What are you talking about? The whole crypto are manipulated by whales. Why do you think we are in a dump period now? If you read Bancor white paper this is what they are trying to solve: too much manipulation in cryptos. Cryptos cannot go to mainstream if these problems continue to exist. That's the reason why I think Bancor will play an important role in the crypto market in the future. It is way too easy to manipulate on the exchange. Wait when volume is low and try it yourself.
First of all Crypto especially Bitcoin and ETH are already mainstream. Manipulations will continue to exists no matter what you do. One whale can lower price on Bittrex and cause all other Exchanges to go red due to arbitrage traders, this will stay main problem. Bancor is good idea but in Crypto everything is in speed of delivery.

Well manipulation cant really be done in bancor smart contract, the whale that try to pump and dump will loss some bnt/eth in the process.
You should try it. And you will know what im saying here.
Or you can read the whitepaper.
Well you can manipulate in exchanges, but you gonna suffer, arbitrage (well anybody can be arbitrage here)
will grab those cheap coin and sell in more stable smart contract price.
The recent dump is just a dump.
That guy didnt buy back.
And this is not manipulation. Its just a weak hand investor that dump,
He should dump in smart contract instead for better price. Lol
