There is most definitely powers at work here, that is manipulating the price to hover just above and just below $10 000/bitcoin. I have previously hinted at Bitcoin futures having a hand in this, but I have no concrete evidence to back that up. I am currently trying to gather some evidence to prove my point, but it is not very easy to do this.
Prepare yourself for a less volatile Bitcoin price, whilst these Bitcoin Futures are in affect. ^mark my words^
You guys have not seen anything yet. So far, I have seen the biggest manipulation I can ever imagine in the history of bitcoin and who else do you think ? You have said it and I have always suspected this coming since we started having the futures and when this guy was saying something like 'do not worry, I will not drive the market to zero' which means they admit they are manipulators and they are big. Well, there is nothing we can do, is there ?
My opinion is that futures will ruin the lives of traders. The whales will unite and dictate their terms to the prices of the coins. The main reserves are concentrated in them. If bitcoin users keep their coins they will be able to resist the whales. But I don't believe it. During each of the fall we see the panic. Therefore, volatility will only increase.
