Bitcoin Market Manipulation

[bayu7adi]

Is this a whales game?
then how much money does someone have in order to become whales?
and how big is the influence of whales on other bitcoiner?
and when is this whales ready to go?

[ladydark]

Yes both the big whales and weak hands work at the same time causing bitcoin price to fall.And now,with nt gox trustee going to sell the 8,000 bitcoins,definitely it would have a negative impact over bitcoin price.

[Yakapo]

Yes, Bitcoin sometimes is not as free as we may want to imagine, there are a number of influential persons out there with an ability to change the directions of the Bitcoin prices and take advantage of it, sometimes they do and the cost of the coin slumps, that's just whats happening to the market no

[gidaahmad]

Price manipulation can only be done by an Exchanger. They do not have coins, but they can sell coins belonging to their users. Therefore we must be careful and smart in choosing Exchangers.

Of course, the market in 2018 has had a strange activity, every time that BTC reaches the value of 10k, it drops back to 7.5k. I believe in the theory that there are Whales that have so much money in BTC that they can influence the value of this and all the others cryptocurrencies. They have the advantage, every day they are richer.

How can we face them?

If you've been around the cryptosphere, you've probably heard both camps on whether BTC is manipulated. Many say it's the "weak hands", others blame large institutions, while other's say it's all that MT GOX guy doing another dump? What do you think? Is it manipulated? Please include your reasoning on the matter. 

Those issues will not occur if it is not true and all of the things you mentioned are some of the reasons why bitcoin dropped its value.  Weak hands, big whales, MT. Gox they are all interrelated. The big whales creating artificial dumps to create panic in the market so that those with weak hands will sell their coins. MT Gox is dumping their coins in large volume which is eating the buy support on the exchanges.

Market manipulation is a domino effect. Big whales and MT Gox will dump it for a certain percentage while weak hands will do the big dumping. Its good to learn from experience because most of the time, newbie suffers from this manipulation.

i think MT Gox is not only the reason behind falling price of bitcoin. Any peoples who have huge amount of bitcoin can manipulated the price.
they just dump their coins, and wait the market to panic and selling, then they buy back from the panic seller.

The price of bitcoin will rise up when the demand is huge and some weak hands selling them off. There are people with huge bags of bitcoins hold it for long time even when they sell it, the price will go down but not that down. But still bitcoins price is still on the right track it has price corrections and hard forks

[kleaty Virus]

Bitcoine prices is susceptible to this kind of manipulation although it is volatile of nature.Its really clear that bitcoine price manipulation is happening. I think, people will think again to manipulate bitcoine market prices.

[doreraj]

For sure yes, and suppose it will be till capitalization wouldn't get hired in 3-5 times or more
how just with big money))

[Airdropeur]

The price is resisting above the $ 6700 level, which means that a corrective wave will follow the recent decline.
I also think this decline forced due to influences beyond the usual supply and demand "Bad news or regulatory action."
Will the price remain in this range? I do not think so but "every session has a different discussion."

[Airdropeur]

There are a lot of things you have to look out for before investing in anything and the same goes for Bitcoin. At the moment the demand for Bitcoin is up and there are a lot of investors eager to buy. However, several bans and fraudulent individuals have caused some hindrance. It makes little more sense to buy now since Bitcoin is down my estimate is that it will go up by the end of the year or at least in few years time. Overall, with investing you just have to know not to put all eggs in one basket Bitcoin might seem to be going up but it's not the only currency on the market. Read up before you invest and your intuition will never go wrong.

[kerjakuat]

i dont think someone can manipulate bitcoin price as it will need billion to move the market up and down so far. most of the reason bitcoin was falling down was because of the banned by some countrys and also because to many fud story about bitcoin.

[Levin23]

I've heard that at the beginning of bitcoin occurrence there is manipulation, that's what causes the bitcoin price increase at first,

there is no need to resist them, just buy below 6500 and become richer. whales are also wrong and sometimes very much.

manipulations do exist, as per experts...you can find more info on bitcoin manipulation at https://www.globaltechinsights.com/ast-years-bitcoin-prices-were-mmanipulated/

[Red-Apple]

I think this is a responsibility that is happening in the market but nobody is manipulating, desperately needing very much money to be able to drive bitcoin value. it's all pure from the market, community, and news.

then how do you explain all those times when price was pushed down within minutes by unloading a large amount of bitcoin on the market. for example when a couple of big sell orders go through practically pushing the price down and only to a point where the support lies so that it is broken not any more. the market does the rest.

[felipe04]

your wrong OP because crypto currency is so good for many users this past 10 years

you can leave if your experience here is not good so just think before you post

good or bad better to always find a way to earn here and not think bad

[tabas]

There's too many reasons to look for with these manipulations but if you don't want to stay independent just work for yourself by buying if the market goes down.

manipulations do exist

It really does not only to bitcoin market.

Crypto is not safe when we are talking about manipulations, it begins with banks and financial institutions then go further inside stocks and forex, same concepts with crytpo those who knows how to play with people's emotions can manipulate the trade and the value of every coins inside the market, we can't avoid them so better to learn how to play with them.
