Not being a trader what does that mean?

likely it means there are algorithms placing phantom orders at a faster rate than usual.

Therefore a small pump then dump?

non-trader huh?

Never sold

In other words, one can absolutely conclude that the particular set up of likely knowledge gaps (probably rather high in here) and short-term prediction ability (not extremely high maybe, but improving) in this market is unfavorable for personal attempts at trading. That said, there are plenty of people who see the same parameters and conclude it is worth it.

During the pump and dump phases, any individual trader can participate with good chance of success and no information required other than price chart.

The problem is that obvious pump and dump phases happen once or twice a year at best. But average individual "trader" is super greedy and wants to daytrade, which usually erases all prior gains during the obvious pump and dumps.

And don't ask me how I know this lol

Spot on, I'd say.

Selloff the last 24 hours seems very exaggerated. Check the volume on finex - huge compared to even to the run up. Shorts ticked up to 16k.

If the price fully retraces then that would be disappointing. If the price holds above 300 and the old peak 300-320 becomes support then that is insanely bullish and this would be a great place to accumulate more (or buy back in).

Still it is clear the market is controlled by a few whales not afraid to dump tens of thousands of coins to move the market so anything is possible.

Tens of thousands of coins, phwoar just imagine!

We have to hope that if/when mainstream adoption is achieved they won't be able to manipulate the market. They're able to now because in relative terms there still isn't enough people involved in bitcoin. Maybe if we have many, many more people using bitcoin whales may lose control?

it is remarkable to see how easily they can get "esteemed" publications like WSJ, Bloomberg and The Economist to dance around like town-cryers, in unison, for the pump 'n dump turning bitcoin into little more than yet another chop stock. Securities fraud is still securities fraud however, no matter how high the corruption runs.

Bitcoin is not some securities.
You'd still be in full control of the ones you own.
21m cap and high network security is the deal, the rest is noise so just let the maniacs do what they always do.

didn't the SEC recently (and CFTC previously) both claim they had some jurisdiction over bitcoin trading in USA? Pretty sure a pump 'n dump is securities fraud.

But, yeah I agree it is a lot of noise in the big scheme ...  but still interesting to note how thoroughly corrupt and rotten Wall Street is and now they are here inside bitcoin with their usual scumbag criminality, just shows what total fraudulent joke BitLicense was.

Heh, to commodities regulators, bitcoin is a commodity, to bank regulators, it's a bank, to stock regulators, it's a stock.

Everyone wants "in". Obviously. Smiley

Self-Custody is a right. Say no to"Non-custodial"
poeple all round the world now pulling out their calculator, first calculating how many bitcoin they will have when they buy back at 295 and then calculating how much money that will bring them next year.


... not quite milliaire at 4000$, but if you sell it all now and buy back at 285, ah ha!

That's 250 coins... needed to be able to acquire and/or maintain by the time the price reaches $4,000.  I had to use my calculator for that.
