Reading into this could one deduce, and do you think, that this is deliberate in a sense that people, whoever they are, want a lower entry price and therefore the short attack has two functions ie allow people to make money on the way down plus create an environment that scuttles the weak hands but bodes well for those wanting a lower entry price. I mean it could go all pear shaped in a heartbeat, and I hope it does, but these people know shit us mere mortals can only hope that it doesn't destroy us in the process

It's a cynical view, full of cries of manipulation and conspiracies I know, but I'm bored.
