Manipulation of price will decrease soon?

[bitbunnny]

Those so-called institutions you see buying Bitcoin in huge amounts will be the manipulators. They are not buying bitcoin to hold for 20-30 years for fun. They are here to make profits and whatever opportunity they have, they will go for it as long as the end product is profitable. They will long BTC, they will short it, they will set bull traps and bear traps just to make profits, so I say manipulation will still be there.
Certain stocks do have so many institutional investors, but we still do see manipulations happening from time to time.

Well, it's still questionable if institutions are really buying Bitcoin in such huge amounts and what are they real motives
I agree that profit is what motivates them but I I don't think we can really talk about huge amount and institutional buying is still more exception than something that happens regulary. Also, we can't expect institutional buyers are Bitcoin enthusiasts and of course they are driven by profit but doesn't necessary have to be a bad thing.

I don't think it will decrease, it will continue to happen.

The fact that we are seeing more and more people investing a huge amount of money, will never go away. When we went down to $4K last year, don't you think that is a manipulation for the big guns to come down here? The fact that we burst up to $40K means there is a huge amount of demand that went through, and now we are closing to $50K.

In 2021 I think there will be a lot of institutions coming in, it will make bitcoin go up and then stable and very difficult to be manipulated like before. Right now we're seeing elon musk trending with his tesla project. I'm sure it's going to be amazing this year.

Recently, we have seen lots of institutional fund to come in the market. Tesla have invested and possibly soon we will see rich people are using BTC as store of value. As the days go, we see the mcap is increasing. When it will increase more, what do you think, will the price manipulation be decreased? Or even effected? If we look at the Tesla announcement, it didn’t create huge changes. India may have a ban on crypto, that doesn’t effect the market. So, as we see the increase in mcap, will we see power of manipulation is decreasing?

As you said, Tesla purchase didn't create huge changes... So should we really be worried about price manipulation? With so many different investors it seems really hard to manipulate bitcoin price. I believe many different corporations will invest in bitcoin, if they haven't done this yet, but the only risk for bitcoin would be if many of them joined together making coordinated movements in crypto market, that would be a real manipulation.
On the other hand if corporations stay independent among themselves and continue each one with their own goals manipulation will be a weak threat in this market.

It looks that the whales are changing. There is also a big market that most of us don't understand. The OTC market where the Grayscale is trading the GBTC is something that only a few in crypto have knowledge and can use them. Maybe manipulation will begin in this market next where only big players are allowed.

With the billions of dollars worth institutional money flowing into bitcoin, I expect to see decrease in manipulation by whales! However, whales are whales for a reason. They will probably move to other less known liquid cryptocurrencies to continue with their manipulation game and will continue to earn money. In essence, the method will not change but just the field will be changed.

However, with institutional money, more and more bitcoins will be locked out and taken away from supply. Not sure what kind of issues it will bring in! But the control should not be passed to the corporates! That might create big issues for us!

People talk about bitcoin price manipulation as if it is an established fact, yet there is not a single example.

Somebody please show me a documented example of bitcoin price manipulation. Note that simple buying and selling, and rapid changes in price by themselves are not examples of price manipulation.

[ecnalubma]

Time may come that BTC price might stabilise due to huge volume of holders. But as the moment enjoy the price volatility and making profit, investors will not enjoy it if the market is boring. Bitcoin has lot of excitement and new people jumping in the space including high personalities and big institutions, theres a lot to pay attention these days.

If bitcoin price will continue to go up only institutions can buy it, so I think price manipulation will not be ended nor decreases given the fact that more and more companies buy shares in bitcoin in numerous amount more than I can or you can afford is alarming for me, if they want to sell their coins at cheap price and they can do it, we cannot force them not to sell their whole asset if they want. So be prepared and always read news.

[famososMuertos]

In a certain way "manipulation" should be an ambiguous term in this case, it is something that was wanted and was announced to happen, large companies are investing some by simple market situation, they follow trends and are beginning to be located, because a movement like Tesla's and the subsequent previous ones must not be forgotten, they have create the chain effect in traditional investors.

[doctor877]

manipulation is not something that can be easily erradicted as it will always happen. big money flow from institutions and angel investors will always come and its only for profit. no institution is coming to buy at a high price to hold for long. they need to buy cheap or buy huge and cashout short time. its left for people willing to hold.

