before suddenly pumped to 80% to more than 100% thats because probably of cabal whales trying to move it. Ive witness howbsome of these guys pumped a coin and Id say manipulations exists even with top market exchanges. Also with good project that has narrative not only memecoins.

Now that you mention Binance, if you look at their listing history for the current year you will see that almost all listed tokens have performed horribly. It is a rate race in an semi regulated environment. The levels of greed are ridiculous, exchanges make a lot of money for doing nothing and still it was not enough so now there is a race to earn listing fees as well.

Yes you are right, they can easily get this money from the money made from their telegram activities, but take note that not all exchange encourages all this scam coin, because most of this exchange are equally deceived like everyone,  but their are some project that looks nice from the first day till it will be launched, after them, manipulation will gradually set's in, and the largest holders of the coin will just sell off, which will collapse the value of the coin .

I think you underestimate how this works. Exchanges are basically paid to pretend to be deceived. If you do not care whether a project is legitimate or not, but just require payment for listing then you can't be deceived. They are facilitating these scams at profit, while users continue to lose money. Exchanges face no consequences so far for their involvement in this process.

Unfortunately we never know and know those who manipulate the Crypto market, indeed that right has been going on for a long time, as you say, if we know them we will definitely become people The richest in the world of crypto, we know the time to buy and the time to sell crypto assets in the market, especially in the spot trading method.

Yes, indeed the Crypto market manipulation is currently only done by a few investors, not the same as in 2017, they are busy some of them in Altcoin and Bitcoin, at this time if seen they only focus on bitcoin, other types of crypto They seem uninterested, which is why trading is now good in Bitcoin, Altcoin or other types of crypto not interesting what else memes.

I am sure the next halving or the next ATH for other types of krypto is the same as today there is no development, unless investors enter, but it is difficult they prefer Bitcoin, so if you want to do trading on Bitcoin it is better.

Just like you have clearly given example above about different types of manipulation those done by exchanges and does that are done by the devs/founders of a project. I will say this particular manipulation here is mostly done by the devs, I have caught one or more coins actually going through this route of pumping fews days after lunching, most especially low market cap coins that did TGE and airdrop some to users they allow the market to bottom a little after listing and then inject liquidity into it and many who even took profit will start to buy on different market both spots and futures and then they simply just dump on them.

One of the trading advices I give to newbies mostly this period of bullish market is never to trade low market cap coins or better still apply good risk management when trading them, take profits and capital out immediately and do not hodl them for long as most of them are pump and dump coins/tokens

Yes, but most times, the exchange officials are aware of the manipulation because they do earn from the price manipulation if they happen to have traded the coin, which is very possible.
Developers are the main manipulators, especially for most projects that are yet to get listed in centralized exchanges. They do pump the coin as they want anytime they wish, and they are very selfish because they are always after their pockets.

Furthermore, some of these exchanges that are listing projects every everyday are also contributing to the manipulation. They don't care about the criteria to list coins anymore; they are all after the money they will get paid, and most of these new low-cap projects are the coins they manipulate the most.

Nothing new!

We do know that the ones who do make out money on this one is the exchange itself and with those manipulators too but considering that exchangers are also one of them. We cant be able to deny that low caps do have that very attractive way on having that opportunity for you to be able to make that huge amount of profits but of course it will be also having that on the same risks too when it comes on losing money too.
We've seen those one pump and then dump forever until it do get delisted and this is where you should be that careful on dealing up with these, but surprisingly there are those investors or buyers who do tend to risks out despite of the risks level on which its understandable because you will be that attracted when it comes into the potential earning.

Manipulations are part of the a market on which its inevitable as we do say because there will be those who are financially capable on which they will be trying out to take advantage of that capability on which for us small time traders then the best approach would be is that we do know on how to go with the flow and be wise and be attentive on when to get in and on when to get out. I could also say that it will be needing up some sort of luck when it comes into this aspect because choosing up on which low cap coins will be definitely be pain in the ass considering on how many coins that you do need to choose on.

Yeah, manipulations, specially on trading volume and price, existed for a long time. I remember I got offered a good amount of money to fake trade (literally buy and sell from myself) for a coin, at cryptsy. I don't even remember the coin, but it is one of the bigger ones now, wish I accepted the offer lol but I said I have ethics and I wouldn't partake and it was morally wrong so I didn't do it.

Now I am looking at it and manipulation is everywhere. Long story short, manipulation of all kinds exists in every part of crypto and we are not going to end up losing any money over it neither. We need to just focus on how to make more money riding their wave. Because while manipulations are bad, it is better if you could ride with them and make money.

Exactly, consider also some projects and exchanges that collect money for random projects before they list their coins. Means, it is a listing fee. I believe that this is very famous in most exchanges. I believe this still exists for some exchanges.
Just take a look in DEX (decentralized exchanges) how projects are being rugged, it's example of manipulations that you can witness live and sometimes happened in just few seconds or minutes.

[Wiwo]

I recently paid close attention to a coin called pump, I picked interest in the coin just because of the name and for that I began to follow closely with the coin market reaction to see if truly it will get pumped just as.the name implies, and to my greatest surprise the coin was indeed manipulated along the line, because it pumped so much at.a particular point in time and there after crashed back down and haven't raised again since then.

So yeah we see coins rise and fall every day amd the more coins get listed, the more we come across those highly manipulated ones although almost 80% of the total coins in the market those in the memecoins category are pumped and dumped schemes.

Listing fee can include a coin or token of that project and you know exchange will try to maximize money from a project coin or token. They are parts of market makers and are ready for market manipulation or at least price manipulation on their own exchange.

With Binance strategic change to easily list many new coins and tokens even pure shit meme tokens. Time of Binance hardly check project quality and dedication on long term future and development of a project. With their new CEO, Richard Teng, binance changed to easily listing coins like Bittrex exchange used to treat altcoin projects years ago.
