Who controls the market?

[awawo]

No one control the crypto market due to it volatility and how the market depend on the force of demands and supplies to determine it price and at that the real influential in the market is the users as the market progress depends on they activities.

bitcoin market is indeed difficult to monitor both investors and even bitcoin users, so that what is being considered now is how buyers and sellers will be balanced so that market movements are more stable and can also increase prices

Bitcoin is a consensus network that allows new payment systems and money to be fully digital. Bitcoin is the first decentralized peer-to-peer payment network that is fully controlled by its users without any central authority or intermediary.

You literally gave the definition of Bitcoin works and I dont see any relation on your statement as a response from the above commenter. Of course we have full control of our own assets, which makes your statement way off from the OP's question. We're discussing who controls the market or the prices in the market here, we dont talk about how Bitcoin works.

[Kevin77]

Usually, it is an uncontrolled market, so asking who controls it is somehow you asking are cryptocurrency the same thing as fiat. This is a decentralized space and of course, I do not need to start explaining to you what decentralization is all about. You already said it yourself, there is no single authoritative body which means every single user is in control of the market and everything will always dwindle based on supply and demand.

The performance of the market for sure is all about how people perceive it, and we can say it is easily manipulated at this point since it is more speculative in nature which is why we all look forward to real life usage in the long run.

[Kittygalore]

It is normal for people and institutions with a large crypto portfolio to have the power to influence the market. I can't say that the crypto market is being fully controlled but they are make to effective the prices the rising and down.

This is true. Therefore the one who controls the market is the humam beings or the people. We are rhe one who takes charge for the ups and downs of the market. The pump and such. High demand means high value, low demand with high supply is mot good. Therefore it must be equal.

Remember, this whole thing about crypto is largely decentralized, thus, there is no single authoritative body in control of the crypto market. Although there are few centralized platforms among crypto, the market is largely influenced by the efforts and influence of the users of crypto. How well sellers and buyers treat the coins on the market affect the performance of the market.

Those who have a lot of money can control almost everything so maybe that is not far from crypto since it has a lot of whales and does control most of the pumps and dumps.

[nak02]

In my experience they calling them Whales who are manipulating some coins in the markets they doing the pump and dump but as I can see they been hired by that company or project to do that. Well as an investors we care about the situation in the market but a trader is not, he knows everything if he is an expert trader.

[RadjorBlade]

The market is controlled most likely by those people or organizations which have a huge holdings of crypto.

Crypto owners have a lot of influence to control prices, because with very large capital to buy and sell crypto, prices must be volatile. But the main factors of price fluctuations are supply and demand.

[Wittycoin]

No one controls the market because cryptocurrency is decentralized, but those we so called whales could manipulate the market when they wanted to, and it is so unfair. But generally, people in crypto community are the ones who are controlling the market.

if we take a look at cryptocurrency market participants, actually there are only two kind of investor.large investor or we often call it whales of finance firm and retail investors.maybe this large investor controls the market.

Those who have the power like a market that is already famous. If there is no such market, perhaps the crypto currency will be shocked to see that they have contributed significantly to the crypto world. But until now people who control it are still not there, there is only a market that has a big impact on the crypto currency.

[btctrader69]

the big whales?

[armarsterling7]

Those who have more money will control the market. Why do not they manipulate the market when they have the right to do it? Job manipulation really makes you make a lot of money. In this market, there is no regulation on that and the SEC does not protect, the money guys can make money very easily.

[Labay]

Most of the people don't care if a currency is decentralized or not and don't what it means too. They are just interested to make profits, no matter how. They jump on the new flower of the month, invest some cash and sit down until the flower blooms.
How it works, or what it is exactly doesn't matter to them

Yeah! I notice it too because they focus on the money, on how, where, what and when they get money.  They always see the price of the thing but sometimes they doesn't want to know on what happen because they are focus on the money only.

The money was the powerful thing in the world because you can kill because you can see the light on it.

I think anyone can control the market because crypto is a decentralized in which anyone can access the information so I think anyone can control the market. I've also some assumption that maybe those big whales are the one who controls the market. Just my opinion.

No one can control the market of course but somebody can manipulate the flow just like the big players I mean whales. Once these big players makes something that makes people crazy like manipulating a coin's specific price that makes our emotions uncontrolable and do something stupid that will lead them to hit their targets like having huge gains for such event or I may call that a wise strategy.

[kripkiki12]

The "control" here is different than in the normal financial world as there is no certain authority who takes measures. Here the price is affected by people who buy and sell and also from news in the media that influences people to buy or sell

[Shishir99]

Honestly to say market is not decentralised anymore.Satoshi nakamoto created bitcoin only to establish a decentralised market.But sadly only whales are controlling the market now.I hope this condition will be changed when mass people will join the market.

In fact, controlling the market in general is that outside investors who collectively make purchases or sales and create a price movement, will cause prices to rise or fall, these investors can also be influenced by several factors that cause prices to rise or fall, such as the fundamentals of a company or ico or crypto, or even can be influenced by news and government regulations in their respective countries

True.
If you could just see new tokens being played at the market once they hit the exchange.
It suddenly falls to a value that is like a dust.

If also you could see how much group of traders are trying to force a new token to be listed in a better exchange. They will abuse it as much as possible for the early entry. Buying and pumping then selling back without even thinking of other holders.
Happens over and over again.

Other thing that could control the market could be the Exchange themselves. They need money to pay their employees. Selling this cryptos will be regular to them.

[chika6060]

I believe the whales and exchanges do.
