I think nobody can control or own the bitcoin system like they can not control and possess the technology by email and the internet. I think Bitcoin is no different than a mobile application or program that offers a personal Bitcoin wallet and allows users to send and receive Bitcoin.

According to Bitcoin.org, nobody owns the Bitcoin network much like no one owns the technology behind email. Bitcoin is controlled by all Bitcoin users around the world. While developers are improving the software, they can't force a change in the Bitcoin protocol because all users are free to choose what software and version they use. In order to stay compatible with each other, all users need to use software complying with the same rules. Bitcoin can only work correctly with a complete consensus among all users. Therefore, all users and developers have a strong incentive to protect this consensus.

bitcoin is controlled by all of us

There are people who own a very large percentage of the extracted bitcoins.
If they want to change the price, they will do it.

And there is no question of any decentralization!
Bitcoin has become a means of manipulation.

Will in my own perception bitcoin will controlled to all us,who being a part of cryptocurrency because we are the one who make our own market and investment trading in the blockchain,but there are some people or other organization who tried to manipulate the cryptocurrency system and  thats group that we called a whales or big player in the market,because sometimes they controlled the trade in the crypto system into there hand, by creating FUD to us.

Bitcoin is controlled by all its users worldwide. Developers can indeed improve Bitcoin software, but they can not enforce changes in the Bitcoin protocol because all users are free to choose the software and version they want to use. In order to remain compatible with each other, all users need to use software that follows the same rules. Bitcoin works only when there is full consensus among all users.

The majority controls bitcoin. It's a decentralized coin... but it's majority rule. Miners in China could control bitcoin if they invest enough to become the majority. It's already sort of happened before.

As a decentralized system with a complicated design, we are hard to see. There are a number of players with more or less events (for example, miners, holders, exchanges, even developers), but one of them may have more power than the other in terms of improvements to the Bitcoin protocol technology to be performed. Which causes expensive or not Bitcoin prices. Bitcoin holders have the greatest impact on bitcoin prices because of their effect on existing Bitcoin supplies.

I suggest you read Satoshi's whitepaper to truly understand bitcoin.

Bitcoin technology is decentralized, meaning no central authority, no central control. People set-up their machines to become nodes themselves but it doesn't it that they have control. Although they are investors (whales) who usually owns large amount of bitcoin, it doesn't mean that they have control as well.

I do not think anybody controls it. Those with big money are affecting the price.

They change the price by making money in and out.

In the past, the coin prices did not go that far.

Good money was earned by buying and selling. Not anymore.

the bitcoin system is a decentralized virtual currency so there is no control or central bitcoin circulation by any party. if anyone thinks that the bitcoin price movement is very volatile because of the intentional elements of certain parties by way of pump or dump in my opinion is not true. the rise and fall of the bitcoin price is highly dependent on market demand if market demand is large, there will certainly be some kind of effect from the rising bitcoin price movement. some of the factors that cause the current decline in bitcoin prices are the decrease in the scale of investors caused by many factors, one of which is some negative news which tend to be very angular about bitcoin.

The only one who can control bitcoin is its users. the developers only facilitate to provide virtual wallet services to bitcoin users without being able to change the system implemented by bitcoin with blockchain technology. With it, pure bitcoin is controlled by all its users so that the price also depends on the sale and purchase activities in various bitcoin marketplace and price fluctuations through the agreement with the users. However, the unique feature of this technology is that bitcoin transactions are confirmed by miners and recorded on all connected servers around the world.

I also think that bitcoin does not control and it all depends on all users in terms of rising and falling prices, and players with large capital usually can affect bitcoin prices.

Bitcoin is stored locally rather than on the Internet. It is essentially a file stored on your computer, mobile phone, or other hardware device, that is, a bunch of digital signatures generated by calculations, or strings. The circulation of Bitcoin is entirely controlled by the network rather than a third party organization.

Technically, the one who owns bitcoin are the users/holders itself. So there's no really single entity who can dictate the price of btc but the supply and demand. If one person holds great percentage of btc, he can affect the price in one single movement.

The idea that investors are the ones who control Bitcoin is not a new idea. Multiple articles and blog posts have been written on the topic over the years.

Ideally there is no one who owns or has a controlling claim to BTC, it has developers who update and improve the operation system in an attempt to make it more efficient. there are however a group of people who owns large number of Bitcoins giving them the power to manipulate the prices, they can easily change the prices if they want to.

please don't try to repeat but rephrase what you have read/heard somewhere and only understood half of it. it just makes your statement be weird and misleading.
the thing is, there is no bitcoin to be stored in first place. there are only keys and transactions. the transactions are stored on the public ledger called blockchain and the keys are what you generate/store to be able to spend those transaction outputs.

Actually no one can control the whole system of bitcoin, because of the bitcoin and blockchain is diversified, so this is the advantage that the bitcoin, is also various countries gradually acknowledged that the bitcoin status.

isn't bitcoin has a checkpoint key and alert key that very few core dev team member holds? with these keys they can effectively destroy the coin if they want.

No one controls it as it is decentralised and was created for the sole reason not to depend on anyone ... yet developments in bitcoin are controlled by a set of people you can find here : https://github.com/orgs/bitcoin/people

yes, I agree with you, bitcoin system can not be controlled, because is decentralized, and this is the main reason why bitcoin system is difficult to be hacked.

but there are some groups that can affect the bitcoin.
1. developers, they have a big influence on bitcoin, that is to write rule set in bitcoin protocol.
2. miners. they have a significant effect on the bitcoin system, writing down all the bitcoin transaction data in the blockchain. when bitcoins have hard fork, then the miner is the one who determines whether the system works good or not.
3. investors, they affect the value of bitcoin
4. trader.
5. exchange.

and the reason above is what distinguishes it from other payment systems.

Bitcoin is not controlled by anyone. Bitcoin is operated by users all over the world. It belongs to everyone.

As a decentralized system with a complicated design, we are hard to see. There are a number of players with more or less incidents (for example, miners, holders, exchanges, even developers), but one of them may have more power than others in terms of improvements to the Bitcoin protocol technology to be performed.

Bitcoin is controlled by us the people it is decentralised meaning nobody has full control of it.
Satoshi may have first implemented it but nobody knows for certain who or where he is. His coins have never moved. Let's hope he never forgot his private keys.
We even control the value if more people want bitcoin the price goes up and vice versa.

Man, listen to yourself, btc is controlled by minority who holds most of btc. Its all about money and power. Dont be fooled that this system (btc) is something different than others where money is involved. Everything gets exploited in man's hand. Its just what we have in nature. A self-destructive mechanism.

 Bitcoin is independent and decentralized, that's why it operates free of any institutional controls. there are however a team of developers who make updates and improvements on its operating system to increase its efficiency

With blockchain system, there is no people, organization, or government institution able to control bitcoin because its decentralized. Because its decentralized so a lot of Government and the central bank in many country are prohibiting the circulation of bitcoin.

Bitcoin is indeed a decentralized monetary system.

But is the situation same?

Isn't the manipulation from Market Makers(MMs) has intensified recently?

Since December last year, many big financial institution were able to enter the market and now hold a decent percentage of the whole marketcap. I was watching the Bitmex charts and noticed how badly the manipulation is being done. The bulk holders are screwing longs and shorts equally without any set pattern. Bitcoin, since the year started, isn't following any chart sequence because MMs understand how the market sentiment works. Added to that, those exchanges who have all the data of sell and buy orders are also a big manipulator in the game.

I think all the people around the world who use and invest in  bitcoins are the ones in control. When there is no one who value bitcoin it will became worthless.

It is technically controlled by the bitcoin community, the people who use bitcoin, mine it, trade it and believe in its future.
Trader make transactions of Bitcoin and Miners help these transactions of bitcoin possible and easy and the believers of bitcoin just hodl it!

In actual bitcoin technology is not just a app system or any site system that is using any data that we send at one side and wirtten data show at another side , but in actual there exists a type of transfer of actual data of the system .
In actual no any thing here works for direct transfer but a type of the algorithm works where many things like miners works and also another system where block system are working .
And another thing is that here we have no input and output system where we can't inject our data or any script and also there exists a private key system which helps us to handle the bitcoin containing adress only .
So it is not a simple type of system that you are thinking , it is more secure than what the banking sector are using the technology .

Interesting question, Bitcoin is very difficult and complex system, I thin it would be difficult to control it fully, but still I think there should be some general control tools. maybe I am mistaken.

I think the overall movement of pure bitcoin is only in the control of demand and the total supply available, if the total supply available is very limited it is certain the price will rise, not only that the end of this much bad news circulating from bitcoin and make the price of bitcoin crushed .

As I read and heard, there is no control over bitcoin, but the only program on the computer controls it, and I think it's true, it's better to have this, no one can move on here.

that is also what I think and become a question in my mind, I asked to some of my friends, they also can not answer. perhaps in this group I can get an accurate answer. I see the answers in this group vary and do not fit my mind.

we all know that bitcoin is not decentralized by anyone. but the development of bitcoin is controlled by the bitcoin users themselves. price setting on the market, development of new members and investors. they affect the market of bitcoin in the world.

I dont know but we all know that is is a decentralized factor so thats great about that.But I'm so thankful of bitcoin thats why I'm very much thankful.

Since changes are done by voting, the biggest pools controls what changes to be made on the protocol.

As a decentralized form of currency, Bitcoin prides itself on having no governing body. It is completely run by the people who use it.Technically it’s controlled by the community that consists of developers / miners / traders / those who hold this particular currency

my opinion is
There are people who have a very large percentage of extracted bitcoins.
If you want to change the price, they will do it.
And there is no question about any decentralization!
Bitcoin has become a manipulation tool.
Therefore I strongly advise you to listen to my word

Bitcoin is managed by the owner of the wallet. And the cost of bitcoin is controlled by people with very large money.

Bitcoin is controlled by all its users almost all over the world almost because its decentralized system means that no one has to stay compatible with each other those who use bitcoin who can control this all

Bitcoin itself is its director. It does not need anyone to control. Use it to be its controller.

developers have designed software (cardiac crypto) that can be used for everyone in the world. Automatically in order to be used by users around the world.

