Market manipulation Puns

Or at least used to thrive off of privacy now that there are things like KYC on almost every centralized exchange.

But still, no centralized exchange will ever be as bad as Facebook’s Meta.

I despise them. They steal our private info to sell to companies for ad targeting.

Watch how the market will start getting littered with ads (even ones unrelated to crypto) once Meta starts monopolizing the crypto space.

I think the only way to avoid this would be through allowing publishers to monetize without ads through users’ processing power. Networks like Gather are already doing that so lets hope this swerves away companies like Facebook and Google.

A bunch of sus accounts are overdramatic about what we can and can not do. We can organize if we chose to!

They have all blocked me from commenting on their threads despite me never talking to them before, which is setting off alarm bells

This subreddit is not market/stock manipulation.

Saying "we", or "us", or calling this "a movement", or "our stock", or praising DFV ("if he's still in, I'm still in"), or any of the other multitititititude of DD writers since DFV, is not stock manipulation.

You're mad about nothing. Telling people to shut up, to stop using these phrases and to watch what they say here for legal reasons is just priming fear and uncertainty (the F & U of FUD) into this open conversation, which discourages participation here. It does no one any favors.

Look up the definition and legal prerequisites of stock manipulation. It includes 1) penalty for non-compliance and 2) conspiring to share confidential (insider) information in a private/non-public setting or forum for material financial gain.

1. In this subreddit, and all of the other GME subreddits, there is zero real-world penalty to coerce compliance, such as a financial fee or being fired from a job. (No, being banned for being a dick in a public forum does not count as a penalty. Banned users can still read the content in the subreddit.)
2. Literally any person in the world with an internet connection can view 100% of the information we're sharing, largely using public sources of government information or mainstream news articles as sources.

So stop it. I think you mean well but you're horribly misinformed about what makes people lawsuit targets.

TL;DR: BUY HOLD DRS (and don't set your money on fire with OTM near-dated calls)

He gave a price target a time frame and a date. This is textbook market manipulation. Be careful apes

Lous call for everyone to buy in at end of market Friday is not just a contradiction to everything he's always said but blatant market manipulation.

Don't underestimate Lous stans, the message needs to be spread the word. NO MARKET MANIPULATION FRUDAY. before these guys fuck this play up for all of us.

First of all, what exactly is market manipulation you might ask:

"Market manipulation is an attempt to artificially influence an asset’s price or the market’s behavior. This typically involves a single individual or group looking to create an illusion in the market, so they can profit from the aftermath. For example, a pump and dump may involve a person pumping a penny stock’s price with fake news and then profiting at the peak. You may recognize that example from Wolf of Wall Street, the true story of notorious stock-market manipulator Jordan Belfort.

Four Common Market Manipulation Strategies

1. Pump and Dump

The crypto market’s most prevalent offender is the pump and dump, which involves a group of people working together to artificially inflate a coin’s value. Pump and dumps usually target low-market cap coins that are available on limited exchanges. The group’s insiders will buy a coin early and dump it once there is enough attention from traders and investors buying in. In recent years, pump and dumps have become more accessible via social media communities like Reddit, Telegram and Discord. You may have recognized them from names like Crypto Pumps. In these situations, the leaders typically profit while most of the participants end up taking a loss

2. Whale Wall Spoofing

Spoofing was a common tactic used during Bitcoin’s early days and still happens on less-regulated exchanges. This strategy involves a whale placing large orders to create fake buy or sell walls in the order books, hence the name spoofing. For example, if they wanted to create a bearish sentiment and drive a coin’s price down, a whale will set large sell orders to trick investors into panic selling. Once the selloff occurs, the whale removes their sell orders and proceeds to buy more at a discounted price.

3. Wash Trading

Wash trading is similar to whale wall spoofing because they both feed misleading information to the market. This strategy involves a person or group rapidly buying and selling the same cryptocurrency to inflate the volume artificially. The asset’s increased activity gains attention from traders and investors, which distorts the price even more. Smaller, unregulated exchanges will typically perform wash trades to inflate trading volume, generate more commission and entice more users.

4. Stop Hunting

Stop hunting involves whales driving a cryptocurrency’s price to a level where market participants have set stop-loss orders. Most peop

Title. Not everything that happens is directly tied to moass. Could this event be a catalyst? Sure. But this price action affected 90% of the financial assets us retail traders typically look at. Crypto tanked at 3am. SP500 was a brick wall at 4:30am.

