you guys are delusional. The pumpers have left the building and are planning their next vacation and/or car purchase.
Explain to me why a pumper would spend so many BTCs pumping the price to 800k and then ...dumping down to ...68k, in order to crush the price instead of maximizing BTC profit.
It's impossible for the pumper to have made any money on this.
The only profit comes from attacking the coin's price and confidence, leveling it at much lower levels, where re-purchasing the same quantity or higher quantity of coins can take place @ lower cost.
This scheme can only work if people dump at 100-200-300k etc, otherwise the pumper/dumper lost his BTCs to the casual investors.
Pumpers buy so that the price goes up. N00bs and general traders then think something is up and follow the buy trend like dumb blindfolded sheep. The pumpers then do their calculations and wait until the bases are loaded with
other traders' buy orders and then wham dump their holdings when the buy orders are large enough to cover their holdings. This was a classic example and many people lost a lot of money with crave.
Dump down to 68k when you know you are killing it / overselling it and it rebounded to 350k a while thereafter? No. There is nothing classic here.
Besides no one said they were smart! We are talking about some of the biggest clowns into CRYPTO here. It is classic, for them!
So the pumper / dumper were also ...stupid... but they made money from the people, or... they lost money (because they are stupid) - whatever... The narrative doesn't add up.
What I see here is simple: There was nothing bad to say against the coin, no actual FUD to throw at it, so someone pumped & dumped at a cost (for him), to throw the "p&d" accusation at it. "Oh people are losing money", "it's a pump & dump like the rest" etc etc.
Like if some "investors" come along and take ANY coin (including bitcoin, litecoin etc) and pump it & dump it, it's somehow the coin's fault.
Then, once the label sticks that it was "just a P&D", cheap accumulation can take place.
You are kidding right, you have to be.. Here i was deluded to think you were insightful. Shame on me. You can see the signature all over this project, but clearly you seem to have some stake in it too which is blinding you. I'm not sure but i think you are way off.
Accumulation was consistent all through the mining phase. Go take another look, it was also extremely hard to rent cheap miners the whole time.
Point here is PnD is bad for projects be they genuine or not. I'm not going to throw money away just to prove that and crush a projects future when its a genuine one.