Even Goldman Sachs one of biggest invesment institution now has bought one of the exchangers, Poloniex. With the influx of big institutions with big capital, maybe in the future market will be controlled by the big financiers

Bitcoin is controlled by the community consist of developers,miners,bitcoin traders and bitcoin holders.

Good to learn from what other people think.

- miners are def key.
- Even it is decentralized, big money control the price.

Bitcoin is an decentralized currency which means no one is controlling the bitcoin,that is the main reason for the invention of bitcoin to offer the service for the people who can be able to send and receive currency any where without banks help.Bitcoin was designed by working with the blockchain technology but it is not a mobile application.

I am not sure but I think, technically it’s controlled by the community. What is the community? Consists of developers,miners, traders, those who hold currency.

1. Developers: You can find the Bitcoin source code here - bitcoin/bitcoin - it says there are 376 contributors, which you can see here - contributors - and you can make your own contributions / adjustments (they may or may not get approved)
2. Bitcoin miners: These people have bought the hardware / pay for the electricity to make the transactions and the network “function”.
3. Bitcoin traders: Large stake holders who move the markets in certain ways by altering liquidity.
4. Bitcoin holders: Those who are not necessarily in the “trading” realm, but have been buying and holding the currency.

right . bitcoin as an algorithm built on the foundation of blockchain. So no one can control this system. But this market has people who can control it going up or down. Because those who are keeping large amounts of bitcoin they can control the market up and down at their will.

It is decentralized so NO ONE is controlling it.

bitcoin is decentralized, this is the difference between bitcoin and other fiat currency.
there are bitcoin developers but they not control bitcoin, they develop bitcoin features.
no one can control bitcoin i think.

 There is really no one controlling the Bitcoin system, its independent and free of any centralized influence. the development teams however keep on updating the system to improve its efficiency but doesn't necessarily manipulate it

Bitcoin is operated by decentralized system.There is formal party, personal or institution even government can control that system.All people involved in this system can monitor and contribute to the system operation so it can run well and useful to all people involved.

The Bitcoin system has no one to control, but like the investment products, it can be bought in large quantities and affect the price fluctuations, but I do not think this is the performance of being manipulated.

I am sure of that. Noone can control Bitcoin. Bitcoin is scattered to a million of nodes or computers around the world. To control it you need to go and logon to all that computers, which obviously impossible. Application is different from Bitcoin. Bitcoin is a service that gain it's value in the world because somebody uses that services and believe on how it benefit the user. :)

Bitcoin price is controllable by the big whales. While bit coin is uncontrollable by the whales. Bitcoin system can corntrol actually by those investors who own much numbers of bitcoin. For me this system is like controllable but uncontrollable in reality. Like the limit numbers of supply, limitations of bitcoin in the physical world of system. Bitcoin system can own by one person, can manipulate by one person. Although bitcoin is unpredictable in terms of price that system is clear.

Bitcoin is controlled by its demand and supply through its holders and interested investors,traders. But one more thing that the price fluctuations is due to big whales trading and also due to some bad or fake news.

The whole bitcoin system is not controlled by any organization that's why it's called decentralized too, it only need players as key to play with it, and that's us. Some manage the site for this activity one is our forum which is the bitcointalk.org but they don't control all of the user they merely manage it.

That is the powerful thing about bitcoin, the people control it. However it is worth noting that this can still be gamed, people with large holdings and the large industry players have a great deal of influencer over bitcoin.

Nobody can control the bitcoin because of decentralization it had on its system and No one can put a hand on blockchain network since we are running it. I think bitcoin can control externally by the government, because not every government are really with the side of bitcoin, they cannot control the bitcoin itself but they can make limits on circulation.

no one controls it, bitcoin is only controlled all its users, developers only improve software but can not impose changes in bitcoin protocol

I agree with your point of view. No one can control the bitcoin, it depends a lot on the player psychology. But there will be a strict bitcoin management system on the computer network to ensure the safety of bitcoin participants. Without any form of management, the bitcoin will not last long. In Japan they are very strict about bitcoin.

I do not think that it is controlled.

In fact, it can be said that it is on the global Internet that tens of thousands of computers are connected into a network to form a super server. The role of this server is to record Bitcoin. Because this super server is made up of thousands of computers on the Internet. Therefore, no one can tamper with the data, and no country or agency can manipulate it.

Well from my understanding, nobody can control the bitcoin "ledger" or blockchain. But the system/mining is being maintained and updated by groups. It's open source so anyone can see if it's being maliciously edited or not.

Bitcoin and other decentralized cryptocurrencies are controlled by everyone yet not controlled by anyone. Bitcoin is decentralized and hence, its price cannot be manipulated by any single person or authority, it is owned by people all over the world, therefore it is controlled by the whole community and not by any single person or authority.

The price of bitcoin is determined by supply and demand like any other asset in the world. The more the demand, the more is the price as the supply is limited.

Indeed, as far as I know bitcoin is a decentralize, meaning no one owns or have a control upon it. And that is what make bitcoin best currencies because it is far for being control by government. The only things we could control upon it is the voltality. However, there are times that bitcoin can be controlled by community not a person or authority.

I just love watching a desperate repressive government struggling to control something it cannot.

No one can control Btc as nobody can control the email or the internet. Btc was one of the key innovations of the decade, with the technology behind it being Blockchain

There is difference between the term controlling and manipulation. The price of bitcoin cannot be controlled by anyone, but it can be manipulated by group of people or government or media. Usually we see some sharp gains and sharp drops in the prices of bitcoin and other crypto currencies, that is usually when whale(people that hold handsome amount of crypto)buy or sell their holdings or when a government has announced a ban or legalisation.

Therefore, bitcoin can be manipulated by bigger players in the market, but it can never be controlled and the manipulation too doesn’t lasts long.

Bitcoin is a community based asset therefore the whole community has the control of it's market. Though not literally because no one owns the Bitcoin system as it uses a decentralized blockchain technology. This is actually the best feature Satoshi wants to be used by us who wants financial freedom and believes the technology he created to further protect us from greed.

Bitcoin has a great potential. Blockchain gives an opportunity to carry out financial operations on the world market without restrictions and without intermediaries. It is very worrying the government because they can't control.They are powerless to stop it because I can't keep track of the movement of capital.Therefore, in every possible way they try to restrict financial platforms and strengthen control.But all to no avail.Bitcoin does not belong to anyone.It's just like e-mail or the Internet. It is not controlled by any Bank. And the person who created bitcoin disappeared somewhere. bitcoin has become an open source software. This program can be used by absolutely anyone.All you have to do is follow the rules of this currency.

no one controls bitcoin, because bitcoin does not have a centralized system.
which controls the bitcoin is our, every bitcoin holder is the bitcoin bank itself.

Yeah it is all about the demand of bitcoin and the supply to the investors; people are investing more and more bitcoin to get a powerful business. It is good to see the fluctuation of bitcoin price it use to increase and decease at the time of low price people buy bitcoin and hold but at the time of high price they sell and make business, red market begun just because people get impatient and sell their coin which cause high dump in price, so for me these three factors are effective in bitcoin, price, demand and investors.

Therefore, the name of the true Creator of bitcoin is hidden for complete independence and isolation.

We could consider the supporter of bitcoin as one of the key to moved the price of bitcoin simply because bitcoin price and value is dependent on the support of people given by the number of transactions and investment and how people choose to trade. I think bitcoin is a much more than a currency for most of people so it is a bigger development when it comes to investment and trading for more people who uses bitcoin.

That's why people say that Bitcoin is decentralized as opposed to being centralized which means that its in the control of everyone and no one whiles centralized means that it s in the total control of an individual, an entity or an institution.

Bitcoin system is completely run by the people who use it, this is the reason it is called as decentralized digital currency. But practically  it’s developed and supervised by contributors, miners, big exchanges and traders.

 As no one owns the technology . it is also true  Bitcoins are controlled by all Bitcoin users all over the world. . In order to stay compatible with each other, all users need to use software complying with the same rules.

Online Bitcoin wallet has its advantages over the offline version. You can access it by using not only the PC, but also a tablet or phone. Specificity is similar to conventional Kiwi-wallets, WebMoney or Internet banking.

Bitcoin is controlled by the developers and Miners. I don't think that anyone else controls bitcoins as developers are the ones who develop the bitcoin software and the Miners are one who votes for the acceptance of the software.

do you think is good or not?  btc should not be controlled from anyone i suppose, but i love bitcoint in a good way or bad way.

the bitcoin system is a decentralized virtual Currency, so there is no control or Central bitcoin handling by any of the parties. if someone thinks that the price of bitcoin movement is very unstable due to the deliberate elements of individual parties using a pump or dump in my opinion is not true. the rise and fall of bitcoin price is highly dependent on market demand, if market demand is large, there will surely be some effect of bitcoin price growth movement. some of the factors that cause the current decline in bitcoin prices are the decrease in investor scale caused by many factors, one of which is some negative news which is usually very angular about bitcoin.

Bitcoin is decentralized, which means that no one authority or central authority is in charge of Bitcoin. Bitcoin was created in 2009 by a person using the pseudonym “Nakamoto Satoshi,” but no one knows his true identity. This person or group has no control over Bitcoin.

Bitcoin is controlled by the community. If we say community, we are referring to the developers, miners, traders and to all the people (bitcoin holders) who own a BTC currency.

It is the COMMUNITY that controls the system, or the market to be more specific. And by COMMUNITY I mean us, the users or traders. Without a community, almost anything will seize to exist or function. The value or price of Bitcoin also depends on the activities of the COMMUNITY. No one owns Bitcoin or the cryptocurrency world as a whole. It is an open source in which anyone can engage and be a part of.

We do not know who is managing the bitcoin system. Perhaps most of  the majority leader of bitcoin. They control the dynamic bitcoin price. But our bitcoin , we have control over it. You can trade or invest your bitcoin whenever you want it. You can do anything you want. Only scammers , they're always trying to control and get our bitcoin. So be careful to scam.

