people who invest in bitcoin, are controlling the price of bitcoin itself, including us. but the most important thing is those who have a lot of bitcoin in their wallets that will sell all of their assets whenever they want for price dumb, or commonly called "whales".

[SB16]

I don't think anyone control the cryptocurrency world.according to their requirement also Supply and demand is important factors for price downtrend and uptrend.

[Gamblet]

I think that the exchanges most influence the price of Bitcoin. Also, big miners and traders have a big influence. I think it's hard to single out someone specifically who influences the Bitcoin rate.

I saw a lot of peoples very naive here. The market is take control by sharks (financial org,hedge funds and exchange owner, ... )  Sharks create this game to get our money.

[Ikpirijor7]

there are certainly a few people who has a lot of btc and in this manner can move the market any way they need, just requires a poke to move the market! what's more, a few people say that all these "aches/shorts" are basic "exchanged" by individuals who move the market up or down and profits in either course

[dang thi bich thuy]

According to what i guess people control the market in one of three situations. The first is the father of the BTC because he can hold a large amount of control of the market. Secondly, shark speculators and other important factors are government policies that affect monetary policy.

[krishnaverma]

In short the price is determined by supply and demand.

Now supply and demand is affected by factors like :

1) If there is a good news about crypto, it will increase demand.

2) If a major economy bans crypto, demand will reduce.

3) A major hack on an exchange will cause panic and force users to sell thus increasing supply.

The us government controls Bitcoin.  You guys really think this is a free market?  Do you really think they would allow that?

Bitcoin is purchased with US dollars.  The Federal Reserve prints these at no cost.  The fed owns everything. 

[alinalovedoogie]

Actually, no individual factor or person can control the crypto market. The Cryptospace depends on the market condition, market condition depends on people, hype, news etc. These are the factors which actually controls cryptocurrency market indirectly.

[sabihanazir]

I think big investor and many people control the crypto market because when more people buy bitcoin the bitcoin demand and  price is high and when more and more people sell bitcoin it price is low...

[Brianlee0112]

As we know cryptocurrency is a decentralize market ,it is not that only a specific group control this market . There are different groups who controls market of cryptocurrency like sometime the investor , the developer, sometime government also control the market.

[Tallay]

Peoples control the crypto market price and most of it is the whales, and the gang of traders because they hold a large number of bitcoins and through this, they can manipulate this market based on there need. Supply and demand is the major factor for increment or reduction in prices.

[rolls89]

The main existence of Crypto market is decentralisation. No one controls the crypto market as of the fact.

[TiceOwil]

1) The Core Team That Develops The Currency Has Control
2) The Public Contributors Have Some Control
3) The Payment Network Itself Has Some Control
4) The Miners Have Some Control
5) The Cryptocurrency Exchanges Have Some Control (kind of...)

The key to understanding control of a crypto currency (via consensus and contribution) vs control of a fiat currency (via central banking) is simple.

A central bank has the ability to extract value from the people who use their fiat currency. They have a government with guns to enforce the use of the currency.

All the participants of a crypto currency can only create value for each other or the entire thing falls apart because there is no incentive to support the currency.

A failure to perpetuate the core ideas that make a crypto coin possible makes everyone involved poorer so there are many positive incentives intentionally built into crypto currencies that prevent everyone from becoming poorer.

I hope this was useful for you!

I think crypto market is controlled by who guys holding coin.Because if most of the people keep holding for long term than which coin dumping.Some crazy seller always trying to sell very low price than automatically market going to down.

[Sutters Mill]

I have been following the crypto scene for the past year and sometimes even though some companies do well their token price drastically goes down and this is the same with btc too. People like john mcafee and roger ver are always talking about how we should get ready for the bullish market but yet the price keeps on decreasing and so i'm asking how and who controls the price. If there is anyone who might be running it?

Two words: Supply & demand. Something is only worth what others are prepared to pay for it, but of course there's probably some manipulation here and there, especially with a lot of alt coins that pop up but they're usually designed to be pump and dumps anyway and the owners of them create them in the first place so they can dump them as soon as they can and then run off with as much money as possible so take that into consideration when investing. Of course, you can also make money off them if you time it right but it's a very shady and unscrupulous industry if you ask me. I'd rather just stick with bitcoin.

[Crypto99p]

Crypto market is just another market as forex or stock market.

So people(mostly traders) control the market by buying and selling power.

But also ,as any other market there are whales in the market who have higher power than others.

[redrose8226]

The crypto market is operated in decentralized mode. There is no control over anyone here. Even then, I think it depends on the demand for investors and the crypto supply.

[anatolykarpov]

It is hard to control a decentralized market however there are some whales, (people who holds lots of Bitcoins) thanks to their early adoption. There are big players just like every market but it’s hard to control the crypto market I think. The biggest manipulator may be the media. Media is strong and they have the power to convince people to buy or sell. So I’d say media is the biggest controller or manipulator of the cryptocurrency market.
