I wonder if Whoever is pushing the price down actually thinks people are going to sell at these ridiculous prices. As far as I can tell, Someone is buying and selling their own coins on bittrex. This is the same person who is pushing the price down.
The question is:
is he trying to short because that's a dangerous game to play when you're the only one actually selling. Wink

Actually, that was me selling. I've watched and participated for almost two years and in all that time someone has been purposefully capping the price at a penny. We've all witnessed it, it's not even news anymore. Cheesy

At first I assumed it was just some nutjob crackpot in his 40's who had severe control issues symbolic of mental illness of some sort, schizophrenia maybe with a healthy heaping of paranoia mixed with some sprinkles of OCD. But for the life of me, I can't imagine even a person like that having the staying power like this guy has. It just isn't logical to assume that after all this time, one person would be crazy enough to obsessively control the price of an obscure coin in an obscure corner of the digital universe that has no more than a couple dozen people even paying attention. The odds of that hypothesis being true are so small that there has to be some other variable in the equation that has been carefully omitted from this whole story.

For what rational purpose then would someone try to control the price of this coin since its inception? Who benefits from that? Someone who has completed deluded themselves into thinking this coin would save the world? Or someone who wanted to take advantage of people who would be deluded into thinking this coin will save the world? Or perhaps both?

I still don't know the answers to these questions but I do have a lot of data gathered and a fairly informed opinion given the time horizon I've been part of this little experiment. One conclusion I have made for myself is this: I choose to no longer be a part of this experiment. I sincerely hope it works out for those choosing to continue their involvement. And for the individual(s) working day and night to control the price of this coin, may you be blessed with a reward equal to your efforts that will inspire the courage within you to begin allowing some things in your life to occur naturally. And know that such an obsessive focus on control is not rational, it is quite the opposite, it is an emotional decision rooted in fear that you have cleverly convinced yourself is the right thing to do, for whatever reason.

And with that, I bid you all adieu! Cheesy

I have thoroughly enjoyed my time here in this quiet little corner of the Universe and I have gained much insight into the nature of man and how that is ultimately what defines the nature of value. I have also come to understand my own nature during this time and this particular experiment no longer matches my definition of value, therefore I am moving on.

Again, best wishes to all of you in the fight for freedom. Our goals are still the same, I'm simply choosing a different path to get there. Kiss

Very sad to see you go Epiphany. It was your original interview on the LTB network that got me interested in this project. Hopefully things will improve and we will see you around the forum in the future.

Sorry to see you go Epiphany. I am sure you will be back at some stage.

I respect your opinions and actions, as we all need to act in the way we believe is best for our long term futures. All the best on your path, and thank you for the thoughts and efforts you have contributed. I hope we can collectively honor those efforts by building an increasingly meaningful project. I invite anyone interested in seeing ongoing efforts to PM me for access to Slack. It is a parallel channel to this forum for development/affiliate development and marketing.
