People need to understand that dumping the price down to 1 satoshi is very beneficial to a whale. In fact it's worth the initial loss for them. They wait and put buy orders in at 1 satoshi and sell part of it at 2 satoshis. This is doubling your money, so if someone quick sold them at 1 satoshi they can put it back up to 2 satoshi's where investors would want to buy. This allows them to make a lot of profit while building up a huge stock of top coins for when they decide to pump. When they do pump they would make 5-7x their initial return because they decided to keep prices so low for so long.
