I am disillusioned by just how much manipulation is going on ... it has not cost me anything, but it gives me less faith in Bitcoin and raises the risk premium


what do you expect from an unregulated market populated with a fairly large number of intelligent members? EDIT - I mean: populated by a decent demographic of early adopters with large number of coins, who, if they decided they wanted to manipulate the market probably have the brains and the skills to do so.

how much manipulation do you think goes on in regulated markets?

Fully aware of the manipulation in 'regulated' markets ... took a while to learn enough to understand that the dynamics of Bitcoin were at least as bad
