Never in that sense. I once (mid 2013) pumped 10 btc into ixc at a big loss running it to 49,000 satoshi just for a test. In late 2013 it ran to around $.50 think but low volume not much dumping. Then ~18 months I think the price ran to $.82 then gradually slowly came back down. Low volume once again except for a 2-3 day period when the lying marketing clown, Jeffery Peterson, I paid and hired said he was testing the market or something like that, so that volume was most likely bot trading.
So IXcoin in 9 years has never been pump and dumped. A pump group tried once back in 2013-2014 and I killed their pump in the first few minutes by dropping 100k ixc blocks on their heads. Haha. I could have waited and made a bunch of free easy BTC but I didn’t like the feeling of IXcoin being some typical crypto prostitute.
That’s why I am where I am.
Just read the full article. I got one thing to say: bahahahahahaaaa.
Thomas had an open invitation to anyone wanting to dump their free mined ixc on him for BTC. He accepted all offers. He never pumped ixc in any way. Never treated anyone with disrespect even when attacked by many and being called a scammer.
Back in 2011-2012, Thomas paid more in btc for servers, website, coders, etc than the value of the entire premine, much of it out of his own pocket. Not to mention the entire premine has been returned.
Call me crazy, but that sure doesn’t sound like a good way to get rich the easy way.

Very much your typical crypto “expert”. He should self educate himself some facts before committing blatant libel.
