Bitcoin Prices are Being Manipulated...

[JackyChu]

Just what I am thinking about. I believe that bitcoin  prices are being manipulated but I don't know how can they manipulate the market, that must be the person has so much power in crypto world.

The issue of price/market manipulation is one reason why crypto is dreaded by so many investors, Pumps and Dumps only scare people off fr the space, and way I see it even Bitcoin is currently being manipulated by those actors who have a thing of two to gain! These acts will only portray the market in bad light and prevent investors trust!

For instance, there's a chance that some people simply got tired of waiting for a bull run or some upward movement and decided it was time to dump,

why would they sell something that is not moving? and why would they dump instead of selling?

put yourself in their shoes. imagine you have bought bitcoin and gotten tired of waiting for the bull run. would you immediately dump all you have on the market or will you wait because you know no matter what, the price will go up. besides unless you think they are all brainless, nobody dumps a lot of bitcoin in one go. they sell slowly.

this was a big ass dump which makes it manipulation not natural traders getting out because of boredom which doesn't make sense at all since we were in an accumulation phase!

maybe this drama will end, yesterday's battle will be over and bchsv will lose. hopefully this will be a good sign for bitcoin.
although there is no certainty whether the war on social media still continues between the two supporters. I want BTC to be stable again.

I belong to that school of thought that bitcoin is being manipulated by few individuals who have the power to do so. Although the world of blockchain is decentralized system with no particular regulator, there are some individuals who have the power to manipulate the market to their benefits.

Yes, bitcoin value as we know depend on supply and demand so it's possible to see bitcoin value so manipulative.
So that's why people aware the risk of bitcoin trading but we as human also greedy creature that want to achieve anything for profit.

There are reports that the price of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are manipulated by some big investors or whales and they are the reasons why the ecrypto market is in bearish situation until now. But I think the main reason in the continued downtrend of bitcoin might be a massive selling or dumping by some investors who are in a state of panic and want to cut their losses. Others are just waiting for the bitcoin to fall further until it become more cheaper before buying again.

There are always some sectors which try to manipulate the bitcoin prices. But they are not solely responsible for the rise and fall of bitcoin. They may, in fact, affect the bitcoin price partially but not totally.

Though bitcoin price has been manipulated since the first half of the year, but, after bitcoin cash hard fork bitcoin came down at 3400 USD and that doesn't seem appropriate! Something really happened by the whales or bitcoin cash! Crypto weak hands people are already left this place, now we need some big investors and holders and some good news to regain the pride!

I think bitcoin price is affected by our collective, not by anyone. It is because of the people in exchange for money and some others make the BTC price unstable and fall, I hate them people .

This is what happens, they manipulate well and shake this game so that many lose and lose a lot of money. A big risk is experienced and makes a dilemma, but this can be overcome and survived because it will not last long.

Yes, I think that volatility is short-lived and will end up with a high return. Let's just wait for that to happen, and I'm one of those who believe in it like you . Let's see the final results with me.

The possibility is that the bitcoin price is really manipulated today.
That's why the price dropped. Well, let's accept it and take advantage of the cheap bitcoin price. Because of the fact that when the bitcoin price rises we will also have a profit.

yes, the price is manipulated by some big whales but we do not know exactly who they are.

Just what I am thinking about. I believe that bitcoin  prices are being manipulated but I don't know how can they manipulate the market, that must be the person has so much power in crypto world.

It is simple they orchestrated news, some huge sell within themselves.  They often time it when there is some crisis or conflict within cryptocurrency that they think may affect bitcoin price.  This manipulators have huge stash of Bitcoin and/or huge fund to play the market.  It is not a single person I believe but rather groups of person that wanted to take advantage of high volatility of Bitcoin and the weak hands that bought Bitcoin during the hype.

Manipulation is manmade and this he can do for his own benefit. I tend to agree because man by nature is greedy and will always find a way to fend for himself. What I believe was the BCH double fork that produced BCHABC and BCHSV were responsible for the crash in bitcoin because there was a massive withdrawal of bitcoin to buy the new forked out coins and the pressure was much on bitcoin. It is still manipulation in a way.

A few people hold a lot of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
These people have a lot of money to manipulate the price. Unlike the regulated stock market, major shareholders need additional supervision and review.
There are no such rules for supervision and review in terms of cryptocurrency.

In the article "Dirty secret revealed in new bitcoin crash", the writer Jason Murphy says that "Bitcoin is supposed to be an expression of collective free will in a system controlled only by the incorruptible mathematics of cryptography. The currency collapse pattern suggests Bitcoin may not be so free after all" he said this because the prices maybe are being manipulated by bots or someone or some group. He explains that in moments when the markets are having stability and suddenly the prices fall that means manipulation.

What do you guys think? I think that maybe there is a little manipulation

I think the cryptocurrency and bitcoin markets, are being manipulated a lot, this is also the reason that the SEC does not accept bitcoin ETF. This market can be manipulated because its volume is too small, to avoid manipulation we need to reach the capitalization of trillions of dollars.

I think any currency can be manipulated to a greater or lesser extent. History remembers such cases. Many indicators influence bitcoin and this can be used for manipulation.

Yes indeed, the pressure coming from those who dumped and control larger volume of Bitcoin can really create an impact to the entire market, every side of any industry's have there own versions of manipulations we cant deny the fact that we are also in the industry where greedy and wise businessman are gathered to control the market.

It is not new that the prices were manipulated in crypto currencies because it is decentralized so who have large amount of cryptos to make a change in the supply and demand will bag profits but the thing is they can't manipulate if the investors don't react to the market changes and also forever because their holding will get diluted gradually when new people increase into the market.
