Bitcoin Market Manipulation

[tikanima]

The market has a lot of influence on Bitcoin, you see, there are so many influences on it, some rich people have a lot of bitcoin and they can influence the market.

just as little sparks can burn and destroy large buildings though.
maybe that's what naturally in bitcoin there is currently manipulating the price with little movement and the others follow it.

So many influential people that can influence the market of cryptocurrency, they manipulate with the large fund they are holding to have a much gain at the end..

Manipulators are, as a rule, people and organizations that have significant financial resources (investment funds, company owners, single major players, and so on). In rare cases, these are people who have good opportunities in the field of information dissemination. The market of bitcoins is controlled by whales - people whose wallets are concentrated most of the bitcoins. they are a problem for investors, since selling even a small part of bitcoins can ruin the market, and the higher the value of the crypto currency, the more real this situation is.

true most people depends on what others do also specially on what they can actually see for it, we see that if you manipulate the market there is some side effects on it that can affect on how you look for bitcoin, try to stay calm even that there is some little movement on it.

Yes. everything comes down to market supply - demand forces. many large institutions and affluent investors hold pretty good amount of bitcoins. they want to ensure that the market can be controlled when needed for their self interests. this happens in traditional market and will also continue in the crypto market.

This is already happening in the Crypto market, we have to be smarter and more careful in acting, do not be easily influenced issues. sometimes because we are easily panicked, the decisions we take are wrong.

Big whales have the power to manipulate the principal markets. For altcoins it came like everytime, developers wanna pump the price and manipulate the market so place and fill a lot of orders hoping that people will fud and follow the trend. Its a common gear in crypto and traditional finance too.

Yes, crypto market seems manipulated to some extent as far as I felt as followed crypto trends for around 1 year, and I think every type of existing market in current world is always associated with some manipulations whether it is large corporate bodies, politicians, traders, and other large groups.

i dont think the market has being manipulated cause it need billion of dollars to move the market up and down on bitcoin. so it will not reasonable just to throw a lot of money just to move the market to down. it will just make he loses if doing it.

I think that maybe there are many people that have much of bitcoin so they don't have a problem to manipulate the price because they can do that without a problem. and maybe in the last year, they really make a lot of money from bitcoin and now they can make the price is up and down. but I think although they can do this easily, they cannot do this for everyday because like or not, they still depend on the supply and demand that is happening in the market.

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. 

In my opinion bitcoin price as manipulated but not all the time,  sometimes when the whales would have some kind of agenda, they will interrupt the way off market and manipulate the price, other days, market just flows according the laws of economy.

[Rupcrypto]

Bitcoin market may be manipulate. But bitcoin prices are always depends upon the market demands.market has lot of influence.

[Eric Costaa]

That manipulation happens is easy to understandable. Even in stock markets which governments impose strict laws on, price manipulation still exist, not to mention the cryptocurency markets which lack strong regulation.

[Valer4ik]

I think that the price today and further will fluctuate in the corridor of 6,2-6,4 thousand dollars, while the market will recover after the next hacking of the exchange

most of the manipulation techniques do not require regulation or lack thereof. they instead require a small market with a thin orderbook so that they can have a big influence on it by having a smaller amount of money.

[Betty10]

Yes there can be manipulations, I do not know what to call them, can't tell if the manipulators have a club, and they will just secretly relay signals to buy or sell and it will just tell on the price of BTC, although in the future, this will be absolutely impossible as good institutional funds flow into the market.

[RawDog]

Investors who own a large amount of Bitcoin may be concerned with spoofing and wash trading to manipulate bitcoin as well as other coin's price. Spoofing is known as the action of creating false buy orders to attract other to get in with the intention to raise coin's price and then actually sell coins for profit. Wash trading, similarly, happens when someone simultaneously sells and buys to create false demand and supply, meant to make it appear as if an asset has more trade volume than it really does.

The whales are going to fuck you - that you can be sure.  Just wait around long enough and you will lose all your money because whales are manipulating everything.  It's called: 'gettin' fucked by the man'

[NavigateSamurai055]

Btc market can not be manipulated. Its a global market. Manipulating btc market is very difficult.

[CrucialTechnology57]

Btc market can't be manipulated. Even Satosi Nakamoto can't .

[IndependentWild87]

Well this is already happens in some places. But we need to be more concerned about the market.