[GeorgeJohn]

Do you think is only the rich are making bitcoin price to keep on increasing from day to day, I'm thinking because of companies that are into cryptocurrency, their the one causing rapid increase in cryptocurrency especially bitcoin, and for bitcoin to be growing everyday, every week and every months, is of betterment of bitcoin users and it's also making cryptocurrency to reach to the grassroots, which whenever bitcoin increases more people knows about cryptocurrency in general, so I don't think people manipulate the price of crypto rather the increments comes based on demands via marketcap of cryptos.

[FlightyPouch]

Well, it will always happen. As long as we have those that holds a lot of bitcoin, there is no way that manipulation will decrease. Especially that we have these instituions now that invest in bitcoin. There is no way that they are planning to hold that for a long year.

[MCobian]

Bitcoin price manipulation is always there and with the current high demand for Bitcoin, price manipulation should not decrease. Even though more
and more institutions are buying Bitcoin, price manipulation will definitely happen, so don't let your guard down as a victim of whales. The current
price of Bitcoin which continues to rise, could be price manipulation to make many investors buy Bitcoin at high prices. Because the price of Bitcoin is
very volatile, it is very easy to manipulate, therefore good analytical skills are needed to be able to make decisions when is the right time to buy or
sell Bitcoin.

The more whales on the market, the more the chances of bitcoin being subject to price manipulation, that's just how it is. And with the current rally of investors buying hundreds to thousands of bitcoin to "add" into their portfolios is both astonishing and concerning, considering the fact that we're at the mercy once again of a whale that can easily tick the price off in a couple of keyboard strokes and mouseclicks.

Well, it will always happen. As long as we have those that holds a lot of bitcoin, there is no way that manipulation will decrease. Especially that we have these instituions now that invest in bitcoin. There is no way that they are planning to hold that for a long year.

Exactly, wd can't expect these institutions to be benevolent ones who act in the service of the people lmao. These guys are in the industry to earn money since they deem the conventional methods not as profitable as bitcoin or for other reasons whatsoever, but to help the people? Nah that's not it.

News from Tesla investment and their future plans to adopt bitcoin as payment method to buy Tesla products help bitcoin rising a lot. Why did you say "it did not create huge changes"?

Institutes have more strategies and good experts to manipulate the market. I believe they have better connections to news, media platforms and they can more easily to spread big fuds than personal whales.

So, as we see the increase in mcap, will we see power of manipulation is decreasing?

The marketcap of bitcoin is still smaller than some Big Techs and the total marketcap of crypto market is smaller than stock market. I think it is still easily for whales, institutes to manipulate market.

Their manipulations will only be controlled if governments make law regulation and force exchanges to do Circuit breaks and margin of changes within a day of trade.

I doubt they will stop.
When something as huge as Tesla invested, others will follow.
It may not happen for a year but it will soon.
More institutional investors will come in after deep research on what they will step in.
I mean, you cannot just follow blindly for it's a huge risk you will take.
Afterward, it will be more difficult to read the market than now or last year or two years ago.

Exactly, these investors will never let their investment die. They will work on it, make some hypes, do market manipulation, that is really the possible thing to happen in the market. In fact, that EM is one example, many known names are jumping in crypto already for this will do the rally the same as what EM did in the past days.

This so-called manipulation has no way to see its end, it is already a part of crypto, and that we have lived the market having this. Besides, this is not harming us, we are making a profit from this anyway.

[Hobo66]

Its the nature of the game dude, all the rich folk talk it up, you know like Elon etc, then they manipulate the market by posting little cryptic tweets, then you find out later they didnt really invest in the stock they tweeted about but a different stock, so then the stocks they tweeted about plummet and the stocks the yactually bought increase in value, job done, rich man richer, you poor people poorer........Following, the trends on bitcoin are up down up down but slowly up overall long term, play long term not short is all I can think off.... And Im a totoal noob to this bitcoin still learning but I figured that out in 3 days flat just watching the market........and those rich guy tweets of coarse...

[imstillthebest]

is announcement or news a manipulation ? no but if they want to manipulate they will act on manipulating it .

 we dont know the exact number of whales playing in this market and if how much is their wealth and if its bigger than the institutions that are investing in btc .

we cant say for now that manipulation will decrease but less and no manipulation is we all wanted because the price can grow stablely
