Does it seem like the whales/banks are testing both a stressed market (the other day) and slow market like today to see how much they can manipulate the market in any state?
I think they're all getting baselines of movement while they can.
Maybe I'm way off, but it seems like whales are having fun.
How I wish I can get a secret information on how this guy manipulate the market and have enough fund to place the opposite direction of orders in other to bring stability to any coins they are about to pump. This people are the major reason why mainstream online/offline shops have not adopting bitcoin as a payment options. I dislike this manipulations groups and to me it is selfish.
If you look closely at the behavior of bitcoin make sure that its price is constantly going up. Sellers are not fools. They also see this trend. Income from holding bitcoin can be more than goods trade. I think that trade is not developing because of the high prices for the transaction and the desire of users to keep from spending bitcoins. When you receive many offers of purchase of goods with bitcoin, sellers will take this into account.
