I believe price is continually increasing due to the fact that the same BIG BOYS and government's dependent private sector are secretly and slowly accumulating, if I was an investor the first thing I wanted to make sure was to completely be assured when I invest for example $200m and some day next week when I wake up my investment has grown and not destroyed by some third party involvement.
Good thing about bitcoin those third parties (miners and full nodes) want nothing other than the success and prosperity of my investment(bitcoins).
haha, you sound like some of those guys who wears a tinfoil hat everywhere!
there is no plausible reason for your "BIG BOYS" to be accumulating bitcoin just to crash its price. what you don't understand is that those big boys don't care about price of bitcoin but care about existence of bitcoin. and its price has no effect on what concerns them.
