There is so much manipulation that takes place by the money crowd. How could it be any other way when those many seek to escape control the means of buy in/buy out. They create the method out of thin air, and cut the deals with their chosen winners. There was no way last fall/winter was not a massive pump by them, then the dump that followed.

If this is to pan out for many of us(which I believe it will), one has to ignore the short term movements. They (the centralized asshats) are investing a lot of time and energy into patents and slinking their way in (buying Poloniex for starters). They are keeping things depressed I believe so that they can get more of a corner on the market, much the way Rothschild did in the Napoleon wars. The tactic has served their dynasty well over the centuries and those who hold knowing this will make out, of this I am certain.
