When you have a company that will be a winner in the long term, on the OTC's, with many investors trying to accumulate between now and then, when the volume is consistently low, and pps is consistently volatile, traders will play it to their advantage.
Unfortunately, that's the environment for a startup. Fortunately for long term investors, we all know the end game will produce positives. For those not accumulating its best to just ignore the day to day manipulation.