Bitcoin was constantly upgrading the system if someone checked it, but Bitcoin is not in the hands of anyone, so nobody knows this, so it is the reason for not investing in Bitcoine, but Bitcoin is given out by Satoshi Nakamato and the man is lost and so what is Bitcoin is not clear.

Some people say that governments could control Bitcoin by regulating it. It is obviously false because Bitcoin is decentralised so it can't be controlled. They can only regulate exchanges and merchants who want to accept BTC. That's ridiculous but we can't do much about it, they are trying to make people more reluctant to cryptocurrencies in general. I really doubt that they will succeed.

Nobody controls it! it is practically said on its whitepaper when bitcoin is being launched on 2009. Even if the real satoshi nakamoto reveal himself in the public he can't control how the bitcoin system goes.

Bitcoin does not belong to anyone. This technology can be used by anyone who follows the rules of this currency.

It is not controlled by any central bank, and the person who first proposed the use of bitcoin for several years does not make itself felt.

Everyone can make sure that this currency does only what it is supposed to do, and its creator no longer controls operations with bitcoins.

Now it is the responsibility of independent developers. That is, bitcoin has become a so-called open source software, which can be downloaded and used for free at your own discretion.

The one word that could describe the system of of bitcoin is Decentralized. Compared to banks and other financial institution which are controlled by the government through its central banks, bitcoin system is based on the investments of capitalists. Its investors are all those maintain the circulation and the supply/demand of the cyptocurrencies.

I think it is being countered by certain people who created just bitkoyin ie followers of Satoshi his students or colleagues

Bitcoin system is controlled by every person that uses it. There is no single person that own the whole system and controls it as he likes because blockchain technology eas created so that no one can control or hack the system. Thats why everyone can see all the transactions made on blockchain and you can track every bitcoin that is mined. No transaction is can be hidden or deleted so that no one can stole bitcoins without being tracked

Nobody controls bitcoin, it is the same with emails although there is a developers who can develop the systems of Bitcoin but they can't change the protocol, only you can control your own bitcoin other than not nobody can control your bitcoin.

Yuph, no one controlled Bitcoin System. Even its creator Satoshi Nakamoto didn't control it. It is a decentralised System and no one can own it. This is somehow similar to Intermet which is FREE to use by anyone and anywhere. Aliens from outer space are the only one capable of owning it I guess.

The only thing that we have control in Bitcoin System is, how we use our Bitcoins. Bitcoin system is just a system that consists of bitcoin (obviously) that's why how we manage our bitcoin is part of this System. People individually who has access to Bitcoin also has control
 BUT, in their own properties only.

Exactly, that's what I'm referring.

Bitcoin have limited supply and not one institution or government can control the supply. Its happen because bitcoin have decentralized system and its can eliminate intermediaries

In my opinion, there is big different between mobile application and bitcoin. Mobile application can be control by their dev but bitcoin no one control even government institution.

I think No one has a Bitcoin network, just as no one has email operation technology. Bitcoin is controlled by all its users worldwide. Developers can indeed improve Bitcoin software, but they can not enforce changes in the Bitcoin protocol because all users are free to choose the software and version they want to use. In order to remain compatible with each other, all users need to use software that follows the same rules. Bitcoin works only when there is full consensus among all users. Thus, all users and developers have a strong incentive to protect this consensus.

that is the function of decentralization, bitcoin is not the product of a company that can be controlled by the center, nobody controls the bitcoin system, so decentralization and anonymization will always be in bitcoin, if many people say that the government could just remove the bitcoin system like decentralization, because government asks the real identity to legalize bitcoin. it does not remove the system from within/inside

If no one can control bitcoin system then simply bitcoin couldn't exist today. Who controls bitcoin system can be the founder of this crypto world.

Yes, I agree . Really no body or institutions can control btc operation because of decentralized blockchain technology used. That is the strong point bitcoin has .All bitcoin users all over world directly operate or work based on general rules and regulations accepted together ( there is a consensus ) son it can run fluently and beneficial to all users.

I agree with your opinion that if the government prohibits or dismisses Bitcoin I think it is very difficult to do, because if you see Bitcoin itself there is no attachment or binding on every member who entered into Bitcoin. If indeed the government wants to block Bitcoin then have to look for Bitcoin server with consideration which is very difficult indeed. it's in my opinion.

theoretically. You can control the bitcoin system if you own more than 50% of the nodes in the bitcoin network. This allows them to identify any transaction. that is too overpriced

I dont know, if we are living in the same planet with all these commentators - but, if you can not see, that the one who owns more bitcoins, can control the market or have the ability to move the market for his benefits, then you are gonna be get more scammed. A 100% decentralization is not possible and is also against the essence of human being.

It is decentralized. Nobody can control it. It has a blockchain that keeps record of every transaction that has been made all over the world. This is the very reason why other countries or government of other countries are not welcoming it because they cannot control or profit from it. They can't tax it either. But due to it's popularity and people and government slowly understanding it's importance and relativity to the present needs of the society in connection to technology some countries are proposing to apply a tax on it so that they will welcome bitcoin to their country. This just means to say that bitcoin is indeed going global.

actually the owner of most btcs, the highest nodes of the network owners and the highest mining farm owners are the one who can change the wind directions of btc

nobody not even revealed by anybody, but i think the market depends on the  investors  because the it appreciate when there are more investors vice versa, contrary we all control bitcoin, hence we are investors.

No one could control bitcoin and the price can't be predicted by anyone. Although the big investors are controlling their investments it could also affect the bitcoin price. You could only control your own bitcoin but to say that who could control bitcoin I don't so.

I think the one who control the bitcoin system is nobody.Cause the bitcoin network no one owns the technology.Bitcoin is controlled by all bitcoin users like us around the world.All users are free.

I think your right no one controlling bitcoin even the bitcoin price, even if i do not know whats all about bitcoin i just think nobody can control it. Its the technology and people uses bitcoin control the value of bitcoin, so no one knows when it increase and decrease, because we dont know whos using it and we dont know how many of the people use it.

Bitcoin is controlled by the community consists of traders, bitcoin holders, investors etc. It is not controlled by any Government or organisation.

agree with this, but still there is a dominant to be able to control the bitcoin of course that have a lot of savings and trade by looking for huge profits.

No one controls bitcoin,to be precise, it is an automatic system that operates at the expense of miners

One advantage of bitcoin is that it is a decentralized system. It is not under the control of one central authority or government central banks. What influences bitcoin is the people using it. So bitcoin community will grow as more people support it. There is really no central control. What we do influences how bitcoin develops.

Nobody control the Bitcoin system it was purely the users which is us during our transactions that is why the US Pentagon is studying the capability of the blockchain because it has unique system in which its very difficult to manipulate but anyone can control the Bitcoin price specially by the big whales in which they could manipulate the Bitcoin price anytime they want.

It can range from a single home heating controller using a thermostat controlling boiler to large industrial control system that are used for controlling processes.

We are the bitcoin lover holder who controld bitcoin. Without us i dont know if bitcoin will still function today.

Technically it’s controlled by the community. What is the community?

Consists of miners / traders / those who hold currency
Bitcoin miners: These people have bought the hardware / pay for the electricity to make the transactions and the network “function”.
Bitcoin traders: Large stake holders who move the markets in certain ways by altering liquidity.
Bitcoin holders: Those who are not necessarily in the “trading” realm, but have been buying and holding the currency (thus removing tokens from circulation / the ecosystem)

The traders and miners controls it the traders gives Bitcoin price and miners give blocks for blockchain to confirms all the transactions.

there is. and it's controlled by all users. and organized by the internet neatly.

              Technically speaking Bitcoin is controlled by the community itself it consist of traders, miners,developers and Bitcoin holders.Bitcoin is the first digital currency and it is a decentralized currency no intermediaries are involved in it the holders themselves control the Bitcoin there is no governing body it is run by the people who use it. Bitcoin miners have some certain level of control without Bitcoin miners Bitcoin would be ineffective. the transaction of Bitcoin is distributed by an open network .

No institution, group or person can control the bitcoin system. we can only control the price, so the user only contributes in determining the market price through demand and supply.

Everybody says that nobody controls bitcoin but for me there's one person or one group who controls it but no one knows who it was that is way they say that nobody controls it. If nobody controls it who launch the system? Who is in charge in the maintenance of the system? Where is the server of this system? Who paid for it for web hosting? Is it launch in the air and then everybody used it? No one knows but it has, it ALWAYS HAS. No system or program runs by its own. How about if it crash? Who manage it? Who made the updates? That's the sign you have to keep it in your mind.

there is no control over bitcoin and the only one controls it is the dev and the owner of bitcoin we do not know how to recover the bitcoin but we just hold it

Your first statement is correct but your second statement is wrong. Bitcoin is unlike any other technology because it utilizes the blockchain. With blockchain, smart contracts can be done when process of transaction occurs. This adds security to both the buyer and the seller.

Though Bitcoin is decentralize, I believe that it is controlled by some developers, it is impossible to a technology to be created without a people behind it. Like it was created by a person it was also controlled by a person but the major controller of bitcoin is the community of btc.

Actually everybody controls the bitcoin network. There are just people (whales) who possess a big amount of bitcoin who can literally move the market. They try and move wallstreet trading and sometimes succeed how much more in  bitcoin. There no regulations and no one would know and no one would arrest you for dumping and crashing the market

Bitcoin network is a decentralized network and so no governing body or any banking system does not have control over the bitcoin system, as the bitcoin system is a peer to peer online networking system there is no central authority to control them and all the transactions are recorded in the public ledger called the block chain system. As no one has  control over the bitcoin system no one will be able to stop the bitcoin system, so even if some government's have banned the use of bitcoins, the bitcoin transactions can be carried out through wallets and exchanges all over the world and can be converted to fiat currencies.

Bitcoin is decentralized system no one control it. But miners work for to do the transactions of btc

Even though the core idea behind the bitcoin was decentralization there are certain people or groups of people that have tools to manipulate and dictate market directions. For example the Great Satoshi Nakamoto owns the biggest amount of Bitcoins which makes him/her/them the richest crypto owner(s) in the world. Moreover, such crypto fortune lets make decisions that result in certain market events. Could be decline or growth, whichever is favorable at certain point and moment.

