2. Thus we might as well as accept that manipulation is really just trading. When speculators play, they must understand the rules. And that is there are no rules preventing manipulation. Thus to be competitive, manipulation is part of the game.
Considering that out of 22 Monero markets , 17 of those Markets are on Poloniex.
I would speculate that Poloniex itself is manipulating Monero to their Trading Advantage.
Especially considering the average transactions per block on Monero is not usually over 4.
I expect to see a much higher transactions count for a coin truly trading $ 174,571 of volume per day.
