I don't think it's a pump either.

The coin hasn't been shilled onbiz or any of the usual PND channels. The increase hasn't been as sudden as your typical Pump/Dump.

Volume is still only 76k, which is great, but it also means that not a heap of new money needs to come in to drive the price at this stage.

I also saw some Sell Walls come down (rather than being purchased through), which again isn't a bad thing, I suspect early buyers were originally thinking that they'd be happy with a certain amount of profit, but then saw the coin doing well and decided that the coin is worth more than originally estimated.

Finally, whilst I expect some miners to start taking profit (mining profitibility is as good as anything at ~ 70 cents) to steady the increases a bit, however the total mined is not just pouring onto the exchange. Miners seem to be holding for a bit more too.  Given that Miners are extremely sceptical of value, this is probably the best sign of optimism in the coin from the larger community.

My (uneducated) predictions for the near future:

- Mining sharply increases, some miners take profit but difficulty holds correctly, we see expedited growth such as the last 72 hours, eventually this spurt mellows out and we return to normal slow growth
or
- Mining increases, difficulty algo is a bit weak, too many miners take profit, we see the price balance out/dip a little.
or
- 4chan etc get involved and we see a frenzy, this gets parabolic for a while, we see a dump after that. Coin will take a little while to recover back to stable growth.

As mentioned by quite a few wise heads in this forum, "Moon Missions" and "Lambos" is not what this coin needs. It's nice that it's going up so much, however there's no problems at all if the price stabilises back to more steady increases.

This increase is due to a magazine article in japan. Most volume is coming from there

Only thing disturbing is how serious you take yourself.

If you want to sell, then sell. Stop trying to blame someone else for your lack of faith in Ella. The so called "pumper" and "manipulator" as you say, is an accumulator in my mind, and they seem to be more than willing to buy anything you sell.

Triggered.

There is a apprentice whale on stock exchange buying and selling himself, trying to push the price so he can sell all his coins, makes profit, dumps the coin and repeat. Some noobs may fall for his trap but mostly no real trade on exchange, as you see buy orders support is very thin. Frankly to say, Ella has nothing till now but a wallet beta and a good idea (of cloning Etherium). And if you look through years of crypto century, there are many dead coins without ICO and premine. I'd better spend my whole precious bitcoin somewhere else for a while, then come back when the coin worths less than 3k and see where it will go.

Real trader be like  I bet you put the buy order on 3000 sat now and wait for the price drop then buy 
Comeon it's a old trick man but weak hand will sell because of this trick and thanks to you my friend.
i don't see any pump with current mining difficulty and price.

On 18 November you were in doubt between Expanse and Ellaism and now you are talking about whale apprentice? No matter how true this is, why would this whale let you know that information? Apparently, you want to get $ELLA at cheap prices... Without FUD!

What does that even mean? You call that a counter point? Go take a debate class, you're terrible.

I am not, never had NEO either, but I do remember what happened to it. I am a fanboy of Ella though. I left paying attention to crypto right after ETH ETC or whatever its now called, did the fork because they lost their bags. I notice a few good coins right now not wanting to go that route, Ellaism being one of them. You have no idea the type of people that Japanese article appears to have targeted. I only mention it because I do see it. 

is the windows wallet now fully tested and safe?
I have everything on myellawallet not, but im kinda scared that site might one day get hacked.