Which system?
The BTC security system is only offered by the purse provider. and exchange systems offered by those who have a market.
But for a price change system for every penny and every second, I think we all get involved in it.

It can be controlled by all the users and investors. Its price is proportional to the investors and users who hold and sell their bitcoin. They can controlled it by making some bad news or fake news about bitcoin, so that all weak investors will sell their bitcoin and will lead to decrease in price. And if price falls some investors can now buy more bitcoin and then they will wait untill its price increase again. It will rise again for sure because the decrease price will also lead to attract some investors to buy.

no one can control the bitcoin system. including bitcoin prices, no one can control it.

Bitcoin is being control by it's users.No institution can control it and that's why some country ban bitcoin.

Nobody. The reason why bitcoin is facing tough times with the economies of the world today is majorly because the nations of the world knows that they do not have grip or hold of the cryptocurrency. But the truth is whether they accept it or not, cryptocurrencies is changing the face of businesses around the world and technology is helping it and moreso, people are really moving with the trend.

No one controls it. That's the reason it is a decentralized currency. Nobody has control over bitcoin and what happens to it.

Technically it’s controlled by the community. What is the community? Consists of developers / miners / traders / those who hold currency

Nobody. Remember bitcoin is decentralized, which means nobody or no one controls it. Even the Central Bank or even unique banks of different countries. Thus if pertaining to control of price, bitcoin's price vary and follow the law of demand and supply which normally in all honesty, whales are on control of price.

I as a participant in the bitcoin network is very interested in the fact that technology has accepted his destiny and worked in the field for which they were invented. but bitmain and created a bunch of mining rigs ASIC. now they can let go of the reins and drop the complexity of calculations. but they will not do it, but only with great zeal drag on 51% of the voting rights. who's trying to prevent this?

No one controls it directly, however you can use game theory concepts to try to attack the network and benefit. Hacken has conducted a research recently https://hacken.io/wp-content/uploads/The-Rush-for-Hashpower.pdf

Being an online system its working is purely technical and you are right that a community consisting of miners,traders,developers,etc. control it but its working is very difficult to understand for some people.

Bitcoin depends on our demand and supply, it can always exist and it can not be canceled any more, but the most important thing is manipulation by the government and whales. On this all is under construction

Nothing controls the bitcoin network because it is not centered but the decentralization of computer networks so all transactions will be processed through blockchain technology. With its decentralized nature it also benefits the bitcoin where hackers can not break into bitcoins.

No one has a network to control Bitcoin, just as no one has email operation technology. Bitcoin is controlled by all its users worldwide. Developers can indeed improve Bitcoin software, but they can not enforce changes in the Bitcoin protocol

Yes you are right about that, bitcoin transactions are made of blockchain and because of that algorithm, no one can really change the way how the program is being created since it was complicated as well and it is the reason why cryptocurrency is secured.

No one can control the bitcoin, it's a special place and the reason bitcoin has been around for 10 years, with bitcoins all the same and no one decides what the bitcoin will be.

Nobody owns Bitcoin but bitcoin can be controlled. I am not saying that it is easy to control but if you think about it, the price of bitcoin is based on the demand and supply. If all the users of bitcoin united, they can make the price move the way they want it.

Bitcoin represents the core ideology of democracy so in that sense every user controls Bitcoin through his actions. We have miners to confirm transactions on behalf of us and we as a user pay them their fees with every transaction so they are not the owners of the system but the service providers. As we all know that Bitcoin is based on a block chain technology which relies on decentralization principle, there is no central controlling governing authority in case of Bitcoin.

Bitcoin for me is not  control by anyone it's consists of traders, miners, developers in the community which means people are involved in the BTC. All is need how to manage the standard based on the demand and supply.

I think transparency on Bitcoin means trust is not required for the system to work. There is no government from anywhere involved and no one entity controls so we are the one who controls itBTC

Bitcoin is a decentralized cryptocurrency so nobody can control it. It's probably be the secret of its success, who knows?

bitcoin is not control by someone, but it natural itself and bitcoin is depend on the people, bitcoin has price amzing like this because there are so many using bitocin in this time, and people like that because it decentralized behaviour

Bitcoin is controlled by all its users almost all over the world almost because its decentralized system means that no one has to stay compatible with each other those who use bitcoin who can control this all.

Mobile application is totally different form bitcoin as we can use mobile application just to contact other people but we use bitcoin to make future, today nothing is better than bitcoin, bitcoin is independent currency it is out of control nothing can ever control bitcoin,, our government is reserved about bitcoin but in some places bitcoin is announced as legal currency, it is worldwide using currency today only because people are aware about bitcoin that there is no limit for bitcoin profit, so I like bitcoin because we are free it has given us freedom but only marker demand and supply makes it rise and fall.

Who control the bitcoin system, bitcoin is not control by someone, but it natural itself  and controlled by all its users almost all over the world. As we all know that Bitcoin is based on a block chain technology which relies on decentralization principle. And that all i know

You might say that nobody can control the system, but you are wrong, just because it's decentralized doesn't mean that certain parties don't have a significant amount of control over it;

1. Mining pools, some of them are close to >51% of the network hash rate
2. Media outlets, their opinion and press can often crash the market
3. Governments and corporations. Even if they don't have direct control, their actions can drastically affect crypto value.

Nobody owns the Bitcoin network, just as no one owns the technology behind the e-mail. Bitcoin is controlled by the bitco-users of the whole world. Although developers improve the software, they can not forcefully change the protocol, because users are free to choose which software and what version to use. In order to be compatible, all users must use software that obeys the same rules. Bitcoin can work correctly only with full agreement between all users. Therefore, all users and developers, if the incentive to protect this consensus.

Nobody owns Bitcoin or the system in which it functions. It is the community that dictates the movement and value of Bitcoin. The activities that are being made have direct impact into the value or price of any cryptocurrency as a whole.

You may ask, who or what is the community? The community is composed of the users, traders, investors, project creators, bounty participants, etc...In short, the community is us! We make the impact. We control the system and the market.

Their are godfathers of bitcoin ecosystem who can manipulate it the way they like. After all someone created it in the first place, Not God. So someone is also there changing and manipulating it the way it suites them. It's a company after all. Its been governed by a certain group of people.

Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency is decentralized, no one control it.
Government may have a regulations about it, but they cannot fully control bitcoin.

I think, no one can control the Bitcoin system. Its a personal system. The user can only control the Bitcoin she/he is folding.

Nobody control the Bitcoin system but I know there are groups who maintain the system like in our forum, everyone can join in and no one can stop them, Moderators can influence the flow of the system but in accordance to rules and guidelines not by the way they just want it.

I think no one can control BITCOIN, even if there is a decrease and increase in price it all happens because of the volume of transactions buying and selling

can be said the same for some people, but I have more views than that. I'm sure bitcoin until now is still the best in the network of digital currency.

In your opinion. Which is system?
Bitcoin security system is offered by the purse providers, exchange systems are offered by those who have a market.
But for a price change system for every penny and every second, I think we get involved in it.

Hello Spammers..
I do not know until when people like you no longer meet this forum with junk posts. I am only concerned about your situation like this. I hope you realize it before you get rid of it.

literarily nobody has control over other peoples bitcoin but the price of bitcoin can be influenced by people that hold the highest percentage of the coin in their wallet so technically they have control over the price but they don't have control over the activities of other holders of the bitcoin. the same thing applies to altcoin as well. major coin holder can control the price and that is what caused pump and dump of the coin some time because the price has been influenced

Bitcoin is controlled by all its users worldwide. Developers can indeed improve Bitcoin software, but they can not enforce changes in the Bitcoin protocol because all users are free to choose the software and version they want to use. In order to remain compatible with each other, all users need to use the following software

One of the common concerns of other people here is the bitcoin system because the most questions is the person who's manipulating the bitcoin. Experts keep on saying that it is anonymous but the scary thing that other think is that what will happen if there will be a corrupted at the protocol level. Indeed, it is programmed, but as far as I know it is anonymous.

Nobody controls Bitcoin system. It runs on the Blockchain Technology.

Bitcoin and blockchain is being introduced as a decentralized system that everyone holds their own ledger so it means it doesn't need a third party like bank. So its impossible that anyone can control it thats why many country are making a regulations on how and where to use bitcoin and altcoins.

   Miners control bitcoin. Yes, they compete each with other and noone has monopoly, anyway they may collaborate theoreticly. They decide which transaction will be include to next block, so we all depend from them. They also keep 1mb block size because they want to get high fees

Technology and the bitcoin system is decentralized. But I do not rule out the fact that digital currencies can be managed by someone.

In some technical way the devs do have some control of it via a consensus that's why bitcoin in the past was able to be forked but if you mean a person having the power to hit the on/off switch I think the control lies within the decentralised computers scattered all around the world with no stop or start button and you can not compare btc to an app thats wrong!! Apps are easy to hack as compared to bitcoin which is a complex unhackable technology.

Bitcoin does not belong to anyone. This technology can be used by anyone who follows the rules of this currency.
It is not controlled by any central bank, and the person who first proposed the use of bitcoin for several years does not make itself felt.
Everyone can make sure that this currency does only what it is supposed to do, and its creator no longer controls operations with bitcoins.
Now it is the responsibility of independent developers. That is, bitcoin has become a so-called open source software, which can be downloaded and used for free at your own discretion.

I think market control bitcoin. because of decentralized system attached on bitcoin, its volatility proves that market puts its hand on bitcoin. Miners and traders are players that take profit from the volatility of bitcoin.

Noone controls Bitcoin system at all because it was built by the blockchain system and there are only blocks in this system not controller.
The only thing you can control in Bitcoin is the price which is very insane in every moments. Sometimes it was dump and sometimes it was pump but invest in it will be profit all the time.

Not only markets, i think the news controls Bitcoin also, if they just release some bad news about Bitcoin like Bitcoin was banned in somewhere than the price will be dropped insane.
The market will be a mess if there is a crazy news also.

