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.

This is one of the multiple forums that exist to share ideas and thoughts about the fascinating world of cryptocurrencies. On the way many have found that they can also get some benefits through their participation in some bounties, but I think that this forum was created in no way in order to move the market or generate large changes in the behavior of a specific coins. It is true that this market tends to overreact to the rumors, but those are usually generated in high circles of developers, not in the pages of this forum.
