Anyone that doesn't think this is a pump and dump, go look at the daily volume during the bull run
The coin was semi dead then all of a sudden hit inexplicable volume in a day
Was a classic pump that went viral when everything on coinmarketcap.com was very very red (BTC was dropping to $1800). It was the timing. This found CHC at the top of coinmarketcap very green. People see this. Bots see this. People do a youtube search and come up with several pumpers. Think there is mass community support. Don't have time to do due diligence. The crypto market had been beating people down for weeks. Come join the Armaggedon against the evil whales and market manipulators. Join the righteous HOLDERS. Perfect storm.
Actually not so classic. This was an "experiment", to quote the DruggedOnCoins YouTube personality. Translation: this was a new kind of pump, perhaps the first time mass deception was used during the pump, as terms like "community" and "movement" and power-to-the-people type slogans were appropriated and heavily pressed amongst colluding YouTubers, along with a come-join-the-fight mentality, along with a public buy-wall strategy, along with public shaming for retreating from the battlefield. Using and abusing the term "masternode". At all prices the DruggedOnCoin YouTube personality was like, "Guarantee yourself at least one masternode", "Look at the supply", "there's only 100 masternodes left", "control the market", "Korean ginseng", ect. This was a novel way to pump a coin, 1000 units at a time.
All based on zero new development at the time (there was some development three months prior). So, perhaps the most dishonest pump ever. The dishonesty still persists as the market tests new bottoms, trying to find the truth.
It was probably the first time a pump team cloaked itself as "the community". Currently, the actual community is turning on the lights. As each light is turned on, you can see the pumping cockroaches scurry for additional cover.
