But if I pull again, no one will play anymore, so I estimate I need to dig a small pit to test it out

$PIPPIN I think that this coin's dealer wants to crash it now, but no one is buying, which is why it can't drop. The chips are all in their hands. So we can only watch while they pull up the price; whether they crash or pull it up is all self-directed. Now it's just about how the contract's counterpart controls the price. If no one is playing with the contracts, then they will create some noise, either a big rise or a big fall. You can invest a small amount to try it out, just like buying a lottery ticket. As long as you buy against the majority, you can sip some soup with the dealer.
