I don't understand what you guys are complaining about. I was holding some btc and some usd on bitfinex, I sold my btc when it rose this morning and am waiting to buy back in. Apparently you were just holding usd and that's why you guys think this spike was evil manipulation? just because the market doesn't go your way does not mean it's manipulation by a few evil people on the masses. What it means is you were at the wrong end of the swing, end of story.
Btw, I'm all usd right now and if it rises I won't think conspiracy, I will just think I should have hedged my bet by leaving some btc. My mistake, not the market's. Trying to understand the mindset you guys seem to have just gives me a headache.
