Hi ,
I  dont know  if this  belongs  here  but i  am noticing  that bots  are  artificially  raising  prices in mt gox.  I know  this because  i  see  multiple  small  transactions of 0.01000 or 0.001000 BTC  selling . in the mean time after  each of these  transaction the prices increase.

It looks like good news to  those  owning  bitcoin, but  on a longer run artificially maintained  prices tend  to burst the bubble.  and i think the Bots  are  aiming for that.

Once  panic  selling  starts and  bitcoin  bottoms  out again, the bots  again pick up  from where they  left off from.  

I think  we are  getting  scammed.  But i am not  to  sure.. I'm thinking to  buy more  bitcoin but, looking  at todays  charts and numbers it looks kind a  sketchy .  please advise.
