However, the one thing that strikes me as unusual, is the fact that they are acting completely opposite of the way scammers would act. I mean for instance, yesterday if Alty wanted to pump up the price and sell his coins at profit he could have made his tweet a complete fabrication and something to rile the people up like "Yeah we are just finishing Beta testing - the final version of OneMarket is out tomorrow at 2 pm GMT". Doing things like this could have significantly increased the profits of the devs if they are indeed doing insider trading. Yet his tweet yesterday was blank and non-descript - so the whole idea of them trying to pull such an elaborate scam is questionable.
I thought about this a lot. On one side, this kept me thinking the same as you do. On the other hand, I thought about it being a test round for a new way to pull money off of peoples' pockets. Trying not to do one big thing, but instead doing it slowly, looking how people react to excuses, trying to bring the price back up. Rinse and repeat and hope it pays out better than the "one big thing".
I know, that even sounds more like a conspiracy.

It is far fetched, but not impossible. In these day and age we are seeing very sophisticated and elaborate scams, but I hope you are wrong - for the sake of the mental health of these decent people here Smiley

Anyway, I appreciate you, and the fact that we can have a healthy debate in dire circumstances such as these. It just goes to show that you are a gentleman and that's a rare thing these days, especially so on the Internet. Cheers.
