The revolution will be monetized!
No reason to believe anything this guy says.

Anyone who publicly shows off about their money and influence can usually be safely ignored.

"I have an NYT journalist"..? Bullshit.

Doesn't look right.

Institutional investors, and anyone with a million on the line, isn't this stupid. Getting a big audience and doing pump n' dump? Good way to end up in prison. People with money and/or influence are better at protecting it than this.

Well, that will only re-inforce the Bitcoin economy...  Now people will be more cautious about this kind of trolling.  Although I have to say that people reacted pretty well, and prices didn't suffer at all!

Everyone hanging out in #bitcoin on IRC today saw some pretty interesting stuff. As mentioned already, a post was made at Reddit claiming $1,000,000 was going to be dumped into BTC within 30 minutes. At the same time in IRC, btc123 was talking about working with a NYT journalist to demonstrate how the Bitcoin market can be manipulated and the real goal was to sell $120,000 worth of coins "into strength" created by the Reddit post.

btc123 went on to say some interesting things like $50M is "rumored" to be awaiting clearance to be spent on BTC (which is supposed to push the price to $850). Also talk of $55 by the end of the day, $100 within the month, $1,000 by the end of the year, $100,000 by 2015 and $1,000,000 by 2025.

Regardless of what happens, it was really entertaining to watch because the price did move. For those that missed it, here's what btc123 was saying.

Thought you might find it interesting.
