How Bitcoin Pumps and Dumps Work

in #bitcoin7 years ago

First of all pumps and dumps are illegal in the market hence you as a Bitcoin user should not expect deferral agencies to protect you. This brief overview looks into how Bitcoin pumps and dumps work and how you can make money of it but remember that is very risky.

Patterns


Bitcoin pump and dumps work in a very simple yet straightforward manner. Pump and Dump schemes comprise of two groups of people. The first group is players who play by artificially increasing the price of the Bitcoin by endorsing or promoting it. This category of individuals spends their time finding cheap coins to purchase then wait for when they are ready for dumping and build a buzz about the coins. The process of finding and buying cheap coins can take as quick as minutes or as long as hours or even days.

The people selling buzz creating momentum for the coins leading to an increase in trading volume as the value of the coins gradually increase. One interesting aspect of the process is that you are both the pump as well as the dumper. When the coins hit the price, you desire you can sell your coins. Some people tend to panic sell and end up dumping their coins for purchase returning the price of the coins to average. The most important step is to distinguish a coin that is being primed for a dump from one that is being primed for a pump. The pump and bump process creates buying patterns whereby as the price goes up and down each time a player buys thereby loading up on the cheap coins.

When players purchase coins, they tend to engage in the forums and chat boxes to share with others the coin of their choice. These players will regularly use multiple accounts and other players usually help them in making it look more real. This leads to the coin being talked up creating a buzz causing people to get interested and purchase the coins- ultimately creating the pumping process. When people start to buy in huge numbers, the price goes up fueling the buzz even further.


When the coin hits the high point player begin to sell off their coins in portions leading to the creation of a dumping phase. Te dumping phase can take second or even hours. In the initial stages of the dumping process, players sell only a small amount of coins very fast without dragging the price down until they run out. When the coin is flat, panic sells arise causing the dumping process since the price is no longer increasing yet the volume is low hence sell orders are no longer getting filled. Typically, panic sellers sell below the standard market value leading to a fall in the value of the coins.

A wise player spots a coin that is in the process of being prepped for the pump and dump then purchases cheap coins to ensure they have a significant volume enabling them to make decent profits easy and straightforward. As long as the Bitcoin is in the early stages of being pumped you have the opportunity to make money even though your risk may be higher.

You can also pay particular people to tip you off on the next coin that is about to be pumped and dumped.

In hindsight, it seems like most of the pumps & dumps happened with altcoins rathe rather than Bitcoin. Often by coin creators themselves.

This is how the market works, find a price you are willing to pay for it against your greed to florish (and earn of it)

kool way to scam people

Well like stated it's illegal. But knowing how a pump and dump works is good, so the next time you see the patterns you know that you should avoid this coin because a pump and dump is in progress ;)

Hate to point this out 2 u ; but, ain't nothing illegal on the internet except kiddipawn...

In a way you are right, those guys alway sseem to get away with it.

There are over 300 nations on planet Earth, then the largest "nation State" is cyberspace. There are more residents in cyberspace per daily hour than in even the largest physical country (China). However CyberSpace has no Army, no police force, no court system nor any jails.

Thus it is literally the Wild West of almost anything goes . . .

So many industries rely upon the internet today it is "impossible" 2 'turn off' and one day (eventually a massive CME (Sun) Coronal Mass Ejection or EMP will turn it all off for months or years...

As we rely more on technology this is gonna really mess up a lot of people :)

In the mean time there are only three types of people. . .

  1. those inventing scams [ Washington & Captains of Industry etc).
  2. Those running scams [ multinationas and corporations )
    and
  3. those getting caught in scams , sheep; workabees and dumb fucaz ! ! !

For example I NEVER EVER engage with sales people; they are in "sales" because they know how to 'sell', I refuse 2 engage them since I am smart enough to know I am out classed...

Thus I keep my gold and move away, it makes no sense to fight battles that you will probably lose especially if it is a pointless fight in the first place...

However there are plenty of sheep out there and I have become a "wolf " :)
