Topic: if buying 100 BTC doesn't get the price to go up then what will (Read 2118 times)

But buying a bitcoin is the good movement. Everybody need to consider of buying some bitcoin. If everybody contribute into bitcoin price then the price will hit the sky. So, buying a 100BTC will give hope to your friends circle. Then it will spread in your office and their office. So, do it for God's sake.

100btc wont make a change.

Beh you are missing nothing. But you normally must have learned something. That transaction with 100 bitcoin is not enough to move the price of bitcoin in that exchange. This is a fact and one fact can give you knowledge about the trading with bitcoin in that exchange. You want to know what must the amount which can move the price. You have two choices. The first is that continue your monitoring and that someone buy more bitcoin (to much bitcoin) and then see if the price move. The second one is that you buy yourself big amounts of bitcoin since the moment you will be able to move in high the price.

Those are the advices of someone which know nothing from trading. If you wont to learn more you must find a trader who for sure will be able to teach you how grow up the price. This is my final advice and the best one.

One hundred bitcoins isn't going to make a big difference, in fact, i wonder if it's going to make any difference. You should buy around 3k bitcoins in order to get what you wish to get. As of for now, nothing shall happen my friend.

100BTC is a verrrry small amount. I don't think you'll see any rise in the prices (if you do it would be minute) with 100BTC. You should go into thousands to get what you want. 2k -5k BTC would do it.

Make everyone in China buy a $100 worth of BTC the same day, that will get the price to spike.

What gets a price up and down in a strong amount is when major events happen such as a big buy of million of dollars, the end of a dark market, the fall out of something like Mt.Gox, events like Greece default and rumors of greece adopting bitcoin... Such shit makes price go crazy, the hype makes things happen and not just a 100 dollars man. There are 21 Million btc coins out there.

100 btc doesn't get the price to go up, but if thousands of bitcoins are dealt, 'EVERYDAY' then yes it will definitely bring the price up.

When Mc Donalds adds bitcoin as a payment option at all their stores, the price of bitcoin will surely rise.  Seriously, though... the mere purchasing of an asset does not make it more valuable.  It has to be highly valuable already.  Bitcoin is valuable but it's arguable as to how much it's really worth today.  It's a highly contentious issue. 

At the time of speaking, 100btc bid will move the price up by $1.

OP will need to buy 1000btc at strategic times everyday for a few days to move the market by $10. In fiat terms, OP needs at least $2 million to have any real effect 

Sure u were buddy, and i'm the tooth fairy. Sign an address with even 100 btc, or stop bullshiting.


When miners are buying mining equipment, they're investing their money in hope for a good return, and same thing can be speculated that they are doing when
mining reward halving is to take place with keeping more and more of mined coins aside, also as an investment, hoping the price will go up at or around the time of halving.

imho miners and exchanges are the ones that can move the price the most, exchanges with keeping the fee in bitcoin, and miners with holding mined coins,
unlike those 100 btc in op question, these numbers are way higher.

cheers

It's not that simple , if It was simple , most of people (early adopters) would be able to manipulate the price but nah only exchange can do that because they have shitload of BTC 
however that amount will make chances in the next years and with the Bitcoin (from mining) decreasing

I assume that we are discussing about major exchanger here and so if you are not aware yet, impacting a small exchange will bring nothing but a harm to yourself .

Lets say that you decided to either buy or sell 100 BTC.

If you decided to buy 100 BTC then you will get nothing but a lost because once you bought the 100 BTC then you are suffering a loss as the buy order of that exchanger will still be the same ( you of course need to sell them back for profit as a trader ) because trader from small exchanger base their decision to buy or sell on the other major exchange

If you decided to sell 100 BTC then you are suffering a lost as well because I do believe that the buy order on that small exchange wont be able to hold of your 100 BTC . You will then sell below market rate and those who put on buy order on the lowest will get the higher return for this foolish act

tl;dr small exchanger price manipulation wont bring any impact to the major exchanger but it is vice versa

If the price of each BTC has been rising atleast 5-10x of the current one by 2030 then this is reasonable amount however if you are planning to make an "impact" or "manipulate" the market then you need to know how to do it properly because having 10k BTC by that time would be useless if you dont know how to do it properly (read above for my post on how it is done)


Thats how manipulation affects the market. Volume is needed otherwise putting a huge wall on small volume market will be useless since it will be easily identified as a bullish


Sadly this dont applied to everyone as people might be soon to jump off the ship once we hit -10 % or so


Not claiming, based that on my past experiences. I was in a group of what you call as "pumper group" or whatever it is


I suspect around 60-80 % of mined coins goes to market , miners need to pay for their electricity as well

what i'm saying is that it won't keep rising indefinitely everytime, there must be a limit that will begin at some point, so the more you reach the total supply and adoption(on another note is that i don't really think we need to wait for the fee era for fully adoption, actually if it happen it will be much early than that) the less bitcoin will rise

Due to it's mining reward schedule there's no reason for believing that bitcoin won't be price hyped. It all depends on what the owners of already mined coins will so,
if they start using massively bitcoin as store of value, market will be mostly moved by changes in the mining rewards, so doubling the price isn't even them impossible.

@op, 100btc is still rather small, since it's only ~ 25 000 USD, but when you see orders like this one happen 10 or 20 times within 24 hours, price will pick it up, but
isolated like this one you are mentioning, it get swallowed by rest of the trades without impacting the base price.


It's all relative, and you can't know for sure how much you need at some given time to move the price. Claiming you need 10k btc is nothing but a wild guess, like any other.

cheers

questionable because in the after 2030 the chance that bitcoin will rise again to un unbelievable level are much slim than the chances that it could rise from now to 2030 to an unimaginable level

basically better to get in as early as you can, you cna call this the second train

100 BTC would make an impact if we were in the year 2030, but we are not. Right now that is a drop in the sea. I wouldn't obsess over monitoring buy/sell volume. There's lots of fake buys and sells everytime. The best you can do is mind about your own business, get your BTC, grow your stack, and keep believing on this amazing technology. Remember to NOT check the price daily to not obsess over it.

I assume you are not a trader yourself because there are some false in your statements and I cant stand without correcting them ( no insult intended whatsoever)

To raise the price some whale manipulate the market by two ways which is to provide a buy wall ( not fake buy wall ) and create a panic buy environment. Providing solely just a fake wall isnt going to raise the price because this is not 2012 anymore and people are clever enough to identify this , most people call this as bullish . However if you create a panic buy then this will manipulate the current market, to create a panic buy merely it is only by making smaller buy wall and some constant buying (this involve buying BTC)

Without this, the market wont be moved. Price needs to be driven up by atleast at the range of $5 - $10 this will create panic buy in another exchanger because it is a great opportunity for arbitrage.
This is where buy walls are needed because once traders come they will start dumping on the walls but if the walls hold off then this will create massive panic buy among another exchanger because another whale will start on buying as well.
This is something like seawaves or tsunami , something starts from small but constantly moving will create something big in the end.

tl;dr of your mistake :

#1 Fake walls is when someone creates a bullish and it wont always be succesfull because we are not in 2012 anymore
#2 Buying BTC is needed, some sacrifice for the better good
#3 You are making your examples sounds like you are the only buyer and seller on the market ( second bolded part of your statement ) while this is not true at all

Read above , you need atleast 10k BTC to be considered as a whale and thats a mini whale

thank you for your valuable information
