Cryptopia still hasn't unfrozen the wallet deposits yet.
Artificial price spike since no one can add coin to the exchange. So the coins on there are "worth more".

Would be amazing is those prices stayed. I could put a down payment on a car

As soon as the wallet unlocks. Everyone will dump their coins on the price and tank the demand side. Any one not watching their buys will be left holding the bag as it falls. We only have 1.8 BTC in depth before it drops down to 140 satoshi.

A counter argument, to show that it is not a totally cornered market, and would be difficult to corner.

So if a person tries to take the pump too far they will have to buy a lot of expensive coins.

You are right though, any new person should never buy a coin while deposits are not enabled, because the price can be run up artificially.
