discuss To Which Extent Can Big Players Manipulate the Short Domain Market?

[Arpit131]

One the one hand yes, their actions move the market.

But, and this is the main aspect I want to get across, they cannot (in my opinion) SUSTAINABLY alter a strong trend.

1) Can they exacerbate the current trend? For sure. So if short domains are in an uptrend and a huge buyer wants to acquire 500 chips quickly, gasoline will be added to the fire and the uptrend can be exacerbated. The same way, if a big chip holder panics and decides to flood the market with 500 chips during a downtrend, the downtrend will be exacerbated to the downside.

2) Can they CHALLENGE or TEMPORARILY alter the main trend? Yes, they can. So if we’re in an uptrend and someone decides to sell 500 chips, prices will go down temporarily but if the uptrend is genuinely strong, the market will absorb that inventory and continue the move up. The same way, if someone wants to buy 500 chips during a downtrend, he might be able to make prices move upwards temporarily but the fuel will soon run out if the other players are in a more pessimistic mode.

A lot of domainers might think that and some of the big players are probably delusional enough to agree with them but market forces can humiliate even the most well-funded player.

How far do you agree?

What we've been witnessing is classical market situation: demand, supply, competing influences then, sooner than later, equilibrium. "Invisible hand" of the market comes into play.
"An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations" - Adam Smith, 1776.

So, no need for panic.

Trust is a big factor .
People will always follow big players as long as they trust them. But once that trust is broken, no matter how colourful the big players paint a picture, there will be no takers.
Just my opinion

remember the history of this industry, remember the auction fraud etc. I am highly suspect of some of the sales reported on some of the new extensions, it would not surprise me if these are staged sales at least some big silly ones designed to get the sheep to buy up garbage
