Note that he doesn't say anything concrete in his posts. That's so he can weasel out of people calling him on his BS. Much like a palm reader. My hunch is if he wasn't just pulling that Dec 14 advice out of his ass, he had inside info on Chinese regulation. He doesn't move the markets. Governments, businesses and sentiment move markets. But that won't stop him from making people think he does.

Some interesting things about this post.

Firstly, you seem to be responding to a straw man. When I see this, I wonder: Why? You may be reacting to a monster of your imagination. You may be reacting to a monster of the public imagination as you construe it.

Secondly, why the bitter tone? Ressentiment much? Someone tries to give you helpful information, and you attribute all manner of venality to them. Strange. But I see this in many people. When you try to help them to accomplish their goals, they get very irritated with you sometimes. It can often discourage me from helping them, but I try not to let it get in my way too much.

Thirdly, these mass forces of which you speak only impact the market in as much as they cause fiat and/or bitcoin supplies to increase or decrease in the order book. Everyone who participates in the market moves it. The more fiat or coins they move, the more they move the market. Since the market moves against the interest of the buyer or seller, one seeks to minimize that impact, not compound it. Yet you seem to think loaded wants to compound his impact. That must mean that you think he is trying to lose money, or else he is playing the game backwards. I'd be interested to know how he is playing it backwards, if that is your model.

Personally, I think you have a paranoid view resulting from allowing jealousy of another's wealth to corrupt your ratiocination. (But I may be reading too much into the negative spaces between your comments.) If my diagnosis should be correct, the most helpful thing I can suggest is that you meditate upon the concept of natural selection. Remember that some people in a large population will just be much more successful than you, with overwhelming probability, and there's nothing you can do about that, no matter how good you are, or how long or how hard you try. It's okay to be number 2. Actually, it's freaking amazing to be number 2. You're already way past the mean and into the long tail at the upper end. Chill.
