Just my opinion, your big white text doesn't do so well on this light forum theme. I would either chose a darker text color (and a new font, please...) or just use the forum text instead of rendering the text into an image.

3 huge buys greater than the available order book are not upwards pressure, they are manipulation. It's a so called whale selling to himself to create the appearance of volume. Then the buyers come in on the hyped volume and he dumps those 9 BTC worth right into them.

Judge himself has said he doesn't want this and it's not welcome here but that was what was happening so I posted it. Most of the volume today was someone trading himself 400K to 500K coins back and forth. It was P&D.

Of Pump and Dumps...

Today we hit #1 24 Hour trade volume on Bittrex with over 186 BTC in trades.  Personally I am proud of the fact that we are getting that kind of attention.  There is speculation that we are in the middle of a Pump and Dump.  As in most cases the truth is neither black or white, but shades of grey.  There is undoubtedly market manipulation that goes on with every coin.  The manipulation is primarily in new coins by touting features and hype to drive up the price only to dump it.  Well organized Pump and Dumps with new coins end up hurting unknowing investors.  They buy into the hype and get left holding the bag.  I have made it somewhat difficult to artificially pump Judge Coin as I have not announced any specific feature the coin will pursue.  If people are pumping the fact that we are a long term coin then that is absolutely true as we are!  

I am not here to be a financial adviser.  I founded and manage the coin with a great team and community input.  Don't put anything into crypto you cant afford to lose.  That said the reason I posted my personal bio was I wanted to make people feel comfortable that there is a real leader for this coin.  Too many coins are launched now with a lot of feature promises only to be let down.  I am not promising any specific feature.  I am promising a organizational process and my hard work.

What I can tell you that I am not focused on short term price gains.  I believe that since we have a limited supply of coins the price will grow organically as more people find out about the coin and buy in for the long run.   Many people bought in at sub 1k prices.  It is natural for these people to cash in on their investment.  I actually applaud those that believed in Judge Coin and my vision to start.  If they want to realize gains then they deserve it.  Without those early supporters we would not have been able to support Judge Coin with millions of coins being dumped by wafflepool and trademybit.

For all those finding about Judge coin now I want you to know that I am focused on long term building of the coin.  New features will be introduced.  I am not going to pre-announce a specific feature so that a Pump and Dump can occur on it.  Right now the lead dev is working on the next wallet update.  After that he will be working on the multipool.

We have a already vibrant and growing community.  Please check out facebook, twiiter, and reddit!  There are dedicated community mangers there.  

Exciting times are ahead

Judge Crypto

What was happening today had nothing to do with you Judge. you have always been more than honest. Your coin is simply next up in the crosshairs. BitScam can't launch their ICOs anymore after so many failures, the last one being a $180,000.00 USD scam. The community is sick of it and look here for honesty. As your coin gets more traction after all the scams, the P&D'er are certainly going to follow. There was obvious manipulation going on today so i felt it better to speak. I hope I didn't ruffle anyone's feathers but I also hope no one has to hold a bag because they were warned.

Just keep keeping on man. You are doing fine. I cannot tell you I will long term hold because that would be a lie, but I do buy in/out all of the time. Think of yourself as the US Government Bonds of crypto. Don't earn much, but they don't go down due to fraud either.

When too many scams happen in a week I am always back here with a buy in.

Keep up the good work.

I was watching the market all day yesterday, the transactions in question are absolutely the work of a sole trader. The orders we're talking about don't even appear on the order book they happen so quickly, ensuring only the same person buys back his coins.

There have definitely been "legitimate" big trades- a 2BTC support wall that was a couple of sats lower than the top buy price got wiped out in one dump, same happened the other way round and that's just free trade and as you say it's nothing to a big player to have a 2BTC wall dumped into.

Basically what i'm saying is you're both right and tbh I'm happy for any attention we can get right now. Once the word is out we will huge support and we will make this coin even stronger.

It's great. I follow you.

Seems like Judge has reached it plateau on 2000. I wondered how high it would go. What are you guys planning to prevent the price graph from following most other alt-coins from here which is normally a gradual downward slope?

EDIT: I see the plans are covered in the previous poster's link. I hope it is enough to keep the volume and price momentum going.

Is it manipulation or simply trading? It's a free market.
