Nobody I contacted (who replied) had the BTC to buy what I had to sell. Thats the only reason I went to the free and open market.

Hey stonehedge, are you in fact coinzcoinzcoinz too? You seem to have answered this thread below as coinzcoinzcoinz because your text in that thread indicates you're observing the sells going on whereas coinzcoinzcoinz was the one who sold 20K worth?

mister whale, please continue to dump

my orders haven't been filled yet

I don't think this is a whale.

Some mini whales dumped 100,000DRK+ in three hits within the last 30 days.

We are currently seeing smaller amounts of dumping influencing the market. As pointed out up thread though, volume is low so I suppose this has a comparable effect.

I stand corrected. Just saw the 33k dump last night. Resistance indeed.

I dumped 20k yesterday. I always told myself that at $1.70 I would have to sell about half of my coins. I reached my panic point. I quit my job few months ago because of my DRK investments (I went all-in with 95% of my net worth), so I needed to secure my future to have enough money to start a business. Hopefully you understand, price has never been important for me, but it becomes important when your personal future gets in danger. I'm done dumping now and holding on to my remaining 30k as a long term hold. I'm still a firm believer in this project and I'm fairly confident that at the end of the road this project will change the world.

This is utterly unacceptable behavior. You have been engaged in this community long enough to know that there is over the counter methods and interest to purchase Darkcoin, even by Evan himself. You basically decided to punish the community by dumping on an exchange as you turned supposedly part of your holding back to BTC. Shame, shame, shame on you!

Falsealarm, one of the key attributes of investing in things like DRK is there's enough liquidity that you can choose to do whatever you need to do whenever you need to do it. A person has that right when they've taken the risk of putting their money into it. I'm so sicking of hearing this "holier than thou" "high-priest of crypto" attitude. The constant use of the term "dumping" creates an impression of nasty underhandedness and that anyone who sells anything close to a large amount is a shameless manipulator. I'm not suggesting manipulation isn't going on (crypto is probably one of the worst arenas for it I've seen in a long time) but if someone wants to sell their coins on an exchange that's their business. It's a free market and they can do whatever they like with their assets. I think you need to check in with reality and have a think about what you've said, the situation coinz described and why your response is so unreasonable.

Hold on, hold on, hold on. F' the free market, and the community, the individuals who make up the community, the ideas behind Darkcoin or the rest of the crypto ecosystem. Would an intelligent investor who claims to still hold 30K in Darkcoins sell 20K on an exchange? Would a large institutional investor do this? Does the large sale of 20K at market prices at a time volume is significatly low not work against your remaining holding of 30K and your hopes of ever recouping your investment? He should have at least pinged a couple of the largest supposed holders via direct messaging.

Yes it does. Probably not the way I would've done it, but my point is one can choose whatever to do with their assets. It's like when a few neighbours in a street all decide to sell their properties at the same time and they all have similar properties priced approximately within a few percentage points of each other. then one of them cuts loose and drops their price for a quick sale and the others all get very upset. It's the dynamics of the market (as brutal as it can be sometimes). If Darkcoin is to progress and grow, as well as adoption, we need to see the market able to deal with all the different types of decisions people make about buying and selling and their choices on the speed they either acquire or offload through pricing to suit. I think your "shame on you" comment is overly harsh and out of line.

Well he may have done this (based on my query above as to who is who); we don't really know. Again, each to his own and people should be able to choose what do do with their assets without someone coming down on them like a ton of bricks.
