Bitstamp stuff are behaving a little bit strange :

mmmm so Why ? they never did that before !!!
It's highly concerning that apparently Bitstamp is showing willingness to manipulate the market given the role they play., because we don't know if there is any real foul play behind the scenes. MtGox once did the same with a similar statement in a press release. I deemed them somewhat more professional than MtGox, but perhaps I was wrong.

At least MtGox have stated that they would disallow their employees from insider trading, but I have not heard anything like that from Bitstamp.

I agree. This is unprofessional.

what is unprofessional.. the fact that China's news was used by manipulators to spread fear mongering  and failed miserably?



This has nothing to do with China news. It has to do with Bitstamp implying investment advice, and how that is unprofessional. In the real world, it would even be illegal. Imagine what would happen if a stock exchange started telling its customers to buy a stock.

HOWS is THIS INVESTMENT ADVICE? I've heard to the moon more often as joke from bears to kid at us now .. man you guys and girls take some shit so serious while just avoiding everything else of a similar nature which is actual fraud and manipulation LOOOOL enjoy being thumb suckers.
If they say "to the moon", it implies that they are very confident in an upwards price movement and that their customers should buy. Even if you think it's a joke, other people might not. In the real market, it would illegal to even make such a vague reference and you would be potentially liable if a customer were to trade based on your statements and lose. It's also simply not the way that a business should communicate.

What is the with the caps, profanity, and emotions? I did not use any of that.

It means that the coins bought on Huobi in the last rally are finnaly flowing into their exchange and that a crash is imminent.
