BIcoin Manipulation

[dothebeats]

Could be, or it could be just a normal market reaction knowing that bitcoin had an enormous gain from 2016 and most traders think that $19k is already a good time to cash out. I, for one would share the same sentiment, as I averaged all my buys @ $5000 and an almost 4x gain is very good given that you're just sitting there waiting for your money to grow. While there's still some manipulation currently on going in the crypto market, the massive sell-off in cryptospace couldn't be hinted towards manipulation alone; smart traders just want to cash out, and those who thought that it'll always be up sold at a loss in fear of getting their asses burned by these traders in the process.

I am suspecting that Crypto Whales are manipulating Bitcoin price this early year because they want to get more Bitcoin before it will take off to the moon again.

Do really Crypto Whales are manipulating everything behind our back?

Getting fucked by the man.  

Crypto Whales are always cheating on the price to make us loose even more money.  Someone has to make a system that prevent Whales from cheating the price and ripping off the little guy every time.  

[Fileiro]

For sure whales are manipulating the price to their advantage.

Just don't forget that this goes for the other direction as well.

ALL markets are at their core manipulation. Never let yourself be lulled into a false sense of security because of so-called 'regulation', there will always be manipulators pulling the strings behind the curtain.

[KupKakes]

Of course those whales are controlling the crypto prices.

How you guys think about this roller-coaster ride of Crypto Market this early year?

I consider it as normal. We know that btc prices are volatile and driven by the market demand thus deal with it and go with the flow.

Yes this can be true, the sudden surge and drops in value might be due to their manipulation as they own huge percentage in all the existing bitcoin.

I mean if you think it's the whales that are the only ones that are manipulating Crypto, then you're going to have to be rudely awakened when you find out that crypto is just like any normal traidtional marketplace, it has the people in the news that are shilling, people in government (shilling and FUD'ing for all of these mind you) people who are traders, and so on and so forth.

There are many pieces to this cryto fuding / shilling scene. And everyone is here to make a buck.

Bitcoin manipulation is from big whales every day they create market to come down and encash from it

[loloy]

Yes i often think that this price fall after boom is the result of some kind of manipulations. It is strange, that at first stage everyone was for crypto and then a month later they changed mind and made so many restrictions.

It's undeniable that Crypto Whales were always their behind all of this new financial trend of our generation.
I am not quite sure that this  Crypto Market was fully decentralized because the Crypto Whales are manipulating everything and I suspected that they are the reason why Bitcoin rises as higher as $20,000 before  it goes down last December.
We love to see the full decentralization of Crypto Market but seems impossible this time due to their capability on doing such.

I don't fully believe that the Crypto market is totally decentralized but neither totally manipulated. It's some kind of 50:50.
Whales could manipulate this entire Crypto Market but not fully and that's what I'm trying to prove because seems the Crypto Market is on a roller-coaster this time since December last year. Seems they are always making money on Crypto while investors are losing over and over again.

BTC trading volume has been at a low for a while.At peak we see up to 90-100k.This was during our last correction. On our way up to 20k we saw 65-94k. And throughout the squeeze and resistance at 14-16k we saw just under 40k volume.

[JuniAiko]

A %-tax on crypto exchange greater than X amount of USD etc may help? maybe..

Use that money to build/repair roads and infrastructures, etc.

[Siopao]

The people who holds big amount of bitcoin can really affect the bitcoin price just by moving their coins. Because they hold of bitcoin those whales can dictate the price making it increase or decrease.

[atliens99]

It's so easy to manipulate the prices.  They either put on huge sell or buy offers which are fake to either pump the price or crash it.

[Harlot]

There is a strong chance as getting a lot more Bitcoin to this downtrend before going to the moon is one of the best strategies out there in terms of accumulating Bitcoin cheap. I mean look at the recent rally from 5,900$ level to 9,100$ obviously the price won't come back to above 10,000$ as the whales won't let it as they are still accumulating Bitcoin with the recent downtrend. I also think that the whales will be the one who will start the recover phase of Bitcoin as they are the ones who have the ability to push the prices up and down.

These Crypto Whales had been around since Bitcoin rises like a skyrocket last year and this early days of the year seems they just want to drive Bitcoin to the ground because when the Crypto Market recovers they will earn Millions and Billions Crypto worth of assets in the next few months.

How you guys think about this roller-coaster ride of Crypto Market this early year?

For sure there is manipulation going on. Btc whales can easily manipulate btc price. When the news struck they just wait a bit and sell to drive the price down. So when majority of the people follow the sell trend they can buy btc at a cheap price. And now that the price is low they can buy btc again and make another humongous profit in the coming months

Many institutions, sectors or any large private individuals are after, or could be chasing after bitcoin. Knowing how it stronghold have been taking its independecy through years. Of course bitcoin manipulation will always be a trend to them as long as it is centralized or either way these people would stop.

[lucario21]

There's a huge possiblity that they might manipulate the market right now because they have a finacial capability to do that. We all know in 1st quarter of 2017 btc values were just 2k usd and then it baloons where nobody expect that it would reached above 17k usd. And as everybody observed it's value was too volatile, from that stats controlling the changes were to easy for them because of their experienced in business field.

[Pan Troglodytes]

Hi mate, I think it is kind of conspiracy theory to suspect some big whales are behind the behaviur, which was pretty normal two or three years ago. If you look at the charts then, or even earlier, at 2013-2015 or if you read the news of those early days, the main complaint about bitcoin was the price fluctuations. Ockham's razor would tell us not to look for additional explanations of something that can be easily explained this way.

There is always a possibility of manipulation of big whales and big organization/group of people since cryptocurrency is not that big for them to control. By spreading negative news and spreading FUD, for sure all newcomers and weak hand will going to lose and the whales are getting richer.