Please, come out of the bubble every once in a while or this sub will turn into SS.

1. we know HOW the market is being manipulated - Dark pools, trading Algorithms.
2. we know WHO is doing it - Citadel, and every other hedge fund in existence.
3. We know that the SEC is either incompetent (unlikely) or in on it (most likely).
4. We know the government itself (Senate, Congress, Possibly the WH) is run by "investors" who use inside information to make $$$ and who use legislation to their advantage.
5. We know the banks are in on it. They lend them the money, and extend their credit.
6. We know the companies themselves have interest in manipulating their stock (though, at least, companies want them to be manipulated up, not down).
7. None of this will get to mainstream media news, because mainstream media news is 100% bought and owned by Billionaires.

So the question is, what do we do with this knowledge?

If all the regulations, breaks and balances have been removed, then we are completely exposed.

We are at the bottom of a very large food chain.

It's not just "not fair". our lives are dictated by the economy, and the stock market sets all prices from oil to food to the power grid.

And I don't know about you guys, but I'm pissed to hell about this.

There are a few 1000s, called "the ruling class", and they are the ones destroying our planet and our lives for profit...

I know they are all going to hell, but is there a way to bring hell to them here on earth? There has to be a way to fight this, right? did we already lose before we were born, or are we going after Wall Street at some point?

SBF owns both FTX and Alameda Research, which is both the liquidity provider and market maker.

Alameda research uses insider data from FTX to maximize liquidations.

They don't care about the price going up or down, they only care about actively manipulating the price to destroy ftx future/derivative gamblers.

When they run out of fresh meat they go buy some stadium, run ads, and go on cnbc claiming they will donate all their wealth to charities.

Then they close the zoom call and go destroy their users there is a reason why people are warning about the SBF he is doing every kind of illegal activity, but since crypto market regulations are a bit fuzzy, they are actively attacking the market and then claiming it was "market inefficiency".

Guys, I have to come clean. I’ve been manipulating crypto markets since the original bull run in 2017. Every day, I would come home and look for small market cap coins to manipulate. I would then proceed to pour much of my net worth into a coin and it’s price would crash. As soon as I decided to sell a coin, it’s price would skyrocket. Last time I decided to sell off all my portfolio, I triggered the last bull market. I cannot see what this would be called except market manipulation. Thank you to everyone in this subreddit for convincing me to come clean and try and reverse my ways. Sadly, in order to sell my coins and trigger another bull market, I first had to buy back coins causing the crash we see now. Thank you all for the support once again as I go through these trying times.

Not financial advice.

To those who aren't familiar with how this thing goes. Today was one of the more obvious manipulation events in the past few months which happened half an hour ago when we had a coordinated LRC dump which happened in a matter of half a minute. The usual scare dumps looks like this:

1. It's coordinated, happening in chunks in a short period of time.
2. Generally out of the blue.
3. Generally when the market is on the rise.
4. Followed with a lot of negative shill comments.
5. The drop is usually around 5% which makes most exchanges to set of alarms.

All of these conditions were met today.

So how do you protect yourself? Follow these general rules:

1. Check if there were any news. Who knows what kind of a coin you are following, might as well be some bad news that you don't know about.
2. Check who made the shill comments. Usually, it's clear when you look through their post history, that either they were hyper hyping everything, or they have a long history of FUD comments, or both, going from one extreme to the next.
3. Understand, that if there were no news, good or bad, the market is healthy and the drop or rise was unnatural, chunky and quick, that it's likely something unnatural happening with the market whales behind it all.

Understand that if nothing has changed, chances are, nothing should change in a sporadic manner in the charts as well. Either don't do anything since as the market price will eventually go up, those who sold will lose out, or if you were saving up to buy, then it's a great moment to do so and show a middle finger to the whales (of course, take in to account market conditions and so on).

Heads high loopheads.

2 newest mods scrub their account history often, previously were shilling CRTX stock.

New accounts keep popping up that are manually approved, gilded, and stickied to shill other stocks.

Blatant market manipulation attempts by whoever owns the 2 most recent mod accounts.

Edit: Head mod is scrubbing accounts even further. That means they're the culprit who either sold out or are completely behind it. They just removed one of the recent mod accounts, /u/skittle1000 in attempts to hide even further. They're also scrubbing their main account data, and some of the others that I've caught that are clearly them. They also made a post a month ago saying they sought out the one mod to "help out" and are super concerned about growth of the sub, but not quality. They then went silent until today when they came back to look for some sex through bumble.