Bitcoin is controlled by everyone who has Bitcoin. All market demand is because we are trading Bitcoin. And by trading, we've helped keep the cycle of the crypto market. As much as possible and as long as we are still trading Bitcoin and Altcoin, that is the price of a given coin.

To me the bitcoin is controlled by all of its users partly around the world because the system is transparently decentralized that nobody should remain compatible with each other using bitcoins that can control this all. 8)

We are not only the people we control the bitcoin as you said before.. it's a conversation which have written over the years..but personally i think only a piece of Strong people, own and control its power..

Bitcoin is not controlled by a single person, that's why it is decentralized. Now, when we talk about decentralization of bitcoin a lot of us are thinking that bitcoin isn't originating from a single country, which is true however, partly incorrect. Bitcoin does not come from any single country and moreover, isn't controlled by a single entity. So we could say that we, the investors abd enthusiasts, are the one thst controls the tides of bitcoin's fate.

The special case who can control bitcoin is its clients. the engineers just encourage to give virtual wallet administrations to bitcoin clients without having the capacity to change the framework actualized by bitcoin with blockchain innovation. With it, unadulterated bitcoin is controlled by every one of its clients so the cost likewise relies upon the deal and buy exercises in different bitcoin commercial center and value vacillations through the concurrence with the clients. In any case, the one of a kind component of this innovation is that bitcoin exchanges are affirmed by mineworkers and recorded on every single associated server around the globe.

In my opinion that it's decentalised and therefore isn't controlled by anyone,but then there are obviously patterns in its behaviour that it is following.That means that there's stuff that affects it and goes into it.

Of course many bitcoin schemes are one can be an influence in market prices. besides the demand from the market itself that makes it down or up. so far I think it's someone who can control the price. people who have enough money

Technology blokchain does not belong to anyone, in fact is its advantage, the network is decentralized. Another question is the price of bitcoin and who influences it.

The idea of bitcoin is based on the ethereum blockchain technology. The blockchain technology deals with decentralisation and not centralisation so no one person controls the bitcoin system.This makes transactions and data storage on the blockchain technology easy and safer.

The transactions are made by an algorithm called block chain and in order for the bitcoins to grow its value then it will be still depending on the people who are going to invest on it if they will prefer bitcoins or they will rather choose another cryptocurrency.

It's very difficult to say that someone controls bitcoin, it's still a blockchain technology and difficult to track, if possible at all. If you say so, then a coin owner can control it himself.

No one controlled bitcoin system because we all know that bitcoin is a decentralized cryptocurrency which means no one is controlling it yet the control of it is the hand of the one who are using it. Now, many people are into bitcoin making it more good in terms earnings and the value of it are affected through the numbers of users who are rapidly increasing so the true one who is controlling bitcoin is us, the users.

yes nobody is controlling the bitcoin system of bitcoin network. Bitcoin is being controlled by  all bitcoin users around the world. And also bitcoin users are free to chose what software they will going to use. so no one can contoll it not the government and not the bank.

In fact, no one controls bitcoin. That made it unique, so its price is on the moon. It was created by a person in Japan with the desire to become a better banking software. He felt disgusted with the bank's banking system and their poor security, so it came up with the idea of creating bitcoins.

Bitcoin can be controlled if you are the creator of it and hold the source code of the technology. But do not worry about this because the bitcoin dev is a secret, no one knows who they are. The identity of the Bitcoin creator is unknown.

Bitcoin can not be controlled by anyone by each of us. Probably because bitcoin is peer to peer or all bitcoin users are in control of their own money. Different if we save money in the Bank. All customer's money is controlled by the Bank.

it is the principle of a decentralized product ...

Yes I agree with you ,no one can controlled on bitcoin it was based on blockchain technology that has a big difference than centralized bank. This site was developed with anonymous persons ,we can have a great opportunities here to gain moneys, it was very unique investment because no one knows about your background but so much risky in the world because it can use by the terrorism transactions but I believe that it will not happened.

Pure system goes with the miners in charge of processing bitcoin transactions, I think bitcoin transactions are fitting because transparent so no need to worry

Bitcoin isn't controlled by a solitary individual, that is the reason it is decentralized. Presently, when we discuss decentralization of bitcoin a considerable measure of us are imagining that bitcoin isn't beginning from a solitary nation, which is valid notwithstanding, incompletely erroneous. Bitcoin does not originate from any single nation and in addition, isn't controlled by a solitary substance. So we could state that we, the financial specialists abd fans, are the one thst controls the tides of bitcoin's destiny.

Nothing controls the Bitcoin network, Bitcoin is controlled by all its users around the world. Developers can indeed improve Bitcoin software, but they can not enforce changes in the Bitcoin protocol because all users are free to choose the software and version they want to use. In order to remain compatible with each other, all users need to use software that follows the same rules. Bitcoin works only when there is full consensus among all users. Thus, all users and developers have a strong incentive to protect this consensus.

Nobody can control bitcoin system because it fully depends on the demand of bitcoin in the crypto market. Each and every purchase of bitcoin by the bitcoiner make an impact on increase in demand of bitcoin and each and every sails of bitcoin by the bitcoiner make a fall in demand.And the fake news and negative news like banning of bitcoin can make an impact on bitcoin demand.

As far as i know no one controls the bitcoin system. Thats why banks and government try to ban it because they cannot control it.

nobody controls bitcoin.
I'm afraid to will be imagine what would have happened, when Satoshi Nakamuto appeared. it's something totally unpredictable and incredible. but I think the price of bitcoin will grow

it can be said that about 80% of total Bitcoin transactions are currently traded using Chinese Yuan. From the end of 2013, China, using tactical strategy, began to maintain nearly 50% of all Bitcoin transactions worldwide. Basically, Bitcoin is primarily designed to be the most important financial part of the future era and today, China can certainly be considered a bitcoin system controller for the future.

The end-user. Bitcoin works in a way such that the responsibility of making decisions and rules are shifted to the user only. By consensus, no one can force a rule change without a majority support from the community. Everyone is free to run forks of Bitcoin but they can't have anyone to run their client and follow their set of rules.

Arguably, mining has really destroyed the decentralised aspect of Bitcoin. With the monopolistic mining industry, it's pretty hard to say that the power lies solely with the user.

As far as I know to my best knowledge, Nothing controls the Bitcoin network, Bitcoin is controlled by its faithful users around the world because it fully depends on the demand of bitcoin in the crypto market. Bitcoin isn't controlled by an individual or a particular nation , that is the reason why it is decentralized.
The transactions are made by blockchain algorithm, in order for bitcoin to increase in value, it depends on the investors if they prefer bitcoins or they will rather go for another cryptocurrency.

I don't think it's possible for someone to control the bitcoin system. It is controlled by all of us. Bitcoin is decentralized and has a lot of users. They are all over the world, and they control the currency together.

I somewhat agree with you. My theory is somebody made this app, program, system or whatever it is called, just like in an online game, with its own currency, a player can earn an amount of it through playing. The maker of the bitcoin system uses the same principle. The difference is that he or they (if they are a group) set the supply and connects it to the internet so that whenever a miner or anybody else that uses bitcoin, interact and make transactions, the supply will change depending on the type of transaction made. But this is just a speculation, I don't really know what is really happening inside the system, all I know is that bitcoin is existing through the internet. 

Well, to me in particular if you ask me i will say bitcoin is control by no body accept the person managing the the wallet address that the bitcoin is send to for the fact you have the private key to that particular wallet were the the bitcoin is going without releasing the key to anybody for that period you been the holder of the key is in control of the system.

As a decentralized system by design, it can be difficult to see where the real power lies in Bitcoin. There are a number of different players in the ecosystem (e.g. miners, hodlers, exchanges, developers).

The ecosystem of users/holders should be controlling bitcoin or any other coin. The purpose of crypto coins would be defeated if anonymity and decentralization fails. Anonymity..inorder to preserve our natural sense of humanity and freedom (bigbrother issue) and decentralisation..inorder to prevent unnatural or biased control of coin ecosystem.
Tis interesting to see the continuous battle for freedom as seen with battle between monero and asic for example.

I think no one can control the bitcoin system. But there will be people who can adjust the wave of bitcoin. If a person is in a lot of bitcoin, they want the bitcoin price to go down, they just need to sell all the bitcoin they have, will the bitcoin price go down?

There is no authority or an individual that controls Bitcoin. It could be said that Bitcoin is controlled by community. Community includes all the users, developers, miners, etc. No one can individually enforce a change in Bitcoin. But a group of people who hold a great amount of Bitcoins together can do so by agreeing with each other. In addition to this, government regulation, innovations in technology and its acceptance rate can also influence the Bitcoin system.

I don't think anyone can control the bitcoin network. It is controlled by all the bitcoins. bitcoin is scattered, no one can control the price of the bitcoin , it is all the bitcoin holders search control, some developers can only do some of the extra service for bitcoin

The beauty of BTC is that it is decentralized and distributed, which means it is not controlled by a single entity like fist currency is controlled by central governments. All BTC community members are rightful owners of BTC. Having so many owners make BTC free from any sort of manipulations.
So we can say BTC is controlled by no one.

It is very different than a mobile app or anything you mentioned above. Here's a link for beginners on how to understand the technology
Actually, there's ton of information out there for you ponder.

https://blockgeeks.com/guides/what-is-blockchain-technology/

 

Bitcoin has no governing body. It is completely run by the people who use it. Bitcoin miners have a certain level of control over the way the system is runned.

It would be unjust to say that the real value to Bitcoins come from their community especially from it's users who literally use Bitcoin for medium of exchange than the store of value.All others all milking that glory of Bitcoins for their own convenience.

Is this true?

I hear about checkpoint key and an alert key for the first time and there is nothing to find on the internet.

If somebody can explain this I will be appreciated.

As far as I know no one controlling the bitcoin system because all of the users the one who controls bitcoin, we are the one who controls the price, and bitcoin is made for everyone. But we don't know who are behind of this great technology.

