I believe a small group of people with millions of dollars in resources is manipulating the Bitcoin market, artificially injecting extreme volatility and reaping huge profits.
Do you have any data under your tin foil hat to support this claim?
I don't have proof, but there are signs.
I forgot one other obvious sign. The market will go for many hours with volumes of less than 100 bitcoins per minute. Then, out of the blue, 5,000 or 10,000 bitcoins get sold all at once. Are you suggesting that this is just random coincidence, that 1,000 people just decided to sell 10 BTC at the exact same instant? This happens fairly frequently. It sounds much more like deliberate market manipulation to me!
I've provided the data you requested. Are you going to take back the "tin foil hat" comment?
