Suckers is the term for people that are sucked into pump and dump scams, bubbles and other miscellaneous market manipulations. Etherium skyrocketing growth this year was very suspect (aka well marketed) and The DAO crowdfund was, to an outsider, clearly manipulated. The Ether pumps were perfectly timed to maximize headlines and coverage to refuel the HYPE whenever necessary.

I agree with everything you said, except the spelling of Ethereum. :) I'm very fortunate that I picked the right time to sell all of my ETH holdings. I only wish some of my friends were as well. :/ I watched the price closely all day, every day, expecting a huge dump, but not for this reason. I chose to bail around $19.90 and when it hit $21 I was afraid I pulled the trigger way too early. Hours later my decision looked far better.
