I wonder. 
It looks like the people posting here don't have that much btc/cash/funds and are almost all small fish. One of the reasons is of course the bounty hunters. People with >100btc don't need bounties. People with >1000btc don't need this forum lol... So I wonder, all the fud, shilling etc here. Does it really have an impact on prices? I tend to believe we are all manipulated big time by real whales with 100's and 1000's of btc. If a group of eth hodlers of several 100k eth decide together: let's go down today, then we will go down. When prices are down enough they decide to go up. Thoughts? This pattern is the most obvious on reall small exchanges with bullshit coins. Look at some of them! You KNOW they are worth nothing and all of a sudden they moon and drop.
That's true ,compared to reddit any FUD or shilling here is useless . People who join this forum are either looking to get some experience and learn about cryptocurrencies or simply bounty hunters who are trying to make some money . Real investors will not follow the forum for the news there are already too many outlets out there that are publishing crypto news ,besides all the threads here seem to be from newbies who have no idea what they are talking about . So It's hard to believe any big holder would listen to any news from this forum. It looks like the people posting here don't have that much btc/cash/funds and are almost all small fish.