As a decentralized system by design, it can be difficult to see where the real power lies in Bitcoin. There are a number of different players in the ecosystem (e.g. miners, hodlers, exchanges, developers), but one entity has more power than the others in terms of what types of protocol improvements will be made.
the hodlers have the biggest impact on the bitcoin price due to the effect they have on the supply of available Bitcoin. Taking this point further, they also have the largest amount of power in terms of what types of improvements are made to the Bitcoin protocol because everyone in the system is incentivized to make the native tokens on the platform as valuable as possible.

Yes, that is exactly what Kyle Torpey say in his contribution in Forbes.com and that is really possible that miners, hodlers, exchanges and developers are the one who have a big factors
affecting bitcoin prices, because hodlers can hold bitcoin that affects the circulation of bitcoin and i think exchanges is the biggest factors among the four reason stated above, the volatility of bitcoin price totally reflect on exchanges since that is where traders buy and sell their coin and the effect is the changes of supply and demand.

It's controlled by ourselves

I agree with you. Although we feel that bitcoin is controlled by somebody but the truth is we are the one who control bitcoin. The user or we say investor is the one who can manipulate prices and can control its trend.

Who control the bitcoin system? It is a global market controlled by the users and  that is really possible that miners, hodlers, exchanges and developers are the one who have a big factors. But a group of people who hold a great amount of Bitcoins together can do so by agreeing with each other and  Bitcoin is decentralized and has a lot of users.

Yes, Bitcoin is operated by all its users. But there are users in the Bitcoin community who can manipulate its operation by many reasons. Therefore, though decentralized Bitcoin is at least theoretically under control.

basically the bitcoin server is what regulates everything about the process of bitcoin system performance, and not necessarily the system is only a part of life for humans.

The Bitcoin system in part is controlled by an elite group and also in part by the masses who contribute to the pool of those who own the bitcoin..... How this is controlled by the elite is clear that when the whales begin to dump their coins, the price of the coin falls and how fast they are dumping will define the price of bitcoin at the time. Not so with the Masses..... Their little bitcoins here and there when sold AT DIFFERENT TIMES will not have any major impact on the market price....... Except there's a FUD and then everyone is selling......

Technically, there is no sole controller of the bitcoin system. It is controlled by ever user or owner of bitcoins. Every PC, mobile phone, or any device connected to the internet that can handle an electronic ledger ia technically a member of the blockchain which is conteolled by everyone.

its controlled by the investors that invest in btc if no one invest in btc the system it self will continue to grow? those people who believe in btc at the beginning there are people who introduced bitcoin to us so we investors or all can controlled it.

the bitcoin system is a decentralized virtual Currency, so there is no control or Central bitcoin handling by any of the parties. if someone thinks that the price of bitcoin movement is very unstable due to the deliberate elements of individual parties using a pump or dump in my opinion is not true. the rise and fall of bitcoin price is highly dependent on market demand, if market demand is large, there will surely be some effect of bitcoin price growth movement. some of the factors that cause the current decline in bitcoin prices are the decrease in investor scale caused by many factors, one of which is some negative news which is usually very angular about bitcoin

Of course everyone who uses bitcoin are the ones who can control bitcoin and absolutely with blockchain technology. As long as there is internet people can send or receive bitcoin with the help of blockchain. The price of bitcoin is also controlled by people who have limited supply and high demand then the created of different prices following the world market.

That makes sense. Definitely there is no one who is controlling bitcoins. They are decentralized and this means that this whole system is based on peer to peer module. No one is authorized to cater for bitcoins. Rather everyone is responsible for his own bitcoins and they are being monitored and managed in miners. Highfi security and safety are the impressive aspects of bitcoins.

Bitcoin no body governing it is run by people who use it. Bitcoin miners have a certain degree of control without miners Bitcoin will not be effective. Bitcoin transactions are distributed by open networks. And technically Bitcoin is controlled by the community itself consisting of traders, miners, developers and holders of Bitcoin

As we know that Bitcoin is based on block chain technology that depends on the principle of decentralization. And that's what I know Who controls the bitcoin system, bitcoin is not controlled by a person, but is itself and controlled by all its users almost all over the world

This is an interesting question mate. No one controls bitcoin system/network for sure. It is made so that people can have freedom from those greedy government people that wants to get profit form us. Thus, making bitcoin makes revolutionary action against them. By the way I love this kind of topic. Thanks.

I think bitcoin will have no control. Bitcoin is programmed to operate and secure against thieves. Managers can only upgrade the bitcoin system, but can not control it.

i guess nobody can control the bitcoin system neither owns it...because it is much more like internet and other application systems... so nobody controls the technology on their own......

No one can control bitcoin. This is a decentralized currency. There are countries that impose restrictions on trade, but for a long time it will not last. The price in any case will grow due to the fact that bitcoin has a limit.

indeed no bitcoin controls it but there are countries that can set the market / trading system bitcoin. for example the US and China because most of the bitcoin discoveries come from that country.

Since Bitcoin is a decentralized system so that no one can control this system so far I know. Only the shareholders are the decision maker on this platform. besides this issue, Bitcoin could be controlled by the miners, developers, and some big fishes.
From my perspective, Bitcoin, and blockchain system is a miracle because no one has any idea who is dealing with Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency systems. It's really a fantastic platform for those people who could hide from the authority and don't want to be focus light. and this is the main problem for the government because they don't have any information about their people involved in this platform.

It's a network wherein all users has control on how it works.

Nobody owns the Bitcoin network much like no one owns the technology behind email. Bitcoin is controlled by all Bitcoin users around the world. While developers are improving the software, they can't force a change in the Bitcoin protocol because all users are free to choose what software and version they use. In order to stay compatible with each other, all users need to use software complying with the same rules. Bitcoin can only work correctly with a complete consensus among all users. Therefore, all users and developers have a strong incentive to protect this consensus.

Sir, no one really controls Bitcoin. That's why it's called decentralized. The consensus dictates its path. Miners, nodes, traders all affect the Bitcoin ecosystem and the people's actions are the ones responsible for whatever happens.

All of us are good at protecting the bitcoin system, bat anyone who intends to cheat in the transaction can not do it, both holding and very clear, in the transaction.

I think there is satoshi and bitcoin team who doing some code and other things, but in terms of price only market can decide where we will go.

I can't agree with you guys about Bitcoin and their decentralized and there are some reasons why
First of all now 4 or 5 companies that build equipment for mining like Nvidia, AMD , Bitmain. And If I'm not mistaken Bitmain that build ASIC controls 20-25% persents of all market so Bitcoin is not decentralized at all. We all know the winners here . Just looks and the stock price on Nvidia now and before 2015 and you'll be surprised.
The second one https://bitinfocharts.com/top-100-richest-bitcoin-addresses.html
It's a 100 top richiest Bitcoin walllets and you see that 0.68 % of all wallets controls 87 % of all Bitcoin!!! and 3.21% of all wallets controls 95.95% of all coins! TIt means that I guess 10 000 or some people control 95% of all coins here I don't think that this is real decentralization

No controls bitcoin. Bitcoin prides itself on having no administering body. It is totally keep running by the general population who utilize it. In any case, numerous individuals ponder who really has control of Bitcoin. There are a few frameworks that are key to keeping Bitcoin running legitimately. Its blockchain innovation isn't computerized, as a few people accept, rather it depends on the diligent work of excavators to prop it up.

Anything that is decentralised is controlled by its users!

that being said we control bitcoin but NOT fully because external influences such as regulations, bad press, FUD etc do affect its price because crytpo is now based on these.

Seem interesting. I still don't know who is satoshi, How he made BTC, and who controls the Bitcoin. Bitcoin it's truly anonym. No one know. but we still believe in bitcoin and there has never been a case of loss due to bitcoin. I think we can still trust BTC no matter we don't know the history about BTC.

Bitcoin is well-known for its decentralized system, thus no one can control it . It is participated by so many people all over world . In another word ,it covers many exchanges between people of many other countries ,they can get benefit from this system . Maybe the price fluctuation depends on the demand. This platform is great, it doesn’t distinguish anyone, no matter what or where you are, you completely have chance to use it to get benefits.

Bitcoin operates on decentralized blockchain technology used. Bitcoin is limited in supply, no formal institutional issuer, no formal authority to be responsible and no formal regulation issued and accepted by government.It only is controlled by all users involved in it.

agree mate, the one who can control bitcoin is all users. maybe big investor can affected demand but it is temporary, I think no one can be controll bitcoin, only supply and demand affect bitcoin.it is my opinion.

Those who have large amount of bitcoin can manipulate its price but can't fully control it. Even if its decentralized and the people who holds bitcoins are the one controling it and its price.

In fact, no one controls bitcoin. That made it unique, so its price is on the moon. It was created by a person in Japan with the desire to become a better banking software. He felt disgusted with the bank's banking system and their poor security, so it came up with the idea of creating bitcoins.

Not necessarily "all" but rather a certain percentage, maybe 90% (I'm not quiet sure). This is what you called decentralized. This is a good thing since there is no central authority really to decide by itself to which path will BTC go. It needs to tell others and make them agree that this path will be where BTC is going.

Bitcoin's digital currency is known for being beyond the control of developers, any companies, or government institutions. Thanks to this feature, Bitcoin became famous. Of course, this is not the only factor that influenced the active growth of the market capitalization of the digital currency, but the ability to send and receive money transfers bypassing the banking sector played an important role in the development of Bitcoin as a reliable payment instrument.
By the way, most crypto-currencies are also beyond the control of even their creators. However, this does not mean that the P2P payment system is absolutely uncontrolled, there must be tools that regulate the basic processes of network interaction with the participants.
There is an opinion that the developers of the company Bitcoin Foundation, which is currently the official provider Bitcoin-network, have more opportunities to influence the system. In fact, it is nothing more than a delusion. There are only two groups of users who can indirectly control the Bitcoin system:
• Ordinary Internet users who work with digital money.
• Miners engaged in the production of Bitcoins.
No one else can affect the Bitcoin system in any way. Developers act as providers.

which drives Bitcoin are Mining, trading, and Bounty in Bitcoin (we are all Bitcoiner) because Bitcoin is driven by all of us so bitcoin is called a decentralized coin or open source.

