I'll admit - that is a mind blowing concept to me.
I always thought that the price is determined by things like supply and demand, product value(real/perceived) and the market purchasing power.
Extending that theory - the only thing preventing EAC to hit 10 satoshi is what.... 4-5 BTC of BUY offers.
Now we've all seen how sustainable was 300+ price.
If EAC ever hit 800 satoshi, that would last something like 1.0E-10 s, and in that time Cryptsy would either burn down along with the Internet,
or if it was able to process sale offers it would become self-aware and lead us to intergalactic conquest.
Thats how 800+ price is sustainable... IMHO
sorry that I'm always so harsh in my posts.. I have carpal tunnel and typing is really painful for me
basically what I wanted to say is that
low volume markets = not really supply and demand marketsnot that the normal currency, stock or commodity markets are--they are not. they would be, with a real currency that is backed by a commodity, that is stable and whose backing commodity has not been short sold far beyond the availability of said commodity....
(i.e. silver and gold is sold more than physically possible. every bar in a vault somewhere has been sold multiple times. it's all a gigantic fraud. but that's not really the topic here)low volume markets work in SHORT TERM like a poker game.
the one with the lowest amount of cash is going to lose. (wikipedia: gambler's ruin --the statistical explanation for this) statistically speaking, assuming you can not read tells or nobody has any.
that is where all this gambling bullshit comes from. this leads to people believing that gambling = speculation due to their own bias towards the market and their short term observations.
long term reality always wins out. EAC either has potential or not. I believe it has.the question is: when and how quickly will the short term picture connect to the long term one.
when it comes to price movements, the speed this can happen is dependent on sell walls, for the most part.
people like jumping bandwagons. and no walls mean, the wagon starts rolling much sooner and comes to a stop later
