How much capital does it take to manipulate a shitcoin like PIPPIN? You’ll realize: way less than most people imagine. Daily trading volume at the bottom: $100K – $500K The whales can slowly accumulate, only needing to take up 20%–30% of the daily trading volume. Phase 1: Accumulation at the bottom, $20K–$100K/day, for 30–90 days, total $600K–$3M. Phase 2: Pre-pump prep, $300K–$500K, with 1–3 rounds of concentrated shakeouts, total $300K–$1.5M. Phase 3: Pump initiation, $500K–$2M over a few days, total $500K–$2M. In total: $1M–$5M is enough to pump this coin to the moon. The whales’ profit: $200M–$1B. Using a few million to manipulate a small coin and make hundreds of millions in profit—if you’re still trading instead of running the game, aren’t you just dumb as hell?