Legislators do not have time for all the changes. They, of course, will have to come up with new laws, because the old schemes of financial control for bitcoins are simply not calculated, because the crypto currency is beyond traditional currency instruments.
But the process of adaptation, of course, will take a lot of time, and in the process it may turn out that it was necessary to manage the electronic currency in a different way.
So all attempts of regulators to subordinate bitcoin to themselves can lead to nothing. Therefore it seems to me that it is not so easy to control this currency.

Bitcoin is controlled by all its users worldwide. Developers can indeed improve Bitcoin software, but they can not enforce changes in the Bitcoin protocol because all users are free to choose the software and version they want to use. In order to remain compatible with each other, all users need to use software that follows the same rules. Bitcoin is controlled by 80% consensus of the miners.

yes, it's true.bitcoin is controlled by all of us. in my opinion

Ideally there is a claim that controls Bitcoin, it has developers who update and improve the operating system in an effort to make it more efficient. Bitcoin gives them the power to manipulate the price, they can easily change the price if they want to. With Blockchain technology, pure Bitcoin is controlled by all its users so the price also depends on buying and selling activities in bitcoin markets instead.

I think that the OP must understand the true concept and the basic knowledge of Bitcoin and crypto world. For what I heard and I what I read from the OP post, I think the OP clearly does not understand the basic system of Bitcoin. The purpose of the Bitcoin creation is that no one can control Bitcoin including government. So people can use Bitcoin as they like to do transaction and create their own freedom of financial. That is the unique and the dangerous thing about Bitcoin. It can be use for anything and the price can change at anytime.

bitcoin is controlled by its users
but to deepen it, bitcoin is controlled by people who have greater share of bitcoin
just like in stock bonding, stockholders who have a large amount share in the company are mostly the people who controls it or the decision is theirs
but technically speaking, developers control bitcoin in a way

no one controls it, bitcoin is only controlled all its users, developers only improve software but can not impose changes in bitcoin protocol

You are right about that no own the bitcoin system but you are wrong with nobody can control it. Bitcoin can be controlled and the controllers are the user of it. So how do we know if how bitcoin systems works? It is a decentralized system that no one can control it even the government. But in terms of its price, bitcoin can be controlled. A lot of people who earns a lot in bitcoin or should I say those wealthy person, sometimes they manipulated the bitcoin price so they will get benefit of it.

While I agree that because bitcoin is decentralized no single party has complete control over the system, however I believe the miners and many of the large crypto whales can have a huge amount of impact on the price and therefore often hashing power.

Bitcoin doesn't control by any one, bitcoin itself invented by using decentralization system. Thus meaning that no one can solely control bitcoin system and more over with bitcoin's unique technique which is Blockchain, it help to register every single transaction without control by anyone, thus bitcoin is not control by anyone.

The bitcoin system is controlled by the block chain technology very efficiently.and its features are attractive to the global business people and the rich investors through out the world. So bitcoin is acquired wide  popularity around the world and it can be used for the day to day requirement of human being such as for the  usage of domestic bill payment shopping and the international shopping from any where to any thing. Now bitcoin is getting familiarize to all levels of people for their requirement.

pure bitcoin is controlled by all its users so the price also depends on buying and selling activity in bitcoin markets and fluctuations, price through agreement with the user. But the unique feature of this technology is that bitcoin transactions are confirmed by miners and recorded on all connected servers around the world.

According to my own understanding, BTC is owned by global users to control, no one can be forced to change the BTC agreement, because all users around the world have the freedom to choose what they want to use the software, so this is the advantage of the BTC, is also gradually acknowledged that BTC status.

Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency based on an open-source software. no one is controlling bitcoin. It’s fully decentralised. But practically it’s developed and supervised by contributors, miners, big exchanges and traders.

I don't think that there is someone who controls the bitcoin system because bitcoin is decentralized so nobody owns bitcoin and nobody has the power to control it so i think that bitcoin is just relying on the community and also from the people who uses it and buy and sell it on the market so bitcoin is just neutral and there is nothing to worry like being manipulated.

We All control BTC protocol and WE all Are under the control of everybody.

Nobody control bitcoin because it is decentralize program and no one can manipulate it.


I agree with you.


Right bitcoin is an open - source software and nobody can control because of decentralized program of it.

According on bitcoin's history, No single institution controls the bitcoin network. It is maintaned by a group volunteer coders and run by an open network of dedicated computers spread arround the world.

No one can control or hold the bitcoin because it is decentralize program so no one can manipulate it or use it in bad things. either the government of any country don't have a power to control it as I said it is decentralize program.

It is like a self sustaining system that needs no maintenance which keeps alive and functional by the people who uses it making it circulate throughout the market. I love how bitcoin system was made to have such impervious security that we can put our trust to invest into. I think being made as a decentralize currency does not require it to be controlled by a single entity or company.

Other think that bitcoin have manipulated by the people or investor's who have big share in bitcoin. But it was already stated by satoshi who created bitcoin that nobody own bitcoin. Bitcoin is a decentralized and peer to peer, it is a self sustaining system.

There are many stakeholder like miners, hodlers, exchanges and developers are the one who have a big factors
affecting bitcoin prices, because hodlers can hold bitcoin that affects the circulation of bitcoin and i think exchanges is the biggest factors among the four reason stated above.

I DO believe that all the users of bitcoin are the ones in controll of it. It is free  for everybody. As long as you know  how to do it through internet. It depends on them  how the circulation of bitcoin and its price . More demand  of using  and adopting bitcoin , there will  always be that  big increase in price.  If nobody using it , then how it will grow. So it depends upon those people who are believing in bitcoin .

No one can really control bitcoin, the inner source information about bitcoin because it is secured by the creator called Satoshi Nakamoto and made it decentralized, that means the every transaction made is viewable but disabled for editing. Regards with the price and value of bitcoin i can say that we are contributing to its price because we demand for it.

One of the greatest that has been invented to help our system to be more secured and can't easily be manipulated. This is why more people are getting amused  about how the system works. No one really control the Bitcoin because the system is being distributed and to think those who owns a coins could also be an owner of the system.

Bitcoin is different than mobile application. Mobile application have management and management have control on their software but not on bitcoin. Bitcoin have own blockchain and spread all around the world, no one can control or manage that data chain

bitcoin is decentralized and nobody can control it . bitcoin is a consensus mechanism . all bitcoin holders reached a consensus . even people with the most bitcoin cannot change it , he is only a node .

its not who its what there is a group of people who control blockchains that controls the transaction transition, whales controls the price.

Bitcoin is inherently permission-less. Government's approval is not required. No one specifically controls Bitcoin in that:

(1) No one controls how quickly it can be mined. Every other Bitcoin becomes harder to mine as per the nonce of the mathematical algorithm.

(2) No one controls its value...some pump and dump practices have failed sinc skilled players can see the predictive pump-and-dump patterns on the market charts...so "insider trading" corruption is nullified.

(3) No one controls how it WILL evolve...and evolve it must to meet its new challenges of scaling etc..

(4) No one controls its utility.

Yes there are whales, miners etc...but ultimately is an ecosystem of interdependence and that's the BEAUTY of Bitcoin. The same variables cannot be applied to corrupt government FIAT currencies

no one owns bitcoin. It's decentralized and has to be in order to survive. But it can be accessed by core developers, so in case those people would decide to cause some harm, they actually could.

Ok, no one can control bitcoin.
But.. how can Bitcoin exist without internet?
If shutdown internet, bitcoin node cant' works.

I think the one and only can control bitcoin is the creator of it, he has all the code that can change bitcoin and it is only Satoshi Nakamoto.

General opinion that it’s decentalised and therefore isn’t controlled by anyone, but then there are obviously patterns in its behaviour that it is following. That means that there’s stuff that affects it and goes into it.

Bitcoin system is decentralized and no one can control bitcoin supply, transaction data etc. Bicoin developers spreads around the world because they want to participated on revolutionary new monetary system.

I agree mate , if we are not here and all people here Bitcoin is die. Yeah, we need Bitcoin but Bitcoin also need us and we can support each other. Promote Bitcoin to convince people to use Bitcoin because have a always good value.

In summary, because blockchain technology used in bitcoin is a decentralized system, we can say that there is no body or institution even government can control it. It only can be controlled by all users involved in it.

As it is made by someone it is also controlled by someone but the main controller of bitcoin is the bitcoin community. Although Bitcoin is decentralized, I believe that it is controlled by some developers, it is unlikely that technology is created without the people behind it.

That is the beauty of this system, it runs on its own. This brings more transparency and reduced the running costs to almost negligible.

As a decentralized system by design, it can be difficult to see where the real power lies in Bitcoin.
There are a number of different players in the ecosystem
(e.g. miners, hodlers, exchanges, developers),
but one entity has more power than the others in terms of what types of protocol improvements will be made.

no one can control the bitcoin price. it is purely about the market itself in my opinion.
the only one can take control it, is a user of bitcoin itself, including rising or fall the price of bitcoin.

Bitcoin is a decentralized currency which means no one controls the entire system. You as a user control your own coins just like other users which does not put power in the hands of a single person. This is why the governments are against it because there is no way for them to control which means there is no way for them to control the users and what they do with their money.

if we knew and could indeed control bitcoin then I think the course would now did madly flew up maybe soon it will actually happen

i heard a japanese version of graf dracula is doing that,

According to me Nobody control bitcoin system . Even it's decentralization but you can say that bitcoin is controlled by all of us.

Miner is the one who controls bitcoin network, and anyone can be a miner and participate in processing bitcoin transactions in the world
You can join in one of pool to work together to mine bitcoin.

Nobody controls the bitcoin system as I think because it is decentralized. We the people most especially who did earned a lot of money  are the one who has the big part of making it works.

Many large bitcoin holder in our forum, if they able to change bitcoin price,I think they do that again and again.But it is not possible because bitcoin is a decentralized crypto currency system.

