I don't really dismiss conspired multi-month massive manipulation per se, I just think that a) it's unlikely and b) even if it were true, it just means that the conditions of Bitcoin allowed it to be manipulated. Study the conditions, describe degree of susceptibility to manipulation.
Buy was between 7:05 and 07:10 UTC (too lazy to narrow down further), therefore it isn't proof. Too bad, now we will never know for sure.
let's assume for a moment that Loaded meant way more than what he said.
who is more likely to keep large amounts of fiat at Bitstamp, Pantera or some random internet guy name Loaded?
and just how did Loaded initiate a wire, let's say Friday, not knowing 30K BTC would be up for sale on Sunday? pure luck?
What do you mean, "way more than what he said"? I just meant to say that his post isn't proof that whoever is behind his account initiated the buy because it happened after the buy was made. It could be indicative though, given he showed activity 2-3 minutes post buy; we already know he has access to 40k coins and I'm certain he did buy at various points in the past bubble when he said he did. BTW, the buy was actually only a fifth of the original 30k wall (about 6k), and this along with the fact that it took until Monday morning does seem to indicate that it was actually fresh funds, therefore Loaded fits the narrative.
I don't know if he knew, I doubt he did. I'd assume it was a routine transfer and thus a lucky coincidence.
Anyway, this is all fruitless discussion I normally don't participate in, but it can be fun to do so. It just probably won't deliver any insight that'll make us more money.
anyways, all this guy Loaded says is that his fiat has arrived. and from that everyone assumes he is the one who took down the wall?
Fine, I'll do it. Loaded posted 07:12:33 UTCBuy was between 7:05 and 07:10 UTC (too lazy to narrow down further), therefore it isn't proof. Too bad, now we will never know for sure.

It's all there in the wall observer thread. A lot to go through, I know. I just happened to watch it all live.
