Who controls the crypto market?

[ajiejot]

No one. Only people who are using crypto markets, it is the best that we have crypto market, specially when decentralized crypto market. Market can be also be manipulate or control, specially when you are whale, means you have large fund, you can do the pump and dump.

[Ace Amias]

No one is controlling crypto market its the demand and supply if the demand is high the price will be high and when demand is low price will be also low whereas supply is vice versa to demand its only the market who control the prices of crypto no one has the potential to control it if anyone has the control of it who will want to lower the demand so he can be in loss.

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?

People do. Its the simple matter of supply and demand.

Its depends what you define as control. The first thing is no one is control crypto.  A cryptocurrency is a digital or virtual currency that uses cryptography for security. A cryptocurrency is difficult to counterfeit because of this security feature. A defining feature of a cryptocurrency and arguably its most endearing allure is its organic nature; it is not issued by any central authority, rendering it theoretically immune to government interference or manipulation. if you say that who control price of the bitcoin then it control big group of investors they manipulate the price of both bitcoin and crypto currency world. Actually no one control the market totally it can’t control in one hand like central bank control fiat currency. when china was dominating in the crypto market chiness gamblers used to easily manipulate bitcoin price but later when bitcoin inventors spread worldwide they lot their control. If any large number of  group of people get together and work together then they would able to control bitcoin price as well as crypto market.

Peoples, market control the price.  Supply and demand, more peoples to buy, the price will going up and vice versa.

Absolutely you are right basically bitcoin do it control the crypto Market but people also right need. Because crypto Market price going to up and down only depends Buy or sell.lookly supply increase to market up and supply decrease then market goes to down.

[Glad108]

I doubt if anyone actually controls the crypto market since it is unregulated. But the big coin holders can influence it.

Cryptocurrency market is not under control of any particular authority or person so you need to make yourself clear that this world of cryptocurrency is fully independent and not controlled by anyone so you should need to see the factors who fluctuate the market of the cryptocurrency .
Mcafe and another b predictor of cryptocurrency market are writing tweets at their Twitter accounts because of only the reason to separate the positivity in the cryptocurrency market .
In the present time the most of the dump in the price is only affected by the negative news and fuds , that why big Bitcoiners are trying to create positivity through social media platform so that people do not exit from cryptocurrency market because if all the traders will get out from the cryptocurrency market due to fear or panic then surely value of the old coins will become totally about near to zero .
a dumping and pumping in the market of cryptocurrency is a usual thing but this year is very much dump , we can see the past years where same condition was but after the gap of one year we found that a b pump taken place .
So don't be negative and be positive that soon you will get much profit .

first we have to look to bitcoin first. as crypto with the highest price, bitcoin automatically becomes the main control of crypto market. and bitcoin is decentralized which means it is not centered on anything and controlling the price of bitcoin is the holders themselves. the more that sell, the more it will go down. the more you buy, the more you will go up.

[oanhphong]

The control in any business is also necessary. And in the currency markets that the world is using, governments are intervening and controlling the dollar, Yen Japanese, and ero. And in the crypto market the control of Altcoins is bitcoin. But this control of Bitcoin accidentally made the Altcoins dependent on price and development.

I don't think it's someone in "particular" controlling the market. Each and every crypto users are part of the market. Yeah, peoples who are holding a lot is having the power to bruing changes in the market. Basically the price of a coin fluctuates because peoples might have sold assets(coins they were holding) and invested in any other coins which generally reflects in rise of value in that particular coin.

If you find a certain coin "x" leading with +15% it's because the circulation of demand is more. At that moment a coin holder sells a huge amount of "x" from their assets then the coin price will get low/negative on it's own. Until and unless the amount of coins available for purchase : amount of coins available for sale is average or more than average it will remain negative.

[Penuzel]

well its impossible to someone can control price right know for BTC . its very high price and high demand .
but for coin ICO or altcoin very possible to happened , some group or developer of coin it self possible to do that thing.

[ubay]

No one can control the crypto market, because it requires extra energy and money to control it. And even if there is that it is not possible, even the state cannot control bitcoin.

[gesdan]

nobody controls the market, nobody can't control the bitcoin price or other cryptocurrencies price, but if you ask who are people that can control bitcoin and cryptocurrencies? the answer is all people that involved in the bitcoin, the demand and the stok in the market that created by the investor and trader is affect bitcoin price and i think that it is the big factor that makes bitcoin price is rise up or drop

[King Bounty]

I think those who can control crypto market prices are those investors who have the most capital, because only by having a lot of capital, we can control the crypto market.

[donadoni212]

I think the only one who can manipulate the market is a big investor, because the price goes up and down the buying and selling factors, if the sales volume is greater than the purchase it is likely the price will go down, and vice versa if the purchase volume is more likely the price will rise, they affect token level and crypto currency, I'm sure they also set the background of the news that is not good for the overall market.

[April Ford]

In theory, nobody. In practice, the large conglomerates of Pump and Dump traders that artificially push or pull prices before exiting at a favorable time. With enough hashing power you can “control” coins to a greater or lesser degree.

 Who controls gold? This is the exact reason bitcoin and cryptocurrencies were created. To relieve the governance of a president, group, or government. With the exception of some coins the main idea of cryptocurrencies is to be decentralized. Bitcoin is probably the most decentralized and largest coin… given that we don’t even have a founder/creator.
 The goal of this is to not rely on the government and to not be pushed around by them either. With a fiat currency we can just create more money and make the value go down or even burn the money to make it go up. It’s value is really determined by the country and how well it’s doing. With Cyptocurrencies it’s way more valuable and can’t be manipulated so easily(provided the coin is distributed around and has a fairly large market cap). If your countries fiat fails you have nothing to worry about, it’s as if you were just to hold gold but with a way to transport it and actually use it in your daily life.

Actually no one controls the Crypto market as well as has the technology behind the e-mail. But all Bitcoin users around the world control the Bitcoin price fluctuations. Even though the software is fixed by developers, it can not be forced to make changes in the Bitcoin protocol. all users are free to choose which software and version they are using.

[oni4an]

Of course, I'm sure there's a certain group of people owning most of the coins. It's a conspiracy theory, if you like. I think it's just a natural current of the market: After takeoff is always a drop, and then comes stability.

No one can control the crypto market, because it requires extra energy and money to control it. And even if there is that it is not possible, even the state cannot control bitcoin.

if in my opinion who can control the market is an enthusiast who always buys coins and investments. because with so many investors and traders entering the market will increase
