Can you go into more detail on what kinds of market manipulation ploys exist?

  Buy coins, create positive news & watch the price go up, sell coins at the new high. Sell coins, create negative news & watch the price go down, buy coins at the new low. Same as what unscrupulous people have been doing since the beginning of commerce.

    Back when bitcoin was pennies, I bought BTC and then listed a bunch of nonexistent desirable drugs shipping from a convenient location for sale on the silk road, then dumped the BTC a few cents higher, without ever taking an order. I only made a few bucks, but I was curious if it were possible then to move such a tiny market. It was.
