Huh.
I am no expert on this... but damn. That makes XMR one of two things. Either being massively manipulated, or a candidate for a huge short squeeze, or both.
There was a similar post circulating on the Bitcoin Cash subreddit. The case for a massive short on either of these coins is likely based on complete fantasy.
The Bcash guys are blaming under-performance relative to Bitcoin on: a) massive shorting of BCH and b) rampant purchases of BTC with un-backed Tether.
