Nothing in the Bitcoin ledger will tell you when someone's doing wash trading to manipulate the price.

Wash trading still happens in the NYSE, despite being illegal.
Interesting point about wash trading being somewhat untraceable. How about a coin that connects a hash whatever to each chunk of the token as it moves around so every coin has a backstory written into the blockchain. And that sounds like current fiat banking.
