The list goes on and on, but any one of these threads should do for your purpose of discussing investor's concerns regarding this topic. All I did was Search the title of your thread and these came up.

I think the vast majority of price manipulation in cryptocurrencies involves ICOs where the coin is premined, or the nodes and control over the nodes is highly centralized.

That's probably true, but this is not the altcoin discussion board and OP is specifically talking about the criminal probe from the US government which is attempting to investigate whether or not traders are criminally manipulating the price.

I do not think bitcoin prices can be manipulated because bitcoin prices are set depending on market demand. The decline in the bitcoin price was fueled by investor concerns over regulatory upgrading in India and potential price manipulation in some major exchanges.

Of course they can be manipulated. Are you kidding me? Just take a look at the sell walls

I think not the price that will be manipulated but the candle of the chart. I know many exchanger or broker that have different candle pattern, it will make the traders wrong step when entry on market. Also, fake news or FUD is a method to manipulate the price which is force the traders to sell their coin soon and make it dump.

Maybe or Maybe Not price Manipulated But Now a Days Market moves On news And Big Hyips So that's A main Reason of Manipulation

If this happens then it can be painful for the investor. False exchange prices, false rumors can confuse the investor's mind. If the investor is confused, then he may abandon his investment idea which would be fatal for bitcoin.

I am not concerned with the price manipulation, but of course there is price manipulation. It is a part of the process that is called price discovery and asset maturation. It happened to almost every new asset

I believe you have some technical knowledge or knowledge related to economy because of the jargons you have used. What I know all about this matter is that prices of bitcoin are supposed to fluctuate otherwise people will lose interest in it and it would become similar to traditional markets of gold and silver. There are many factors that manipulate the prices of the commodity such as demand, supply etc.
