NAKED
Highly volatile days like today are when you can SEE appearance of naked shorting in real time. Bittrex is almost all buy-and-holders of #BSV. Other exchanges don't really have any natural buyers/sellers, all large entities pushing things around.
Notice the 6% premium?
Last year I witnessed that difference at > 40% when crypto was getting punished. All buyers on Bittrex, no sellers even at 40% premium to OKex & others.
Notice the denominator to the pair? It's Tether.
Notice demon to buyers on Bittrex? It's USD.
Compare the volumes now.
Any retail US trader has to use Bittrex to buy #BSV, so how is volume 1/100th the vol. on OKex? OKex has whales that own #BSV & are selling at all-time-low prices? Poppycock. Just wash-trade BSV down on OKex w large $ volume & Messari/WorldCoinIndex/etc algos report price⬇️...
...which then scares the hell out of natural buyers on Bittrex, who either panic or hit sell-stop-limits & get sold at loss, which lessens risk of the scheme for manipulator, who goes further with it.
BSV/Tether 100x > vol. of entirety of American retail buyers of #BSV/USD? NOT!
How did today's 6% price differential become 40% last Spring? At some point in downdraft, #BSV buyers refuse to sell, no more stop limits, all weak hands gone. Nothing but buyers (bids) & no sellers (asks) on Bittrex, but other exchanges still going lower (somehow).
FAKE DATA
On exchanges like OKex, BitFinex, Binance (even some who SAY they don't trade BSV but offer it to large institutions) there's 100x the sellers of Bittrex all excited to own Tethers? Sound like a BSVer you know? NOT.
Because the sellers "likely" dont exist.

Homework 4U:
Ask your friendly neighborhood cryptoCrap price aggregator website how they calculate which price to show you for #BSV. Ask for the algo, bc remember kids, there's MANY exchanges BSV trades.
Dr. Wright mentions "beyond a 3-body problem" in description of his steganographic changes (explaining there's 4 variables) he demonstrated to his solicitors!
Why is this cool? Physics's 3-body problem was one of the biggest complexity-hurdles for...
...calculating gravitational effects on cosmos objects (planets for instance). This is great stuff! You don't describe steganographic multi-variable complexity without command of many inter-disciplinary subjects.
Gunning is proving how goddam smart Dr. Wright is, without...
...knowing his cross-examination is helping @Dr_CSWright's skeletal argument that it's his KNOWLEDGE (not a stego-proof of BWP) which makes him Satoshi!
I think this is why Craig is smiling during this questioning. He's in his element when getting questioned about technology.
Martti Malmi confirmed on the witness stand that he changed the bitcoin forums website & hosting without including Satoshi Nakamoto. An even BIGGER surprise, hosting for the forums was provided by Karpeles— of Mt Gox infamy!
possesses relevant direct messages between Satoshi & Mãlmi which have not been disclosed to the court but which could verify statements made by Dr Wright. Yet somehow ONE DM made it into evidence. Choicy. Is that a word in the dictionary?
…by the way, is a known openly hostile Reddit forum subreddit controller for bitcoin who operated an early cancel-culture strategy for pushing small-block changes & mindset down the throats of reddit participants.

...began Dr Wright's offensive, and offense is fun already. We got a 24 minute taste of Lord Grabi & a few things are already clear:

Could a very clever man who's received a Lion's share of public denigration have the last laugh by turning in a masterpiece of a trial? Do you remember when Howard Roark didn't really fight very hard, saying nothing all trial, & then delivered the classic "Randian speech"?

Genesis's "Invisible Touch" album was all the rage (Genesis headlining often on #MiamiVice) right when I learned to drive, a masterpiece of an album (favorite song: Tonite Tonite...). The Genesis block could be said to seem to have an Invisible Touch, yeah? The private...

Don used the succinct (to put it mildly) two-word phrase to amaze his Lucky Strike execs, with a cleverest-of-marketing plans to not over-explain a new law by the US Gov't to put HAZARDOUS warning labels on cigarettes (1965). He explained his plan with two short words...

Everyone in the room was stupified bc Don had been utterly silent for a long awkward pause, looking like he had no idea what he was doing here, looking for an escape. This same scene occured today, but with the line...

…let’s touch upon what we can in a shortened summary bc yesterday @kurtwuckertjr & I went over some of the interesting themes hours after Day 7 concluded:
We’ve known since mid last week copa only had until Tuesday to work on Dr Wright, and…youtube.com/live/Ln3BzXrwg…
@kurtwuckertjr …he’s been introducing TONS of new material while copa sticks to their plot. But copa SHOULD, if Wright is not Satoshi, be working furiously in the past 6 full days to prove Craig’s new material is wrong. They’ve had plenty of time. Day 7 was the final day to really double…
