Investors who own a large amount of Bitcoin may be concerned with spoofing and wash trading to manipulate bitcoin as well as other coin's price. Spoofing is known as the action of creating false buy orders to attract other to get in with the intention to raise coin's price and then actually sell coins for profit. Wash trading, similarly, happens when someone simultaneously sells and buys to create false demand and supply, meant to make it appear as if an asset has more trade volume than it really does.
