not to mention thousands of smaller ones with several in the 2000-3500 shares range
From what I can see this forum and btc-cc share the same time.
If that's correct then that 12k market buy on btc-ct was at 12:58 which is a full hour and 2mins after my parody news post and a full 30mins after my post saying it was a joke. So that makes it totally unrelated.
Only 4 trades on btc-tc taken inbetween my posts, as I said they totaled 100shares, and in the 30mins after my redaction a total of 200 shares bought over many small market buys.
= no effect.