There is no one that controlling the system of bitcoin, the bitcoin price is affected by some factors such as the law of supply and demand which is the most factor that affects the price of bitcoin.

Bitcoin is controlled by the people all over the world.
the system of sending and receiving is also held by the people (miners)
they are the one who gets involved in it.
This is why governments and bank are getting on their nerves as they want bitcoin to be regulated but its very hard.

Developers can indeed improve Bitcoin software, but they can not enforce changes in the Bitcoin protocol because all users are free to choose the software and version they want to use. In order to remain compatible with each other

Bitcoin is controlled by all its users worldwide. the developer can indeed improve Bitcoin software, but they can not force change in Bitcoin because all users are free to choose the software and version they want to use. In order to stay with each other, all users need to use the same rule-compliant software. Bitcoin can only work well if there is a full consensus among all its users. Thus, all users and developers have a strong incentive to realize this consensus.

big pools and miners controlling bitcoin systems and their network hash rate , no one could centralize control bitcoin at all only all people.

yes you are right, as it is the specialty of bitcoin. and different when compared to the obvious altcoin there is a developer behind it.
bitcoin becomes the most promising crypto in investment or trade. that's why bitcoin evolves as the times progress.

The whole concept of BTC and blockchain was created to make sure that no one controls the technology.

my point of view is that we are all part of a game of bitcoin, we can only control it at a sufficient level and make our investments properly. you need to go ahead with gains and losses may be the issue at this time those who have large amounts of money may want to take control of the manipulation can add the price can break

Bitcoin is an open source software that was originally operated by Satoshi Nakamoto. Nakamoto left the site in 2010 and handed over the key to Gavin Andresen. Andresen claims he has managed to decentralize and said: "As soon as Satoshi left and put the project on my shoulders, one of the first things I did was try to decentralize it. Leave Bitcoin to a fully decentralized network.

Developers can indeed improve Bitcoin software, but they can not enforce changes in the Bitcoin protocol because all users are free to choose the software and version they want to use. In order to remain compatible with each other, all users need to use software that follows the same rules

Noone controls the Bitcoin system. Nó hoạt động dễ dàng, nhanh chóng thông qua công nghệ blockchain hiện đại và có tính bảo mật cao. Chính vì thế, bitcoin ra đời rất được nhiều người tưởng tượng bởi công nghệ hiện đại của nó và giao dịch tự trên thị trường cryptocurrency.

The popularity of the bitcoin cryptocurrency beats all records, which can not but cause heated discussions about its future, despite the fact that opinions about it vary greatly: some fully support the virtual currency, while others absolutely do not believe in its potential. "Voice of Russia" discussed the phenomenon of bitcoin with Andreas Lehrbaum, Chairman of the nonprofit organization "Bitcoin Austria".

The problem is that if some software developer wants to enforce his changes to Bitcoin, then he can easily create a forked chain. Ever since the first forked coin was created (Bitcoin Cash), we had dozens of such forked chains.

Currently, no organization controls Bitcoin! The community is running it, I wish it would always be that way!

In fact, bitcoin is not possible to control. And all thanks to the blockchain, which eliminates third parties, which may this system to control. Now it sought a government that would be able to control this market. But while there is no system that could manage transactions and the blockchain.

I strongly agree on your opinion that, there are people who own a very large percentage of the extracted bitcoins and if they want to change the price, they will do it. And adding also my opinion that, the only one who can control bitcoin is its users, the developers only facilitate to provide virtual wallet services to bitcoin users without being able to change the system implemented by bitcoin with blockchain technology. In addition, Bitcoin is controlled by us the people it is decentralised meaning nobody has full control of it. On the otherhand, btc is controlled by minority who holds most of btc, Its all about money and power.

no one system can control bitcoin. i think bitcoin control by the community bitcoin user itself. even the government of a country can not control bitcoin because I think bitcoin is created only as a digital currency. of course you know some countries forbid the use of bitcoins but can not prevent all bitcoin users in the country to make transactions

nobody cibtrikk the bitcoin system even the bitcoin netowrk, the system, transaction in and out is managed by system automatically that get the data from bitcoin user, so it will very good for use because nobody can't play bitcoin price. because bitcoin is designed for work automatically, even the creater can't control the bitcoin system right now ( as i read it)

I think differently. If there is a group of rich enough to work together, they will control the bitcoin market. Because at present, the market capitalization I see is not big enough to be out of control of the big money.

BITCOIN, like  most cryptocurrencies is free of any control , whether institutional or governmental, It value is only controlled by the forces of demand and supply. There however are developers who can only upgrade its operating system, but Thats just what they can do

The bitcoin core developers have the biggest influence in terms of innovation but any updates they suggest have to achieve consensus among all users so there isn't really a central point of power. The bitcoin foundation pays the devs and also communicates with governments so they are quite influential

I do not think anyone is controlling bitcoin. Bitcoin is controlled by everyone.

Bitcoin is a decentralized system and uses blockchain technology so there is no single server, when the first server receives a blockchain confirmation it will be forwarded to the next server this can continue up to billions of chains.

Nobody has the rights or credits to bitcoin. So bitcoin is technically a technology that was being rub by the users and not by a single company or entity. This is the same thing tgst goes with a lot if revolutionary internet programs or activities like the invention of email. Nobody owns royalties on the creation of email. I think this is just good since bitcoin is intended to become a decentralized cryptocurrency.

No one controls the Bitcoin system but the community and the miners. The word decentralized is used with Bitcoin for this reason only. If the miners ever go rogue than the community can just fork the coin and start using that chain instead of the older chain. This is a benefit of decentralization that you wont get any where.

Bitcoin uses a decentralized system. No one governing party (such as a bank) because everyone participates in the process. This means no one can decide on one side or create a new policy that incriminates the owner of this currency. For example a Bitcoin address can not be frozen by a party.

Bitcoin have limited supply and not one institution or government can control the supply. Its happen because bitcoin have decentralized system and its can eliminate intermediaries

I believe that no one controls the bitcoins. Although for a percentage of 40%, perhaps several hundred people around the world can influence. Owners of the largest number of coins.

for me i think nobody controls the bitcoin i think bitcoin  controled by itself  :D or sometimes bitcoin controls the people who wants to earn it  :P

Only large players with joint actions can regulate the cost of bitcoins, as it has always been and will be in any industry. And it can not be controlled any more.

So far as I know, owners are the controller of BTC. It has no central authority like conventional system. On the other hand many people think the people who have a huge amount of BTC can control it. This concept is not right, I think. It is control by market demand and supply.

No one controls bitcoin, but sometimes​ it is being controlled by large investors and the users, once their is a high demand, BTC's price will be determined.

there is no control over bitcoin and the only one controls it is the dev and the owner of bitcoin we do not know how to recover the bitcoin but we just hold it

The person running a node is part of controlling the bitcoin system. If you use a wallet from a third-party service, or an address given to you by the market, then you have no control over the system. You can only say that it is one of the users of this system.
There is also a saying that the miners control the entire system, but I think that the miners are producers and have a great influence on the system, but they cannot say that they completely control the system.

Many people regard bitcoin as a bubble. Its creator is anonymous so who could be termed as its controller. If there will be possible controller,it will be those who have enormous amount of bitcoin. They could actually influence its price in the market.

in fact many bagholders are able to provide a variety of sentiments and enough influence to thrill the price, in the future this will be something terrible because it is beyond the control of the government. The market plays an important role and the monopoly will remain in effect at any time due to the absence of a formal policy patent for the active intervention of the national regulatory agency.

indeed the bitcoin system is made its value determined by the value of demand and sales of bitcoin only with the patience and belief that bitcoin will develop in the future that makes bitcoin strengthen

So far no one can control the existing system in bitcoin, be it individual, group, institution and even government that has power. We as users can only control the price, not the system.

I thinknno one controll the bitcoins system but us the users that thing is just being invested and then leave it by its own so i think it is a pure conputer that cannot be hacked because of maximum security. Maybe the only thing that can access it is the one who male it but no one knows who really the man behind it because it can be me or you no one knows. Or maybe there are really a person behind it controlling the price but we do not know there are a lot of possibilities in my mind.

As a decentralized form of currency, Bitcoin prides itself on having no governing body. It is completely run by the people who use it. However, many people wonder who actually has control of Bitcoin. There are some systems that are vital to keeping Bitcoin running properly. Its blockchain technology isn’t automated, as some people believe, instead it relies on the hard work of miners to keep it going.

The bitcoin system is no one can control because bitcoin is decentralized. The developers not control the whole system. But the developers thinking on how the bitcoin system will work good. There are the people who maintenance the whole system.

At least until now no one can control the existing blockchain system in bitcoin. But keep in mind that the system is man-made. Someday there will be a genius man who can control the system or create a new system more sophisticated than the current bitcoin system.

I strongly agree with your opinion.

Yup that is how the developers help bitcoin because they don't have the right to control it because like you said, in the first place bitcoin is a pure decentralized cryptocurrency so the developers are just thinking about the possible improvement or upgrade of bitcoin and after that then they will just implement it to the system by having either a soft or hard fork.

I think nobody can control or own the bitcoin system like they can not control and possess the technology by email and the internet. Bitcoin is controlled by all its users worldwide. Developers can indeed improve Bitcoin software, but they can not enforce changes in the Bitcoin protocol because all users are free to choose the software and version they want to use. There are people who own a very large percentage of the extracted bitcoins. If they want to change the price, they will do it. And there is no question of any decentralization! Bitcoin has become a means of manipulation.
However, the unique feature of this technology is that bitcoin transactions are confirmed by miners and recorded on all connected servers around the world.

I think the technology has the bitcoin control value because nothing else can control it in bitcoin but the technology and it's just the way to play bitcoin

I don't someone has control over bitcoin's power or if anyone could manipulate it to their own will in the first place. The creator of bitcoin itself Saroshi Nakamoto made bitcoin decentralized for this purpose. And not even him, has any control over bitcoin's prowess. I think this is just optimal and right for a global currency to have. Since it could also theoretically reduce corruption and graft among the government if ever bitcoin is considered a currency.
