You need your head examined if you believe this forum has any effect on the price.

People who are bearish and don't believe in bitcoin, when price is declining have confirmation that their beliefs are right,
and there is nothing better than knowing you're right and rubbing it in people's faces.

What makes you think I believe this forum has any effect on the price? I don't. So let's not make this personal.

However, impeccable manipulation requires 100% effort. Ever heard of the butterfly effect? If not, google it. We might think that a forum obviously has no effect on the price but sometimes the only thing left to trigger panic buying/selling is the one that is the least expected.

Hypothetically, if that were the plan/situation, the manipulator (from your scenario) would not wait until the end of the bull run to use these guys again. He would use them DURING the bull run to hype the run-up instead. The fact that things played out similar to their past predictions, and they've suddenly turned bull as the market turns around would lend even more credibility (if they had acquired any to begin with). In other words, they would always be paid to hype the current trend, not just the bearish ones.

That's a good idea.

I am paid by nobody, I have nothing to gain from this. I was a denial bulltard, but now I see the truth. I just want to spread it. I want idiot, greedy gambler's to burn their fingers and humble people to sell and find real jobs. That is why I'm warning people that there will be further fall (guaranteed), below $350. I have good connections, I know the market. Just want to save you money. After shorting on margin, before the bull sell, I made a tremendous profit and can live happily for the rest of my life.

Having nothing to gain and having nothing to lose are two separate things. Are you out from all cryptos or just BTC? Btw, the price could fall as low as 150$ per BTC so I'm not arguing with the bears. However, I personally expect cryptos to meet at least one more giant bubble and thus I am not getting into fiat, it's not worth the risk because every day the trend might reverse.
