I think it's definitely a rogue miner. Check Poloniex now, and the timings of sells that took the price from 0.000265 to 0.0002. Definitely not the actions of a rational seller.
This focus on mining hides the real issue.
Let's do a thought experiment with Bitcoin: Imagine that there was a "rogue miner" selling their BTC for USD the second they mined it. Further, assume they controlled 75% of the daily creation of bitcoin.
That would be 2700 BTC/day "dumped".
In comparison, Bitstamp alone has been doing 4947 BTC/day of BTC-USD volume, and they're only one of the exchanges:
http://bitcoincharts.com/markets/currency/USD.htmlThat "rogue miner" would barely budge the price of BTC.
Boolberry, in contrast, is currently in a very fast inflationary period in terms of the number of coins created per day compared to the already existing supply.
This is about liquidity, excitement, and "buy support", not mining. There's no difference between a miner selling 100 bbr and someone who held it before selling it. Address the underlying reason, not the most immediate source of the coins: You have to convince more people to buy and hold (and better yet - use! :-) more boolberry as time goes on, or the price *will* naturally decrease. Time is evil. The only way it helps is that over time, more people get to know about the coin.
Beg to differ... someone 'dumping' 2700 BTC per day (for weeks) on Bitstamp in the same fashion as being done for BBR on Poloniex would absolutely deflate the price of Bitcoin. Buyers will cotton on and wait for lower prices. Day traders would short BTC. Weak hands would panic.
No amount of liquidity is going to convince people to buy today something they can get cheaper tomorrow. People holding BTC wouldn't be the issue. The market will be governed by new buyers (wishing to buy cheaply) and the rogue miner dumping 2700 BTC without regard for price.
No.
Daily BTC created: 3600
Daily BTC transaction volume: 100,000 (100k - I'm using the american form of the comma)
Daily BTC/USD exchange volume: Over 12k / day
BTC in existence: 13,102,325
(I say "over" because many sources are not public, such as Coinbase's)
Daily BBR created: 12000 (roughly)
Daily BBR transaction volume: 28,000
Poloniex transaction volume today: 56,000
BBR in existence: 974,305
So: today, the number of bitcoin in existence will go up by 0.02%
Today, BBR will add roughly 1.2% to its total
(this same analysis applies roughly to xmr and other coins created around the same time).
If there's demand for *new holdings* of more than 12k BBR / day at the current price, the price will go up. If there's demand for less, the price will go down.
