I imagined for a second that it was an app to legitimately manipulate the actual Bitcoin price at will lol. I thought this is it not possible, but it turns it just modifies the graph. Unfortunately the only way to really manipulate the price of Bitcoin is having a lot of money to begin with, and there's a lot of people with money out there and the marketcap is so small that the Bitcoin price is manipulated daily.