Edit 2: LOL I'm compiling this into a quick document because fuck this market manipulating piece of shit, and they've often responded to their alt accounts, without changing account, and think they can just delete the comment to hide the data (it's been scraped/crawled). I think the funniest thing is they still have not changed a certain aspect of what they're posting, and they're the only user on that sub who is posting in a certain format.

Edit 3: Another account (this one) killed off by what is most likely bots mass reporting everything. Probably the same bots that are used to manipulate that sub. Anyone shocked? I'm not.

Please read the following link from a seasoned and well established attorney on Forbes. What some of you might think is manipulation doesn't even come close to it. As you will see from the article manipulation has to contain several elements including deception, lies etc. none of which anyone (except maybe shills and FUDers ) on reddit has done as far as I know. The mere coordinating buying of stock by a group of people, according to the article, is NOT manipulation:

After successfully delivering the best Electric Truck in the market, stock is going down. What else nikola have to do?

The fucking Reddit, Twitter and YouTubers who hype up TA and gives dates / false hope (like 'its about to rip any minute)

It's not even the hedgefunds that destroy motivation, it's these fuckers.

I know I am not the only one who feels let down today because of these assholes.

So to all you TA and date motherfuckers - DO ONE and fuck off completely.

Hodl. I'm off. Fuck this.

First off cool, we're happy seeing some green after the last week and a half of red dildo's being shoved in our faces, but wtf is going on?

It seems like every time the market is moving "sideways" an invisible force of bots and whales just does whatever they want. You can literally look at the charts (I use datamish.com) and see some extra weird shit as the price bounces quickly up and down then randomly every single coin will follow suit with a huge cliff down or a massive pump up.

There are some huge warning signs in the global financial markets going on including the Chinese housing bubble and inflation. I'm actually starting to get worried as a firm believer in crypto that this space is literally going to end up being controlled by the whims of billionaires using algorithms they know nothing about to hedge their coming losses and force the rest of us to foot the bill.

Why else would literally every single large cap crypto rise almost the exact same percentage at once? I mean is everything just tied to the price of BTC at this point?

This isn't even mentioning that options contracts for the month expired this last Friday where likely billions of dollars were on the stake if prices stayed up. There's a clear coordinated effort to sway prices a certain way happening and barely anyone is actually talking about it.

With the talk of XRT and short interest again I decided to have a look back on Wayback Machine to see what it was previously: https://web.archive.org/web/*/https://www.etfchannel.com/symbol/xrt/

Have a look at some of the older dates. I've used up my page views and cannot view anymore, but here is one from Aug 12, 2016:

169.06%

Have a look and feel free to share screenshots of other dates.

• Does anyone else have any idea of what is going on here?
• Could XRT have been used for other can kicking reasons as well?
• Or is it just calculating the short interest wrong because it's an ETF?

I have no clue as I'm not well versed in the function of ETFs, but if we can get some eyes on the history of XRT I think it would help us understand what is going on a little better.

Thanks!

Good afternoon fellow Goblins.

I'm curious, and would love to hear discussion here around filling up a guild bank with Materials (in this case, legendaries of all ranks across all professions), and guild transferring to another server, with the only intent being to make a buck. For the record, this has happened on my server, and I was under the impression that it was frowned upon by Blizzard.

Some facts/opinions from research:

• New goblin showed up on 1/2/22 posting all ranks of legendaries in every slot in every profession
• No legendary has the 'made by' name, indicating the crafting character was deleted or the item was brought over via a realm transfer
• The posting toon's guild has no guild achievements, 2 members, both of which share the same number of achievements with the same dates (IE same account)
• Cancel/scan wars begin, almost all day, every day. 5g undercuts are built into his posting operations, but in general no large undercuts.

Based on this, and witnessing behavior since 1/2, it's fairly clear to me it's a transfer from a cheap market, to this more expensive market. Risky because it's SLOW here, but also, and this is what I'm most interested in discussing, I thought this was frowned upon by Blizz.

I do remember seeing posts here and/or on r/wow, with people complaining about being banned for market manipulation...etc, which is the primary reason I thought it was frowned upon. But I made a post in the official forums today and a blizz employee indicated it was just fine.

What do we think here? Is this healthy for the economy and generally the game overall?
