Even bitcoin is used by large players to manipulate the market.
The development team can also influence the price, as there is no other use of the xbc coin yet.
We hope that every member of the xbc community will get what he wants.
The price fall from what I gather is one sole XBC whale who had been dumping coins all along profiting from our hard work all the while destroying our ability to remian viable.Unfortunately this "whale" wasn't much of a market maker on poloniex because all they did was dump coins for months and was only interested in their own greed at everyone else's expense.This is the major drawback for PoS systems.
