Interestingly, another cryptocurrency which did somethibg similar to the Fluffypony Incident was my then beloved DigitalNote.
They -XDN team- announced they they will do some announcement xD At the end, the great announcement was that Price Manipulation Scheme whcih they called ICCO.
Price surged during the announcement's announcement and then tokens returned to their price. I had to say that one of the features I liked the most about XDN were their price stability. Until then.
During the real ICCO price scaped the stratosphere. And, as it had to be because of the universal law of gravity, came back to their initial price.
