Can someone finally explain me this "holding price down" by whales?
Are you saying this is only down by preventing people who look at the order book? Because I'd imagine most buyers in crypto don't look there all too often.
And if one whale puts up a sell wall, he'd still lose the asset when people spend (low) money. How can you put up a sell wall and accumulate at the same time?
Thank you
Is she about to put a DGB in a few months or I'm just losing it?
1. Put up sell wall on coin that has pretty low trade volume (so the wall doesn't just immediately get eaten by buyers)
2. wait until several people beat your price (due to impatience -- they don't want to have to wait ages for your wall to fall, after all)
3. Buy those lower sell orders

By having lots of money. You put a sell order for a huge amount of money to scare people into dumping. Meanwhile you snap the coins up at a low price. Then you delete the sell order and the other traders will gain buying confidence again. The coin pumps and you've managed to accumulate more of it at a cheap price by instilling fear in other traders.
Same thing with pump and dumps. You create confidence in he coin and others will help you pump it. Then you sell it at a high price. Then you buy low again and start instilling confidence once more.
Unfortunately you need millions to do this.
