Yes, yes, we all agree on that. However, it does change the fact that whale or a group of manipulators plays the market by dumping 50-150 BTC every day or two, keeping the market under their control. In other words, if this is all so nice and dandy, why the fuck people do not buy Factom and break out of their hands. The easiest way to make them go away is to let them get burned.

I don't see that as a problem because I believe it could be healthy to build a price-base at the current range, while weak hands sell because of impatience. It avoids dumping on release because weak hands already will be out when M2 and exodus etc. will come.

And: Market-manipulation can't ever be excluded. All markets with some volume are manipulated and without it there would be less volume. The only question that matters is the own strategy and if it will turn out as good or bad. My own strategy is to do nothing but being patient. Factom was always good in rewarding those who are while it was very frustrating for those who based their decisions on daily prices. Many sold in June and July between 130 and 230 k and feel stupid now.
