Okay Descartes
This isn't trying to prove the existence of God. This is proving the existence of a specific person with deep pockets, who is throwing large orders at the Bitcoin market
with the intent of evoking a specific buy/sell response from other players. Seeing as how quickly and thoroughly Bruce Wagner was exposed, I don't think I'm asking too much.

The existence of a rich person or people working together isn't even up for debate. Someone with HUGE pockets has massive walls up. Those walls are put up and and taken down instantly all the time, generally at key times when action is happening. If you haven't seen those, you shouldn't be commenting. The fact these massive walls appear and disappear instantly, along with how they are used, is plenty of proof that a very rich 'person' exists. You just seem to have a huge problem with them being called "The Manipulator" even though it fits with your provided definition. There was a massive 10000btc sell that crashed everything at 6.90 which may or may not have been the same person. "His" exact goal can only be speculated, but that goal is really the only aspect that remains up for debate, not the "persons" existence. You can see the walls just like everyone else.
The 'twists and turns' caused to the market by "his" behavior aren't 'ulterior motives' or a hidden agenda, they are relatively CLEAR motives, almost blatant for the world to see. They would be ulterior if he made a public statement about his goals, and then did the opposite. Of course it isn't an ulterior motive, WE KNOW HE WANTS TO MAKE MONEY. Kind of clear, just like you said. So unless he honestly thinks that 17000btc wall will sell, he has a reason for keeping the price from getting any higher. He doesn't want it to go over 7, at least not yet, most likely because it will make him money 'playing the market' as you said. These walls have stopped rallies, massive 10000 coin sell offs have caused panic crashes. Perhaps you are suggesting that this "person" is ALSO an idiot (like everyone here according to you), because how can they expect to sell 17000btc in a massive rally stopping wall instead of spreading it out? But wait! Every single time the price gets close to his walls he removes them! So clearly he doesn't actually want to sell that that price. Thus we come back to manipulation and "their" strategy.
Purposefully playing with a small market with tons of money or doing so accidentally through ignorance achieves the same result. Calling it 'the manipulator' 'it' 'he' 'she' 'the conductor', it is all the same. The market is affected. So what is your theory? All you've done is talk shit. Why is the 17000btc sitting there at $7? Why was the 12000btc sitting at $5 until yesterday when the price got close? Why has this been happening for almost two months? Why does "THE CONDUCTOR" make these walls? Please regale us with your 'non idiot' wisdom.
